Analysis Smartphones provide more different types of function than the old

phones and more. More people will consider about the functions so function is a factor that they will think of before they buy a smartphone. The price is another main factor that people will consider more because the smartphones are more expensive than the old phones.

There are more and more brands which will product the smartphones. In our survey result, there are half of people will choose SAMSUNG.APPLE and HTC are also the popular brands that people will choose. Only a few people will choose the other brands, for example, NOKIA. We guess there may be more different function in these three brands.

By the result, we know there are both 37% of people will spend 1-2hours and 2-3hours every day in using the apps in their phones. It is easy to understand because there are many different entertaining apps in smartphones. There are over 50% people choose listening music for their favourite entertaining function so they may spend most of time on listening music. They will also spend time on playing games and taking videos.
