Yes, all phones that use Google's Android operating system are smartphones. But not all smartphones are Androids... the 4 categories of smartphones are: 1. Android - using Google's Android OS 2. iPhone - using Apple's iOS 3. Windows Phones - using Microsoft's Mobile Windows OS 4. Blackberry - using Blackberry's own proprietary OS
They are all quite amazing smartphones, but at this point Androids are the most advanced and easy to use.
