(they are able to run a variety of ‘3rd-party software components’ (aka ‘apps’) from places like the ‘google play store’ or ‘apple app store’, and can receive ‘bug fixes’ / gain ‘additional functionality’ through ‘operating system software updates’)
(modern smartphones have a ‘touch-screen color display’ with a ‘graphical user interface’ that covers the ‘front surface’ + enables the user to use a ‘virtual keyboard’ to type + press ‘onscreen icons’ to activate ‘app features’)
