Smartphone boom a 'rose with thorns'

Some Chinese netizens have even compared the handset obsession to smoking opium in order to raise alarm over the growing reliance on smartphones.

But hi-tech device consumers in China, home to the world's largest number of smartphone users, totaling 380 million at the end of 2012 according to Internet consultancy iResearch, are unlikely to give up its latest obsession.

Apps like the Twitter-like microblog Sina Weibo and instant messaging service WeChat are all seeking to engage their users on a deeper level.

The latest version of WeChat, for example, has introduced interactive games that allow users to compete against each other for top scores.

In one extreme case, a woman in Zhejiang Province played a WeChat game for so long that she hurt her thumb joint, according to local news reports.

Meanwhile, the Chinese government hopes to tap the handset boom and IT-related consumption in an effort to steer the world's second-largest economy toward a more consumption-driven growth model.

At an electronic mall in Jinan, Hou Min was looking for a new smartphone to replace her older model. As she walked down an aisle, dozens of smartphone vendors jostled for her attention.

"This will be my second smartphone and these gadgets are becoming increasingly convenient to use," Hou said.

Recent research by media investment management firm GroupM shows 66 percent of those interviewed in China have broken up with significant others over the phone, 91 percent prefer to check the time on their phones instead of a watch, and 73 percent have used their phones to scan matrix barcodes.

The research also finds that a whopping 95 percent of respondents said they spend an hour on average with their smartphones before going to sleep.

Xu Xiaonan, a mobile app developer in Beijing, said the reliance on smartphones shows the growing need for services provided by popular mobile apps.

Xu cited Micro Love, an app he helped develop, as an example. The application offers messaging solutions for couples separated by distance.

"Smartphones shouldn't be made the scapegoat for the problems we have," Xu said. "Users should exercise self-restraint and use their phones wisely."
