Apple founder Steve Jobs thought 3,5 optimum inch diagonal screen smartphone, and that such a display was first iPhone, released in 2007 year. But now other times, a fashion device much more, and even Apple has long moved away from it imposed the same standard. What are the consumers current selected, undertook to clarify analyst firm Strategy Analytics.
According to the poll, conducted in the US and UK, the majority of respondents believe in perfect diagonal 5,3 inch, and 5-inch and 5.5-inch models took second and third places respectively. At the same time, Americans increasingly Europeans tend to buy large vehicles, and PHABLET most interested holders of Android-devices. In Strategy Analytics noted, that similar results were obtained by them in the second half 2014 year, and hence the market has stabilized and a new radical revision of values in this regard in the near future is not expected.
remarkable, that more than half of respondents called the best one diagonal, which is a little more, than smartphone, which they have now. But the thickness of the gadget for consumers, as revealed, plays a special role. Moreover, many are willing to put up with a thicker body, if this is due to increased battery capacity, and the machine can work longer without recharging.
Similar studies were conducted before, and not only by Strategy Analytics. Example, a similar survey at the beginning 2014 was organized resource PhoneArena. Referring to the results, we can see, even then smartphones with screens less than four inches were considered poor, and the most popular were diagonally from 4,5 5″. And just three years earlier devices with a diagonal screen inches gained 3.5-4 35 % votes.
here, true, should mention, that it is not a real share of a market for diagonally, and preferences of users, who can buy the device with the above parameters in the future. An indirect confirmation of this is held in late November this year, DeviceAtlas study based on the use of Internet traffic in the US, Japan, Australia, India, Nigeria and the five largest European countries. Then became the undisputed leader of 4.7-inch smartphone.
