Featurephone

Feature phone is a term typically used as a retronym to describe a class of mobile phone handheld computers. These devices have additional functions over and above what's known as the "basic mobile phone" or "dumbphone" which is only capable of voice calling and text messaging. Feature phones tend to use a proprietary, custom-designed software and user interface, and lack the capabilities of smartphones. Feature phones typically provide voice calling and text messaging functionality, in addition to basic multimedia and Internet capabilities, and other services offered by the user's wireless service provider. Feature phones have a backlit-LCD screen and may have a physical keyboard, giving them more buttons than a basic mobile phone, a microphone, micro USB port, microSD card slot, a rear-facing camera to record video and capture pictures, and GPS. If advanced enough, feature phones will sometimes include a rudimentary app store that will include basic software such as a calculator program or simple video game.

Feature phones were the top-selling devices in a wireless carrier's lineup from 2000 to 2010 due to their assortment of features for retail customers, when smartphones were meant primarily for enterprise users. However, in the late 2000s and 2010s, the advent of smartphones running the iOS and Android operating systems ushered in the consumer-focused smartphone with major encouragement for app development, plus the iOS and Android devices were considerably more powerful than existing feature phones on the market.

Feature phones run on proprietary firmware with third-party software support through platforms such as Java ME or BREW The proprietary operating systems were not designed in mind to develop nor handle the intensive applications found on iOS and Android, the latter of which specifically cater to third-party application development which became increasingly important.
