Smartphones in Spain, their presence grows but they are still represented only 2 out of 10 mobiles

The smartphones or smart phones are popular for the attractiveness of its technology, but have not yet invaded the Spanish market as much as one might think. This is confirmed by a new study carried out by the publication Qdiario and the consulting firm Empirica Influentials & Research, in which it appears that the presence of these devices in the number of telephones in Spain has grown significantly by one percent since the last barometer (carried out at the close of the third quarter of 2010), standing at 20 percent of the total number of mobile telephony in our country.

With this, the distribution of devices is strengthened, establishing itself in two out of every ten mobiles sold on national soil. However, data from the new research would confirm the confidence of future owners of smartphones in our country, since acceptance of these devices could grow in the coming months between 39 and 50 percent to the entry into the second half of 2011, depending on certain factors (mainly focused on the price, still very high for the average user, as well as the costs associated with these terminals, such as the need to hire solutions for data traffic).

On the other hand, the latest study carried out in this field would also dissect the opinion of users about this technology. Among other conclusions, the survey would have shown that the design of the device would be completely surpassed by other aspects, such as the functions of the device or the customization options, within the preferences that the user would put on the table when choosing a mobile.

We could also learn through interviews of this study that users of smartphones are interested in features such as GPS, the e - mail or access to social networks when it comes to assessing the applications of the mobile. In addition, in the hardware section, the camera would be the most valued feature.

Paradoxically, when asked about the most repeated uses of smartphones by users, the study reveals that, in order of frequency, these would be sending SMS, Wi-Fi access and the use of mobile Internet options.
