Description

The hand terminal from the sci fi show The Expanse is a device that is similar to a smartphone, but with significant differences. It is a handheld computer with a holographic display and voice-controlled user interface. It has the same functions as a regular smartphone, but it can also be used to control and monitor larger computer networks. It has a long-range communication system, as well as greater processing power and storage capacity than a standard smartphone.

The hand terminal is different from a cell phone in several ways. First, it is connected to a larger network, which allows it to access more information than a standard phone. Second, its holographic display gives it a more immersive feel, allowing users to interact with the device more intuitively. Finally, its voice controls give users the ability to control the device with their voice instead of needing to use a touchscreen or other input method.
