On the hardware side, mobile devices are built with a system on a chip (SoC) that includes a processor (CPU) and various other fundamental components, around which are found various integrated circuits, memory (RAM), storage, user input/output (I/O), etc.
When the device is telephony-enabled, it also features a modem, which is the component in charge of dealing with the mobile telephony network.
- Nowadays, it is usually a powerful processor, sometimes with its own memory and storage.
+ This component embeds a powerful processor that runs an operating system, along with dedicated volatile memory. Its storage can be dedicated or shared with the main processor.

Regarding the software side of things on mobile devices, the main CPU (inside the SoC) starts by executing initial boot code, often known as the bootrom.
