The microphone on a smartphone
The microphone is the component responsible for digitizing and passing your voice to the device, and comes standard on every phone since their invention. Its most important function is obviously recording of your voice during a call, but has found many applications today, such as recording standalone or video audio, videocalling, and voice commands.
When its function is so advanced, a smartphone often uses complex technology with a system of independent microphones to achieve the perfect sound. For example, the main microphone captures your voice when you are talking on the handset, while a second dedicated mic identifies and filters out background noise. Sound familiar? A smartphone utilizes an oversimplified mimicking of the human ears to determine the position and distance of a sound source.
