In forma said that 52 % of cell mobile phones will be price below $150, underscoring demand for the gadgets from the growing markets.
That represents a extraordinary move in the smart phone industry now, which is covered with super-smartphones costing $200 or greater. The Universe S III and iPhone 5 start at $200, but gadgets such as the Android Razr Maxx HD retail for $300, and the iPhone 5 quickly gets worse when adding in more storage space. Last season, costly cell mobile phones, costing $250 or above, made up 83 % of the industry, according to Informa. That discuss could drop to 33 % by 2017.
"As the industry produces, the supply sequence will progressively be separated between two summer campement - the creators who will continue to present new functions and high-performance elements to the industry and supporters who will take this advancement to the store bought in later years," said Informa specialist Malik Saadi.
The move isn't great news for device producers who are used to creating high-end gadgets that produce significant returns. Many have already reduced their products to just a few better quality products a season, even as they battle to maintain business in a business progressively covered with Apple and New Samsung Gadgets. The company considers many will battle to evolve to the new industry characteristics.
