Mobile phones are not what they used to be. Things have changed a lot since, a few years ago, the first terminals with extra-large dimensions and limited possibilities appeared. Then came color screens, polytons and the first integrated cameras. Now mobile phone companies are struggling to get bigger touch screen and bright, the camera with more megapixels in its favor and the ability to connect more and faster access to broadband Internet. It is clear that things have changed. And with technology, how consumers use their new mobile phones.
Logic says so and also the latest study from the Pew Internet consultancy. We refer to the Pew Mobile Access Survey, the same one that shows that consumers use their mobile phone for many other things, besides calling.
With the arrival of new smartphones or smart phones, the use of the mobile phone has become very diversified. Thus users increasingly make more pictures. This is demonstrated by the study, which contrasts the use of telephones between the months of April 2009 and May of 2010. 76% of those surveyed take pictures with their mobile, an activity that 66% were already doing in April, this being the more popular. The second action carried out by users has to do with sending and receiving text messages, an activity carried out by 72% of those consulted, followed by Internet access. In this sense, the factaccessing the Net still has few acolytes. Only 38% of users browse regularly.
The study of this 2010 tells us that 34% of the owners of a mobile phone access the games on their terminal and obtain video recordings in the same percentage. The least performed activities are music reproduction (33%) and sending and receiving instant messages (30%). But there is something that draws our attention even more. The fact that in the study there is no data about the percentage of users who also use their mobile phone to call. Something is changing… and will change, no doubt, even more.
