As for the price, it is continuously falling and they are being improved incessantly, they seem to have great future in years to come. We go acquainted with both mobile phones and computers almost in the same year of twentieth century. Though the prototype of mobile phones has not been changed much till now, only the inside of these gadget keeps changing. Even though affordable mobile phones are endowed with Wi-Fi and GHz processor, touch screen and what not. So where are they heading for? There is a lot of difference in the making of PCs and Sim Free Phones.
You can make small changes such as installation of latest fastest multi-core processors, graphic cards, Gigabyte of RAM, without affecting the main body. However, even small changes with mobile phones can have big effect. For instance a bigger touch screen makes a smart phone heavy in look and it dramatically leeches in the life from battery. On the other hand, if you remove the screen and the battery you are left with tiny space that houses processor, RAM, several audio, video player and camera etc, so it is not the case with a PC. By virtue of all these and many more attributes, smart phone and tablets are occupying a lion’s share in gadget world. In years to come they will certainly surpass the the importance of Contract Phones.
