Smartphones are the most outrageous gadgets which have truly dominated the modern day technology. The competition is growing day by day with an array of devices featuring every now and then. The fascinating design, beguiling specifications and adorable platform all account in the success of a smartphone. Perhaps the most subtle feature is that of screen size. At one end Samsung, HTC and Motorola are competing in making huge screens but the top smartphone company, Apple, remains aloof of the competition and is stuck at 3.5 inches from day one and is likely to remain as it is for a genuine reason.
