6) The very first device to market as a smartphone was the Sony R830 developed by Ericsson in the year 2000.

7) Do you download apps on a regular basis? If yes, then you are excluded from the 65% of smartphone users who download zero apps per month.

10) What is your highest phone bill for a month ever? You have definitely got a long way to beat Celina Aarons. Celina Aarons, a Florida based woman, was billed $201,000 in a single month in 2011.

11) No doubt, you must have at a time of your life read about the scary stories on how your phone waves damage your brain cells. Well, there is a name for such fear, it is Frigensophobia.

13) Almost 20% of Americans admit to using smartphones during sex.

14) The IP code rating system that helps to determine a phone's waterproof level has been around for decades before smartphones. It was used by electricians to understand the resistance of water or ice penetration in any situation.

15) Remember China's Apple due to resemblance to Apple products in design, elegance and minimalism? Yes, Xiaomi. The name Xiaomi means Millet and Rice, a reference to Buddhist concept, which means Xiaomi wants to start from little before heading for the top. That's is actually a good life advice though.

16) Still, on Xiaomi matters, the company sold 15,000 Mi3 in TWO seconds. Yes, two seconds. We don't know why but we attribute that to the fact that the Mi3 was considered the fastest smartphone in the world then.

17) Bluetooth, the ancient file transfer king, got its name from the wrong translation of 10th century Norwegian King- Harald Blatand- His name was wrongly translated into English as Harald Bluetooth.

Bros, when your talking of phone please don't involve Tecno in the midst of the old mama's collection. These old mama are they brands of Samsung, Apple, Nokia, Motorolla, Sony Ericsson, etc, for this few names of brand are too good to be overcome. Lets talk of Nokia. When other phones invested in the Andoid it invested in Microsoft which was later bought but now it is of the Android operating system group of which the market can't hesitate to welcome the big old mama into the game.
