Prices of today’s mobile phones range from free to hundreds of dollars, and the types of features mobile subscribers expect to find in a phone usually have a direct relation to its price. This Research Brief is based on a multinational survey of 1,404 mobile phone users (601 in Western Europe; 201 in the United States; 602 in Asia Pacific), and asks respondents how much they plan to spend on their next mobile phone and what hardware attributes and software features they can reasonably expect to find in a phone at that price point.
