According to Counterpointβs Market Pulse, #Apple regained the top spot in the global best selling #smartphone list with the #iPhone 8.

ββπ· How the Camera Industry was Hit by Smartphones
Over the past few years, #smartphone cameras have improved significantly. So much so in fact, that many people no longer see the need to carry or buy a dedicated camera. While professionals and photo enthusiasts will always get better results using high-end cameras and lenses, modern #smartphones take pictures that are easily sufficient for the demands of the average consumer.
To the camera and photo equipment industry, the rise of smartphone photography has had devastating effects. According to CIPA, a Japan-based industry group with members such as #Olympus, #Canon and #Nikon, worldwide camera shipments dropped nearly 80 percent between 2010 and 2017.

ββπ± Your Phone's Radiation
For most people nowadays, their #smartphone is within arm's reach 24 hours a day. It's in their pocket while they're at work, it's in their hand on the train ride home and it's on their bedside table as they go to sleep. With this level of proximity and usage, many can't quite shake the niggling feeling that they might be risking damage to themselves in the long run. While conclusive longitudinal research on the effects of cell phone radiation is still hard to come by, for those looking to hedge their bets, this infographic shows the phones that emit the most radiation when held to the ear while calling.
The German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (Bundesamt fΓΌr Strahlenschutz) has a comprehensive database of #smartphones - new and old - and the level of radiation they emit. Following the criteria set for this chart (see footnotes), the current smartphone creating the highest level of radiation is the Mi A1 from Chinese vendor Xiaomi. In fact, the top list is dominated by handsets made by Chinese companies, with #Xiaomi, #OnePlus, #Huawei and #ZTE accounting for 12 of the 15 phones with the largest values. It must be said though, that premium #Apple phones such as the #iPhone 7 and the recently released iPhone 8 are also here to be seen.

π± Smartphone Dominance
Following up on the poll above, although not producing the same results, here are some interesting stats from Pew Research Centre: #Smartphone users are now more likely to go online using their mobile phone than with some other type of device.
For smartphone owners, their mobile devices now outpace more traditional means of accessing the web. 46% of them say when using the internet, they mostly do so on their phone. This represents a 12% increase from 2013 when 34% of these users said this.
At the same time, the share of smartphone users who say a desktop, laptop or tablet computer is their primary device for going online has fallen from 53% in 2013 to 30% today. Roughly a quarter of smartphone users say they equally use a cellphone or a desktop, laptop or tablet computer when going online, up from 12% six years prior.

π The Smartphones With the Longest-Lasting Batteries
Every #smartphone users know the dilemma: It doesnβt matter how great your latest-generation smartphone is or which cutting-edge features it contains - the device still runs on old-fashioned electricity it draws from its battery, often the weakest part of the phone. With the number of apps people use and time they spend on their smartphone increasing, battery woes are all too common - the prevalence of powerbanks and charging stations popping up in different places certainly tell that story.
