Surge in smartphone usage likely during Ramadan

During Ramadan there is a major surge in usage of smart phones as people rely heavily on their smartphone for entertainment, online shopping as well as Ramadan-related apps. Over 70 percent of people in the Middle East use smartphones, Facebook MENA research has revealed.
Fifty-nine percent of Internet users in the Middle East watch videos online each month.
They are going online and using their mobile devices more than ever and more and more Muslims are turning to digital apps and gadgets to get help for prayers and fasting.
Amid great demand for smartphones during this month, Huawei has offered the Honor 8 Lite model, which comes with an inbuilt battery with a capacity of 3000mAh (typical value) and an energy density of 650WHL for an extended battery life.
With family gatherings, office iftars and suhoors with friends, there is an inherently social aspect to the holy month.
Ramadan is one of the most active times of the year for social media in the Middle East as Muslims reach out to friends and family, prepare for the holy month, and celebrate in the run-up to Eid.
In addition, taking photos of Ramadan meals and gatherings will be an enjoyable task with great results.
The device’s different picture modes including the “good food” mode might help preserve the memories of the holy month, which offers mouthwatering dishes at iftar and suhoor.
With the 8MP front camera with 77-degree wide-angle lens, the Honor 8 Lite enables the user to take pictures on the go. The 12MP rear camera with 1.25μm pixels and Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF) gives a quicker (focus speeds of just 0.3 seconds) and precise all-round shooting experience.
