Smartphones: Battery almost empty? Some mobile phone users ditch their appointments
Mobile phones are no longer unthinkable in everyday life. But what if their battery is almost empty? Power banks would be a solution on the go. Nevertheless, many users get extremely nervous, as a survey shows.
A survey conducted by Civey for Vodafone found that 7% of respondents have cancelled plans due to a low smartphone battery. The survey of 2500 adults in early October showed that younger people are more reliant on their smartphones, with 31% of 18-29 year olds and 10% of 30-39 year olds admitting to cancelling plans due to a low battery.
The survey also found that 23% of respondents become anxious when their battery falls below 20%, while 26% said a low battery doesn't cause them concern. Vodafone Germany CEO Marcel de Groot said the results highlight the importance of smartphones in everyday life, with many people using them to organise their daily routines.
