The latest from ‘Opinion Square’ is a set of ten games for smart phones which caters to the need of the gadget-savvy generation of today. This new set of games on smart phone is designed to explore the mindset of the consumers and their preferences regarding the smart phones they buy and use.
Foreseegame.com which received an overwhelming response to this new set of opinion-based games, prepared a survey report in association with Microsec Research based on these results. Microsec Research is the research wing of Microsec Capital having experienced analysts across sectors.
17,000 users of www.foreseegame.com participated in this survey, who were registered only on the basis of unique mobile numbers. The participation was monitored by Google.
The report brings out a number of interesting facts about the growing smart phone market like consumers’ preference for touch screen phones, high-tech features, operating system and social networking on the go.
The report states that majority of the buyers consider the operating system while buying a phone. Interestingly, Android holds the lion’s share amongst the most preferred operating systems. Blackberry and Windows, with almost equal fondness, are contesting for the distant second position.
Touch screen rules the market while touch and type is the second preference. Sole keypad usage is fading away. Buying trend shows that most of the people like to buy a smart phone either with E.M.I without interest or one-time payment.
Communication on the go is the best utility of smart phones and getting in touch via messengers such as WhatsApp and BBM wins the race. Respondents showed hesitance in using mobile banking due to data security issues and uneasiness of operating.
Consumers today look for innovation related to battery like long lasting battery, wireless charger, solar power chargeable battery and link to home care management like integrated remote control for TV, A.C., home robot and car key.
The report also states that even with the multiple features attached with mobile phone, it fails to replace the utility of a watch, which is still used to check time.
The report has got the pulse of Indian consumers in relation to the fast growing smart phone market.
