Smart phones are becoming a necessity today due to the numerous tasks they deliver, almost 70% of phone users today own one smart phone gadget or the other.
This is a summary of the basic steps in smart phone assembly and manufacturing.


1. THE SKETCH
The designers sketch the phone's schematics on a design board and wireframes where they include all the desirable features and functionalities of the prospective smart phone.


2. THE PROTOTYPE
After achieving a sketch of the desired device and it's functionalities, the designers then generate a non functional prototype of how they expect the smartphone to look like.


3. ELECTRONICS DESIGN
If the non functional prototype is accepted by the team and adopted, the design is then passed on to the Engineers to generate the micro electronics circuitry, after which they design a functional prototype of the smart phone which is called a model .The model is then passed on to the production team where the production scheme of the product is decided and adopted.


4.ASSEMBLY
The electronic components of the smart phone including chips are placed on the printed circuit board after which other components of the smart phone like the batteriy, screen,speaker,keyboard and the rest are skillfully assembled on the smart phone case.


5.TESTING AND WAREHOUSING
After the assembly stage, the gadgets are sent to the quality control where their functionalities and components are tested for efficiency, gadgets that failed quality control tests are termed REJECTS or more commonly FACTORY REJECTS and are sent back for troubleshooting or recylcling as the case may be. Gadgets that passed the QC test are sent to the warehouse for stocking and sales.
