What percent of users will be smartphone addicts by 2020?

Settlement proposals

Please check if any final result proposed here has really happened. Is there a reliable source for this information? Is the proposed cut-off date before the time when the final result became certain beyond reasonable doubt? Did the trader proposing the final result refrain from cheating with quick last trades? If these checks are positive, please vote "Yes" for settlement else "No".

§ Judgement rule

This question will be judged by the percent of worldwide smartphone users in 2020 who check their phone more than 50 times a day, as reported by a leading consumer trends report.

Reference date: Dec. 31, 2020, 24:00 CET

  You are right. I could not edit, so proposed it again, with the year-end cut-off date.

A recent study, looked at smartphone use among students found almost 40% of them qualified as addicted to smartphones. The same article also says the global range is 30-45%. "More than 25%" is therefore the correct answer. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/02/health/smartph… ...more

  Hi Jentri,
  Users are free to dispute proposed results and anybody can propose a more accurate result. That is why the results are voted on. However, we see 2 problems with your source:
  1. Your source is dated Feb. 11, 2020, which is before the reference date.
  2. The results of this survey are self-reported, and thus not very objective, as people often put themselves in a better light.
  But by all means, you are free to propose that result.
