Useful definition of a Smartphone:

 partial quote from:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone

 A smartphone is a portable computer device that combines mobile telephone functions and computing functions into one unit. They are distinguished from older-design feature phones by their stronger hardware capabilities and extensive mobile operating systems, which facilitate wider software, access to the internet (including web browsing over mobile broadband), and multimedia functionality (including music, video, cameras, and gaming), alongside core phone functions such as voice calls and text messaging. Smartphones typically contain a number of metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) integrated circuit (IC) chips, include various sensors that can be leveraged by pre-installed and third-party software (such as a magnetometer, a proximity sensor, a barometer, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and more), and support wireless communication protocols (such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or satellite navigation). More recently, smartphone manufacturers have begun to integrate satellite messaging connectivity and satellite emergency services into devices for use in remote regions where there is no reliable cellular network

In reading this the definition of a smartphone is much broader and more extensive than I believed before reading all this.

However, on top of this it is expected that by 2025 the average smartphone will be intellectually smarter than the average person on earth. However, this is not about intuition, instinct or common sense.

However, this should give anyone pause to contemplate exactly what I'm saying here.
