A smartphone is a mobile phone that has advanced computing capabilities, including metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) integrated circuit chips and various sensors. Smartphones use wireless communication protocols to connect to networks, and they feature liquid-crystal display screens and support stylus input and touch gestures. Many smartphones include GPS and support satellite navigation. They also have a range of built-in and third-party applications, including social media apps, web browsers, and email clients. Some smartphones include a digital or optical track pad, and some can be used to take photos and videos.
