&gt; &quot;Smartphone&quot; has the wrong connotation. It suggests your expensive brick is a phone first, and can do smart things second.<p>If you look at where the battery goes, that&#x27;s usually an accurate distinction. If your screen-on time is less than 4 hours per day, you may spend 75% of battery on the cellular antenna. Everything else takes a lower priority.<p>Calling it a phone also efficiently distinguishes between smartphones and tablets or devices like the iPod Touch which are identical devices except for the lack of cellular antenna.
