Most camera types in mobile phones are measured in megapixels. 1 megapixel means 1 million pixels and 2 megapixels is equal to 2 million pixels. A VGA camera is equal to 0.3 megapixels. 1 megapixel or more is much larger than a phone's display so won't make a huge difference if pictures are only being used for phone applications such as MMS. However if you download images to a PC, or want to print them, then the higher the megapixel the better quality the picture.

A type of camera lens that can adjust the distance that is in focus (focul length). Auto-focus usually provides better photo quality than fixed focus since auto-focus lenses can be larger and allow more light to reach the camera sensor.

Light Emitting Diodes (LED). Super-compact, high intensity, fast-reacting light source. LED's are sometimes used in mobile phones as an alternative to a more conventional flash. It lights up the area when taking pictures.

Depending on the phone, you can make video calls in a number of ways. Some phones have one camera and uses that as its video calling camera. Some phones have two cameras, generally one on the front and one on the back. This type of phone will usually use the second camera on the front of the phone as it's main video calling camera, however the phone may also allow you to switch between the two.

When downloading a video this means it will save to your mobile phone as opposed to video streaming where you watch the video as it plays (but it does not save on your mobile phone).

Some phones with this feature require that a headset be connected to use the FM radio so that the headset can act as an antenna. Since this feature allows the phone to use FM radio directly using a separate antenna, it does not use the network and therefore does not cost anything to use.

Picture Messaging is also known as Media Messaging and Multi Media Messaging (MMS). It is the ability to send and receive messages including photos, text, sounds, and images from Media Messaging-capable mobile phones and the Internet to other Media Messaging-capable mobile phones and e-mail accounts. Messages sent to recipients using mobiles that are not Media Messaging-enabled will result in a text message being sent inviting them to access the message via the O2 website.

General Packet Radio Service. A technology, sometimes referred to as 2.5G, that allows customers to remain connected to the network between calls for the receipt and transmission of data. When using GPRS charges are based on the volume of data you send and receive.

High Speed Packet Access, widely regarded as the next enhancement to 3G, also referred to as superfast 3G.

The maximum number of pixels that can be displayed on the screen, expressed as the number of horizontal pixels times the number of vertical pixels. The greater the number of pixels, the better the picture.

The number of colours your phone has in it will be reflected in the quality of the image that you can see when using O2 Active or Media Messaging. More colours give you a better experience. Typically phones have either 4,000 or 65,000 colours. Some of the original colour screen phones have only 256 colours. If a screen has no colour at all then it will be greyscale.
