journal entry 8: case study

Since the beginning of the semester, I have been talking about smartphones and what is inside them. After looking at various smartphones, I have come to a conclusion, as far as sensors, actuators, and controllers go, all phones are basically identical. The real differences between smartphones is the hardware and the OEM skin manufactures put on their phones. HTC and Samsung have recently announced new phones (HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4). Both phones have brought new technology to the game.
