# Smartphones: Earthquakes’ New Early Warning System?
The AEA system shows that smartphones are effective in detecting earthquakes
In a world increasingly connected, our smartphones are becoming more than just communication devices; they are evolving into sophisticated sensors. The Android system, leveraging the accelerometer and gyroscope in your phone, is now capable of detecting seismic activity, offering a crucial early warning for earthquakes. This innovative approach, known as the Advanced Earthquake Alert (AEA) system, has demonstrated its effectiveness in providing valuable seconds of warning before seismic waves reach us.
“In a relevant part of the cases, especially the further from the origin of the earthquake, the alert to the phone
