Android smartphone usage & plans by socioeconomic groups

Android smartphones continue to predominate as products for lower and moderate socioeconomic groups, both active users as well as those aspiring to have newer Androids.

However, two upper socioeconomic groups have higher penetration rates than five years earlier.

Shift in employee device hours and devices

Since the start of the pandemic, employees have needed to make tremendous changes.

A growing number of employees lost access to an employer-provided computer. Many turned to using home computers for work, while yet others turned more often to their smartphones. Despite the challenges and changes, employees worldwide have managed to use their collection of devices for as many total hours while simultaneously using fewer devices.
