The smartphone, the portable device to do everything
Who could do without their cell phone? Certainly not many people. From year to year, the smartphone has seen its performance increased tenfold to finally become today a real small pocket computer. This technical feat was made possible by the miniaturization of the components.

It may even soon replace our bank cards thanks to the development of contactless mobile payment. Many merchants already have compatible terminals allowing them to pay for these purchases with their smartphone.
