My smartphone is an i-phone 5. It is black and white.
The storage capacity is of 32gb. It is small and light. The screen has a good resolution. I like it because it is small. I use it to listen to music, to write text messages or to take photos.

Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes is tall and slim. He does boxing and fencing and he plays the violin. He is very good at science and at observing small details. He is also extremely clever !
Sherlock Holmes lives at 221 B Baker Street, in London. He spends days there thinking about his cases, sitting in his favourite armchair.
His flat is a little messy ! There are papers and books everywhere. He smokes a pipe and he often forgets to eat when he's working on an important case !
Dr John Watson
Dr Watson is tall and he has a moustache. He is courageous, strong and brave and he always wants to help his friend Holmes with his investigations. He's an excellent doctor. He is the narrator of Holmes's adventures and he is always very impressed by his friend's reasoning capacities !
