The rapid pace of i9500 S4 1:1 smartphone uptake has been phenomenal-priceangels.com
The charger is located in the coat’s breast pocket, and is compatible with the iPhone 4 and 5s, and the Samsung GALAXY S 3 and the i9500 S4 1:1. The charging, then, is completed by putting the smartphone in the pocket and sliding it into the charger. The smartphone can be charged up to three times before the coat needs to be recharged, something accomplished by hanging it up on a wireless charger.
The latest edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report noted that the total number of smartphone subscriptions will reach 1.9 billion by the end of this year. Mobile subscriptions could reach 9.3 billion by 2018, with 5.6 billion of these being for smartphones – nearly triple that of today.By 2019 nearly 90 percent of the world’s population will be covered by WCDMA/HSPA while 65 percent will be covered by LTE. Currently, smartphones represent just 25-30 percent of all mobile phone subscriptions, but as Ericsson noted these accounted for the majority – 55 percent – of mobile phones sold in the third quarter of 2013.
Now? All those functions – the £100 functionality of a satnav, the £500 functionality of a video camera – have been rolled into, swallowed by,smartphones. A few years ago Vic Keegan, my predecessor, began trying to count the number of functions that mobile phones (what we'd now call featurephones) had begun taking onboard. There was the alarm clock, timer, world clock, address book, music player; quite soon the camera joined in. Then video came in too – blocky at first, but increasingly good.vc54DV3x
But the arrival in force of the smartphone has accelerated everything. The smartphones available now are general-purpose computers, at least to the extent that developers can think of what to write for them. Satnav functions? Built in to all the major smartphone platforms now. Camera and video function? That's absolutely assumed, and while manycheap cell phones can't compete directly with a top-end digital SLR, Nokia has set the benchmark until some time in 2015 with the 41-megapixel camera in its Lumia 1020 . But that's just how it is. Sales of digital cameras, camcorders, and satnavs are heading the same way as those of analogue cameras and film. Ask Kodak how that ended.
By the end of the decade a lot more people will be connecting through smartphones, with as much as two-thirds of the world’s population covered by LTE, or fourth generation mobile networks. This will come as the number of smartphone users triple by 2019, while the amount of smartphone traffic is projected to increase by a factor of 10.This is according to the latest industry forecast from telecom vendor Ericsson, which reported that 2013 has already seen robust sales of smartphones. Vendors shipped a total of 258.4 million smartphones, setting a new record for units shipped in a single quarter. IDC states that this was a 20 million unit increase, as reported byPCWorld.
“The rapid pace of smartphone uptake has been phenomenal and is set to continue,” Douglas Gilstrap, senior vice president and head of strategy at Ericsson, said in a statement. “It took more than five years to reach the first billion smartphone subscriptions, but it will take less than two to hit the 2 billion mark. Between now and 2019, smartphone subscriptions will triple.”
“Interestingly, this trend will be driven by uptake in China and other emerging markets as lower-priced S4 1:1 MTK6589 smartphone models become available,” Gilstrap added.Last week research firm IHS iSuppli reported that this year’s combined smartphone and tablet factory revenue will exceed the rest of the entire consumer electronics market, as worldwide original equipment manufacturer (OEM) factory revenue for media and PC tablets along with 3G/4G mobile handsets will amount to $354.3 billion for 2013. This is three percent more than the $344.4 billion for OEM factory revenue for the consumer electronics (CE) market.
