Every other Saudi, Australian or German citizen would spend over $400 for a new phone.

          Sorry, but i didn't understand this:
          "The most popular activities on a smartphone are browsing the internet with 64% of all respondents, followed by gaming (62%), making voice calls (55%) and messaging (54%), without mentioning any particular message service, meaning it should include regular SMS, iMessage, Facebook Messenger, etc."

          Why 64%, 62%, 55%, 54%. Relatively of which parameter are the count it? Or why the sum isn't 100?

Its the thing separate you from other. Its not slow or fast. Its statement ("I have $$").

                  And, unlike in the US, in HK, second hand shop is everywhere, you can sell your old phone everywhere (offline). Or you can give to your kids, and sell your kid old phone.

                        But you should also accept the fact that some want to use phone to connect with friend/family while in car/bus/train/waiting.

                        Some might want to kill the boredom of doing nothing by connecting to others....

                        So, please... Just because you use your phone 1hour/day. Please don't judge us who use it more than 8hour/day

                            Not some 1 hour this, 1 hour that, 1 hour etc... 3 hour usage. The 3 hour usage time is even lower than the lowest (Japan).

                                In a place where even medium rich don't want to buy car (think HK), the money that contribute to luxury lifestyle goes to smartphone.

                                In Hong Kong, medium salary worker change the phone EVERY YEAR. Because that's what define them. I'm talking about high-end phone. Galaxy Note series, Galaxy S-series.

                                  think those commute by bus/train/car
                                  think food delivery by apps,
                                  think store owner (small store owner, like on the street), who use phone for accepting order.
                                  think kid waiting for doctor/dentist and playing phone (not computer)

                                    use bigger display where possible, use a tab/pad in home rather than a tiny 5" phone. note or plus are not needed, bring a tab/pad when possible.
                                    desktop mon should be placed at an appropriate distance. hands can touch the top 2 corners. PC is still the most effective. just most people don't know how to place it, use it.
