2SMARTPHONE DEVICE AND HARDWARE
Hardware Info App:
JFDP Labs Hardware Info:
 Overview of the app: The Hardware info app contains all the information of the
system. This app is highly recommended because it helps to know more about the
device.
 List of common specs: In this case, the used mobile has a quad-core ARMv7
processor, 16 GB of internal storage, a display of 720p and an 8-megapixel camera.
 A unique feature of the device: The user device for this case is the Samsung Galaxy
J2 Pro (2016). The main unique feature of this device is that it has a smart glow
notification light. This has an RBG light and can be used for incoming notifications.
Sensors:
The used app is the Sensor Box for Android.
 Overview of the app: This application has an attractive UI for checking all the
sensors present in the mobile device. This app is highly recommended because it can
help to check the user if a sensor is present in the mobile or not.
 Test results: After the successful testing it has been found that the mentioned device
has total three sensors which are the accelerometer sensor, proximity sensor and the
sound sensor. From the test result X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis are determined of the
phone for a particular position. Proximity test result provided the maximum range of
it, and the sound sensor has given the output of measured noise.
Comparing Device:
Both of the websites not showing the same actual information about the same phone.
Everything listed on the site is not correct.

 The www.gsmarena.com website is much better compared to www.phonearena.com
because it is having more categorized info and correct information for the selected
device which is Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro.
 The www.gsmarena.com is providing the accurate results, but the other website which
is the www.phonearena.com is providing some different information compared to the
test result which is done previously. The difference noticed in the total ram size. The
reason may be that the www.phonearena.com is having wrong info in their database.
Phone Recommendation:
For the given specification the best phone which can be selected is the ASUS Zenfone
3 4GB/64GB model.
The main feature of this phone is that it is offering optical image stabilization and this
phone uses some advanced technologies for focusing the camera which is the laser autofocus
technique (Sjamsoedin and Saerang 2014). For the tech specs, this device is powered by a
Snapdragon 625 processor which is very good midrange processor. It is having 4 GB of ram
and for internal storage there is 64 GB space available. The given criteria for
recommendation is fulfilled by the phone as it is having a 5.5 inch screen, a full HD screen,
powered android OS and most importantly the price is 345 US dollars.
This phone is recommended because the design of this phone makes it premium.
Ideal Phone:
An ideal phone should always have the latest hardware and optimized software. Also,
the phone should have a maximum capacity of ram inbuilt in it and high-speed internal
storage with lots of space (Yousef, Adwan and Abu-Leil 2013).

4SMARTPHONE DEVICE AND HARDWARE
In this case, the ASUS ROG Phone is going closest as described in the above section.
This is selected because this phone uses the most powerful flagship chipset by the Qualcomm
which is the Snapdragon 845 (Patzold 2018). With Snapdragon 845, 8 GB of ram and up to
512 GB of internal storage it can be a perfect deal of an ideal phone. Also, this system uses
the UFS 2.1 technology which is very much faster compared to normal emmc storage (Jeong
et al. 2017).
In this module, some major hardware component is covered which are the processor, ram,
display, internal storage, etc.
