Who invented the smartphone?

In the past, the phone was precisely defined as a telecommunications device. Used to transmit human communication information over very long distances. Today, the phone is not just a simple calling device. It is integrated with many different functions with a compact, smart size, so the original definition is incomplete. However, not everyone knows who invented the smartphone.

History of the telephone

In 1860, a German teacher - Philippe Reiss made a machine that could transmit sounds using electricity. Although he tried hard to sell his device, he failed. The reason was that the machine was not very useful and it was difficult to convey speech directly.

By 1875, Alexander Graham Bell and Eliza Gray in the United States had completed models of sound transmission machines. On February 14, 1876, they both filed patents for their telephones. However, it was not until June 1876 that the first working telephone was seen at the Philadelphia Fair.

Alexander Graham Bell was the first person to patent the telephone.

Since 1877, Alexander Graham Bell founded the Bell Telephone Company and introduced the telephone to the United States. In the same year 1877, Union Telegraph asked Thomas A. Edison to make another telephone to compete with the Bell Company. Edison began researching to create a transmitter with a more sensitive variable resistance than Bell's, becoming the first microphone made of graphite.

The telephone race between the two sides was not over yet when just a few weeks later, Bell continued to introduce the Hand Telephone. In late 1877, Frédérick Gowe improved Bell's machine and his system was installed in Paris in 1879. This is considered the first telephone center in France.

Who is the "father" who invented the smartphone?

As mentioned above, Alexander Graham Bell and Eliza Gray both invented the telephone, but history only recognized Alexander Graham Bell as the inventor with patent number 74465 dated March 7, 1876 after a legal dispute.

However, there are some sources of information and data that indicate that the prototype of the telephone was developed earlier. They dispute that Alexander Graham Bell was the father of the telephone. They believe that Antonio Meucci was the one who invented the telephone.

Many people believe that Antonio Meucci is the father of the mobile phone.

In 1860, he discussed this invention with Alexander Graham Bell and made the first call to his wife by telephone. However, at that time he did not have enough money to register the copyright so it was not recognized. The invention came to Alexander Graham Bell and he was the one who registered the copyright for the telephone.

There are many hypotheses here, they think that it is very possible that both people had the same idea about inventing the phone. It is also possible that it is not a coincidence. However, all is just a judgment. Until now, the question of who is the real father of the phone is still very much uncertain.
