Over the years, we have seen almost everything being integrated into a smartphone ever since Steve Jobs gave the touch of perfection to the concept of smartphones. The portable small gadget has transformed to consume and replace thousands of other gadgets and electronics like Calculator, Compass, Watch, Torch, Camera, GPS and most importantly wired and huge computers. The replacement is not the end of the story. The evolution of these features in recent years is praiseworthy as camera megapixel counts, battery capacity, RAM and storage, Memory, Screen Ratio, and all other specifications are increasing in quality exponentially. The cellphones have gone through severe metamorphosis to serve us for more than just calling and messaging as primary features.

Competition in the Mobile Phone Industry
Many technical changes and new product proliferation every other day have made the smartphone industry extremely dynamic, even if the market shares are highly concentrated in the hands of very few companies. The companies compete with each other to give better than others and better than before but they still need to renovate and do more to keep coming up with new and exciting features which are unimaginable. Smartphones can even be converted into Robots. Quite unimaginable! Right? A lot of great innovations of such kind were witnessed in The WORLD ROBOTCS CHAMPIONSHIP in India.
