As of 2022, most mobile phones are smartphones, being a combination of a mobile phone and a personal computing device in the same unit.  Most smartphones are primarily operated using a [[graphical user interface]] and a touch screen.  Many phones have a secondary voice user interface, such as [[Siri]] on Apple [[iPhones]], which can operate many of the device's functions, as well as enabling users to use spoken commands to interact with the internet.  Typically alphanumeric text input is accomplished via an on-screen virtual keyboard, although some smartphones have a small physical keyboard.  Smartphones offer the ability to access internet data through the cellular network and via wi-fi, and usually allow direct connectivity to other devices via [[Bluetooth]] or a wired interface, such as [[USB]] or [[Lightning (connector)|Lightning]] connectors.

Smartphones, being able to run [[Mobile app|apps]], have vastly expanded functionality compared to previous mobile phones.  Having internet access and built in cameras, smartphones have made [[video calling]] readily accessible via IP connections.  Smartphones also have access to a large number of web services and web apps, giving them functionality similar to traditional computers, although smartphones are often limited by their relatively small screen size and the size of their keyboards.  Typically, smartphones feature such tools as cameras, media players, web browsers, email clients, interactive maps, satellite navigation and a variety of sensors, such as a [[compass]], [[accelerometers]] and [[GPS receivers]].  In addition to voice calls, smartphone users commonly communicate using a wide variety of messaging formats, including SMS, MMS, email, and various proprietary messaging services, such as [[iMessage]] and various social media platforms.
