Almost half of the phones in Belgium lwa are sold is a smartphone. That says a provider Mobistar. Three years ago, was still not one in ten sold phones to a smartphone. The increase is probably due to price reductions.
Meanwhile cheap smart phones in the loose sale available for 60 to 90 euros, where such devices three years back didn’t exist. Also the number of devices in the price range above it, the midrange smartphones, has in three years increased sharply. That leads in Belgium to more sales of smartphones, because providers are not subsidies on devices and phones so often los can be purchased. Many customers are not willing to blow 500 euros on the table for a high-end smartphone.
The percentage of sold smartphones rose in the last three years, and from 7 to 44 percent, says Mobistar, a verzesvoudiging of the sell. In the Netherlands, is at the same time, a strong increase is visible, but not so great. The share of smartphones in the telefoonverkopen in the Netherlands is now around 55 percent. There are not often sales to the outside; research company Gfk collects that, but customers should they suffer from Gfk often to keep that a secret.
Mobistar let on how much web also make use of mobile internet. Between 2007 and 2010, the flat-structure of providers in the Netherlands, unlimited mobile internet for a tenner a month, a lot of people to the mobile internet with their subscription. That was in Belgium, not the case. Moreover, because the development of 3g in Belgium behind; it took a lot longer before 3g is available everywhere and not all networks nationwide.
