Consumer electronics and new technologies have been sectors with significant growth in our country in a matter of a few decades. Despite the fact that we still find small shadows such as the lack of fast and stable Internet connections in many rural areas, other data such as the fact that in Spain there are more mobile phones than inhabitants or that a large part of the expenses that we do in leisure and entertainment, they also go through the acquisition of terminals of all kinds, they show that we live in a highly connected society in which digitization has become a key.
That we spend long hours glued to the screens of our tablets and smartphones, is a fact that no one can deny. This has also resulted in the birth of a series of firms that, little by little, have gained weight worth mentioning in the local market. But how do we use all these devices? Next we tell you more about the technological habits in our country starting with a very striking fact. Of the approximately 45 million smart devices existing today, about 42 are equipped with Android, or what is the same, 93%.
Granada, capital of tapas ... and tablets
If a data center or consultancy asked you «In which city do you think the most used tablets? », What would your answer be? At first glance, we can think that large capitals are the leaders in the use of these devices and, although Madrid and Barcelona are the metropolises in which these terminals have a greater presence, in part, due to their population, reports like the one posted by TheAppDate which shows digital consumption habits in Spain, they tell us that Grenada It is the third city where this medium is used the most. And it seems that browsing through these platforms while having some tapas is not something so far-fetched.
Internet is still king
The visualization of content on the Internet or simply, the use of social networks are the protagonists both on tablets and smartphones. According to data provided by Ditrendia, 55% of the population Spaniards, which are approximately 23 million people, use the largest supports to go around Internet. The figure, at first glance, may not seem very high, but it is high if we take into account that in 2010, only 7% had this habit.
Where do we use them the most?
Our bed is one of the places where we are most comfortable when it comes to enjoying our free time. This also has its translation in the tablet sector since approximately the 63% of users uses these models from their Bedrooms. In second position is the living room, which is the location chosen by half of the population to spend their leisure time in front of the screen. Another very striking fact is that the time of daily use is around the 2 hours.
As for apps, smartphones are the favorite option
Currently, applications that we find in the catalogs are aimed at all types of terminals. However, telephones are the destinations chosen to host them. Factors such as greater portability derived from smaller dimensions, or the fact that smartphones were originally a step ahead of their older brothers, result in each user has an average of 30 different tools on their mobiles compared to the 24 that we install in the tablets.
Social networks, games, and also ... shopping
The possibility of talking with people from all over the world and being aware of everything that happens in the areas that interest us most, have revolutionized the way we communicate and understand what is happening around us. Social networks have not only been reduced to a young audience but the majority of smartphone users, regardless of their age or place of origin, already have a profile on one of these platforms. However, this is not the only use we make of our tablets in Spain. We occupy the fifth position in the world in buy online through these supports. Electronics and fashion are the most demanded items and half of the public acquires products through them, of which, a 72% he does it weekly.
