US & UK Mobile Device Satisfaction 93,825 US mobile users & 52,140 UK mobile users
February 2013
This is one of the largest studies of device satisfaction,
measuring 320,000 mobile and tablet users across the US, UK, France, Germany, Japan and Indonesia.
The following slides contain data from 93,825 US and
52,140 UK mobile users, who were asked how satisfied they are with their mobile on a 10 point scale. A follow up device purchasing and usage study of 1,812 US mobile users was also carried out. All questions were asked through a survey users had taken via the mobile Internet, where their mobile device is automatically identified.

Summary
• Despite Apple’s success, some Android devices are now commanding higher levels of user satisfaction, with the much anticipated iPhone 5 only ranking fifth in device satisfaction in a study of 93,825 US mobile users, behind four Android powered devices.
• In fact US mobile users reported a higher satisfaction with their Motorola’s Atrix device (8.57), an Android powered device at a far lower price point, than Apple iPhone 5 users (8.23).
The 4G effect
• 4G is having an impact on device satisfaction - the top 5 devices for satisfaction in the US are 4G capable devices, and users with a 4G subscription reported a higher device satisfaction (7.76) than those with no 4G subscription (7.28).
• Device satisfaction also impacts how satisfied users are with their mobile network operator, with 4G subscribers more positive towards their mobile operator, than non 4G subscribers. It’s a great opportunity for network operators not only to increase satisfaction, but also revenue and loyalty.
UK
• In contrast, in the UK where there is only one 4G network operator EE, the iPhone 5 is under less pressure from competitive devices, ranking second in user satisfaction.
• However in the study of 52,140 UK mobile users, the HTC One X did score higher (8.47) than Apple’s iPhone 5 (8.21).
