Resumen

Smartphones have become the main device to access digital services. Its key advantage is the mobility it offers (always with you), despite its limitations in terms of user interface (small screen in comparable terms, and difficult to use keyboard). There are currently many competitors manufacturing smartphones, most of them from Asia, with the exception of Apple. However, in terms of Operating System, there is a duopoly of Android and iOS. Almost 10 years after its launch, it appears that it is increasingly difficult to innovate in the space of smartphones. However, given the myriad of devices available, its hardware specifications allow plenty of choices for customers.
