The phenomenon is most evident in Asia and Africa – which together account for three-quarters of the global growth in smartphone use this year. As smartphone subscriptions increase from 2.9 billion to 7.7 billion worldwide in the next five years, 80% of the new accounts are expected to be opened by users on these two continents.
亚洲和非洲的事实最能说明问题。今年，亚非两洲加起来贡献了全球智能手机增长的四分之三。在未来五年，智能手机用户将从29亿增加到77亿，其中80%的新用户预计将来自亚非两洲。
