A '''Smartphone''' (or '''Smart Phone''', '''Smart-phone''') is a [[Mobile Phones|mobile telephone]] that also incorporates basic functions of a personal computer. This includes gaming, but is not limited to that. Modern powerful smartphones with big screens can easily replace many if not all day-to-day functions of a [[PC]] like internet browsing, email and editing documents.

== Tomb Raider on Smartphones ==
The only system that is supported by several Tomb Raider games is [[Apples Os]]. (See there for a complete list.) This is mostly due to the pre-defined hardware that is far easier to adapt games to than the highly fragmented [[Google Android|Android]] marked with its dozens of manufacturers and operating system versions.{{cite}}

== Hardware ==
In recent years (since the beginning of the 2010s) smartphones have developed a computing power that previously has not been envisioned. Modern phones feature dual or quad core [[CPU]]s and sophisticated [[GPU]]s for 2d and 3d accelerated graphics. The majority of these use an [[ARM]] architecture, which is power efficient and proven in embedded systems.

== Software ==
When in the beginning of the smartphone era [[Apple iOs|Apples iOs]] was the dominant mobile [[Operating System]], in recent years [[Google Android|Googles Android]] has gained dominance over the marked. [[Blackberry]] devices on the other hand have almost completely been thrown out of marked, while relative newcomer [[Microsoft]] with its [[Windows Phone]] line of operating system is slowly gaining momentum.

+A '''Smartphone''' (or '''Smart Phone''', '''Smart-phone''') is a [[Mobile Phones|mobile telephone]] that also incorporates basic functions of a personal computer. This includes gaming, but is not limited to that. Modern powerful smartphones with big screens can easily replace many if not all day-to-day functions of a [[PC]] like internet browsing, email, and editing documents. In a way these devices are a fusion of earlier mobile phones and [[PDA]]s, that both have become practically extinct.
