For an advanced user, this can be an understandable name, but many people ask about the meaning of these terms, since they do not know what to refer to.
In this post we will provide a small and simple glossary for all those who want to learn more about these components we read daily in the technical specifications of the phones, it is always good to know the components that make up our phones.
Adware: Ads are unwanted by the user where they are responsible for showing these ads.
Android: The operating system used in our phones, purchased by Google in 2005, is currently in version 9.0.
App: An application or program developed for a particular operating system that allows the user to perform a series of tasks
Bloatware: Applications previously installed by the manufacturer that can not be easily uninstalled.
Bootloader: Boot loader, is a program designed to do everything necessary to start our operating system.
CMOS: A cheap manufacturing chip, composed of independent cells, is responsible for digitizing the pixels in the image.
CPU: CPU. A piece is located in the hardware where you perform most operations. The more CPU power the processing capacity increases.
Dual Pixel: Technology inherited from réflex cameras. It allows faster focus than PDAF, thus sharpening and enhancing the final results of images.
GPU: GPU. A hardware component in which most of the calculations associated with the graphics operations of our device are performed.
GPS: Global Positioning System. The system that allows us to locate any object, vehicle, area, or person ...
Kernel: Basic programs in any device that is responsible for proper communication between software and hardware.
mAh: The electric charge unit we use to know the total battery capacity.
NFC: Wireless technology that works to pass data, automate procedures ...
NPU: Neural Processing Unit. Component in hardware and responsible for most tasks related to artificial intelligence. It loads CPU and GPU work.
RAM: RAM. Work memory in which a large portion of CPU instructions are loaded.
RAW. Raw file provided by camera sensor. Unlike JPEG, it does not contain any compressed or added configurations, and contains all sensor information.
Recovery: Recovery mode in the phone. It allows performing tasks such as factory reset, as well as loading and installing operating systems
ROM: The read memory contains the firmware of the device.
ROOT: Allows you to modify our system where we can access all of our system folders, as well as modify them.
