Consumers ranked battery life and camera quality as the next important features while physical appearance of the smartphone ranked lowest in the survey.
These consumers use smartphones for more than 20 hours a week, and are heavy users of streaming services and gaming, the report said.
“They are putting audio quality on priority for the neo normal, from a communication and content consumption point of view,” the report stated.
More than 90% consumers use the smartphone’s audio for listening to music on popular audio OTT platforms and for viewing videos on social media.
The survey highlighted that these users expect audio to be an immersive experience while less heavy users consider voice and dialogue quality as top priority.
