WHAT TYPE OF USER ARE YOU?
Smartphone technology has become so successful that businesses and their employees have trouble imagining a day without them.
Besides making phone calls, almost all smartphones today can:
- provide directions through GPS (Global Positioning System),
- take pictures,
- play music and
- keep track of appointments and contacts.
The list of possible smartphone uses multiplies by tens of thousands and grows bigger everyday through the installation of apps (applications).
Although the uses of smartphone are endless, we can classify the uses in terms of users and their wants into:
The Browsers
The Browsers are basically the users who normally use their smarphones to browse (surf) the web for information. They only want information on the go.
The Browsers are normally not worried about screen but the speed of the network and the rate at which the smartphone can bring the info they are looking for.
The Browsers will look at the internet speed of networks first and RAM. They will only download apps relevant enough to provide information for them.
The Social Media Fanatics
We call them the Social Media Fanatics because they basically 'live' mostly every single bit of their lives on the social media chatting with friends, colleagues and loved ones.
It can even take the whole day for them.
The Social Media Fanatics can hardly stay away from their smartphone for a continuous period of 20mins.
They always have the impulse of receiving a message on social media or feeling to read some info.
The Social Media Fanatics are more interested in newtork connectivity, screen size, RAM, social media app type and battery capacity.
The Application Lovers
The Application are basically those group of users interested in any app they hear of. They want to try the app and see how it works.
Their smartphones can have over 300 installed apps.

The Gamers as per their name, are the game lovers and players.
