Feature phone VS A smartphone

Feature phone is a term used to describe a low-end mobile phone that has less computing ability than a smartphone. They are sometimes referred to as "dumb phones", as they don't have all the connectivity of a smartphone.
Feature phones can often run simple applications based on Java ME or BREW. However, the feature phone has less advanced programming APIs and is unable to run native software specific to a smartphone platform.Some analysts have predicted that as the price of smartphones comes down, the smartphone may eventually eclipse the feature phone.


A smartphone is a mobile phone that offers more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary basic 'feature phone'. While some feature phones are able to run simple applications based on generic platforms such as Java ME or BREW, a smartphone allows the user to install and run much more advanced applications based on a specific platform. Smartphones run complete operating system software providing a platform for application developers. A smartphone may be thought of as a handheld computer integrated within a mobile telephone.
