Many of the attributes of today’s feature-rich handsets simply go unused. But when usage is examined across various age groups, even the most advanced features have some level of measurable usage.

This Research Brief is based on a survey of 1,015 mobile phone users in the United States that asked how often specific features are used on their phones.
