When discussing the hardware components that a mobile operating system interacts with, it's

essential to consider the physical parts of the device itself. Here's a breakdown:
●​ Central Processing Unit (CPU):
○​ The "brain" of the device, executing instructions from the OS and applications.
Mobile CPUs are often designed for power efficiency.
●​ Random Access Memory (RAM):
○​ Provides temporary storage for data that the CPU is actively using. The OS
manages how RAM is allocated to running apps.
●​ Storage:
○​ Includes internal flash memory for storing the OS, applications, and user data. The
OS manages file storage and retrieval.
●​ Display (Touchscreen):
○​ The primary interface for user interaction. The OS handles touch input and displays
graphical output.
●​ Connectivity Components:
○​ Cellular (4G, 5G): Enables voice calls and mobile data.
○​ Wi-Fi: Allows wireless internet access.
○​ Bluetooth: Facilitates short-range wireless communication.
○​ GPS: Provides location-based services.
○​ NFC (Near Field Communication): Enables short-range data transfer.
●​ Sensors:
○​ Accelerometer: Detects device orientation and motion.
○​ Gyroscope: Measures rotational motion.
○​ Proximity Sensor: Detects nearby objects.
○​ Ambient Light Sensor: Adjusts screen brightness.
○​ Fingerprint Sensor: Provides biometric authentication.
○​ Barometer: measures atmospheric pressure.
●​ Camera:
○​ Allows for capturing photos and videos. The OS manages camera hardware and
provides APIs for applications to use it.
●​ Audio Components:
○​ Speakers and microphones for sound output and input. The OS manages audio
playback and recording.
●​ Battery:
○​ Provides power to the device. The OS plays a crucial role in power management to
optimize battery life.
Essentially, the mobile OS acts as an intermediary between the software (applications) and
these hardware components, enabling them to work together seamlessly.
