Difference between mobile phone service manuals and schematics diagrams

Before going to start difference in mobile phone schematic diagram and service manual you should know about schematics and service manuals.

Schematic diagrams

Schematic diagrams are our map to design and troubleshoot electronics circuits. Understanding how to read a mobile phone schematic diagram is most important thing for any cellphone technician.
A schematic, or mobile phone schematic diagram, is a representation of the elements of a system using graphic symbols rather than real pictures. A schematic usually not include all details that are not relevant to the information the schematic is intended to convey, and may add unrealistic elements that help to understand.
