        abstract = {Mobile phones serve as critical repositories of human behaviour, communication patterns, and digital traces of criminal activity. The increasing reliance on smartphones has positioned mobile forensics as a pivotal discipline in modern investigations. Oxygen Forensic Detective (OFD) represents a next-generation forensic platform, enabling comprehensive extraction, decryption, and analysis of data from mobile devices, cloud ecosystems, IoT platforms, and encrypted applications. This paper provides a narrative review of the evolution of mobile forensics, detailing the technical capabilities of OFD and its strategic application in criminologically informed investigations. Drawing on secondary data, expert reports, and illustrative case studies, the study demonstrates how OFD facilitates multi-layered analysis, reconstructs offender behaviour, and enhances the reliability and evidentiary value of digital artefacts in legal proceedings. The findings highlight that beyond simplifying data acquisition, OFD integrates behavioural, cloud, and AI-driven analytics, reinforcing the role of mobile forensics in evidence-based policing, intelligence-led investigations, and contemporary law enforcement systems.},
