According to a study, 1 in 10 Americans has spent more than $1,000 on their latest mobile

The world of smartphones is subject to various studies that seek to know the interests of users, among many other things.

Now a new report has revealed that 1 in 10 Americans has spent more than $ 1,000 on their latest mobile.

A new study by the tracking firm NPD Group has revealed that "slightly less" than 10% of American consumers spend more than $ 1,000 on a mobile phone. In addition, the report has also pointed out that consumers in New York City and Los Angeles are more likely to buy a device at that price.

The reason why specifically in these cities people are more likely to buy a Premium smartphone is not known, nor if they have purchased it in prepaid or by contract, but something that does make clear the investigation is that consumers are clinging to their smartphones for longer periods and this represents a challenge for the smartphone market.

The world of smartphones has been shaken by the commercial war that the United States and China are contesting, and that is affecting companies such as Huawei, which could suffer a drop in sales of up to 60 million mobiles because of the Trump veto .

North America continues to be the largest market for smartphones over $ 1000, occupying 30% of the total. For its part, China follows closely with 26%, although it must be taken into account that sales were reduced since the market in that country was slow during the first quarter and due to the global slowdown.

Samsung remains the second best-selling brand worldwide, and the company is benefiting from Apple and Huawei struggles. The report reflects that a quarter of the premium smartphones sold in the first quarter worldwide were the Galaxy, with the S10 family in the lead.

Manufacturers expect 5G to help revitalize the update cycle of a smartphone, but prices could present another obstacle.

However, the price of 5G smartphones in the country may not be a major obstacle, as some manufacturers, such as Nokia, have plans to launch phones with such network technology at half the price of a current 5G smartphone.

In this way, the arrival of 5G should not influence prices or the expense of US users when purchasing a smartphone with such network technology, since in the market they will find several models from different manufacturers for prices below One thousand dollars.
