It Sells More Than iPhone and 29 Amusing Phone ...
The first mobile phone was the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X. It was made 37 years ago, so it was not technologically advanced, by today’s standards. The first phone camera was in the Kyocera Visual Phone VP-210. It was made in 1999 in Japan and could take video and photos. The camera had only 0.11 megapixels and was able to process just 2 video frames in a second, but it was the first ever video filmed on a phone. Much has changed since then and even cheap devices nowadays are much more powerful than the most powerful computers of the past. So much so that your phone has half a million times more memory than a whole bunch of computers that sent the first man to the Moon! Our phones are becoming much more similar to PCs than to actual telephones. But why don't mobile cameras come with night vision? Check out these cool facts you probably don't know about cell phones.
