Galapagos Smartphones vs Global Smartphones
This morning I found this in my RSS feed. 736 Japanese smartphone users were questioned over their feelings about their smartphone. (Galapagos smartphone is one that has been designed for the Japanese market). The survey didn’t break down the results by phone, just by global vs galapagos. 63.3% had a global phone and 36.7% had a galapagos version. 
So without knowing what OS the phones were running it is all pretty much speculative and guess work. To my knowledge the only OS used on galapagos smartphones is Android. Leaving global smartphones a mix of iOS and Android.
What struck me was the percent of users who regretted, either, “to some extent” or “very much so” buying their phones.
The results were quite different.
Global smartphone buyers were not only less regretful but a majority were happy with their phones.
Galapagos buyers on the other hand were clearly having some issues. 
As you can see satisfaction here waned considerably.
So the question is what number of iOS vs Android phones were there? It is purely guess work, but my intuition would suggest that global smartphone satisfaction was better because iOS phones heavily influenced the results.
I would love to see the breakdown of iOS vs Android in Q1SQ4.
