Mobile devices
We use a wide range of
technology devices and systems to communicate and share data. While the
components are similar, how the components are used and perform can differ a
little. The features on a mobile device can affect both the performance and
user experience. More powerful features provide a better experience but reduce
the battery life.
Modern mobile devices use a
system on a chip (SoC) technology to combine the CPU and GPU onto one chip.
This has many benefits, including making the device smaller, easier to
manufacture, faster, and needing less power.
The battery life for a mobile
device is important, as people need to be able to use it for at least a da and
preferably more then a day. Recharging batteries takes time, and inconvenience
for the user and reduces mobility. Designers therefore take a lot of care to
design mobile devices with just the right mix of processing power and battery
life.
The amount of electrical power
the processing consumes is not an issue, with a traditional platform such as a
desktop PC, as mains electricity is plentiful there is little extra cost
involved in running a powerful computer.
The size and weight are also
less of a concern then for mobile devices, which needs to be portable and
convenient to use.
