Introduction
Yourfones.net is a unique website that allows you to compare almost all smartphones and tablets across carriers by virtually arranging their silhouettes on a table in actual size.
When smartphones first appeared, it was natural to go to stores like Docomo or electronics retailers to see, touch, and confirm the size before purchasing. However, with the launch of yourfones.net in 2016, it became possible to confirm the size online without going to a physical store, which has been very well received.
Therefore, we are releasing the 2024 edition of the "Smartphone White Paper by yourfones" using the data accumulated over the years.
The Background of Releasing "Smartphone White Paper by yourfones"
Nowadays, the internet is overflowing with information about smartphones and tablets. Much of this content is based on explanations from manufacturers or subjective reviews by individuals, providing useful information at the time of purchase, but most of it focuses on individual smartphones released at that time.
However, considering the future development of the entire smartphone industry, yourfones.net believes that this information alone is fragmented and insufficient. It is necessary to have a comprehensive overview of smartphones and tablets based on data, and we believe yourfones.net is in a position to offer some assistance in this regard. Therefore, we have prepared the first edition of data to help think about the smartphone industry calmly and objectively.
This is the "Smartphone White Paper 2024 by yourfones".
We take pride in the unique information provided by yourfones.net. As intended on the yourfones website, we aim to present information as graphically as possible in the Smartphone White Paper, stimulating creativity and encouraging intuitive ideas.
For example, the silhouettes of all smartphones from 2023 to 2024 arranged together are truly impressive. They are categorized by carrier—Docomo, au, SoftBank, Rakuten Mobile, and SIM-free. By comparing and viewing the various carriers, you may notice overlooked areas such as the development of new models that were previously unexplored or the selection of genres that hadn't been covered, sparking new ideas that haven't occurred before.
Additionally, we report the distribution of various indicators (manufacturer, smartphone size, weight, Antutu, battery capacity) with bar graphs. By comparing with the previous year's data, you can grasp trends in specifications. You can also glimpse the strengths, characteristics, and strategies of smartphone manufacturers and carriers.
Lastly, we provide a simple access ranking of the yourfones.net list pages, allowing you to understand user interest levels.
This is our first release, so we hope to continue receiving your feedback to provide even better statistical data.
We hope this will be useful to all those interested in the future development of the smartphone industry, whether you are a company or an individual.
