After the performance list, cost performance list and praise list, it is time for the second quarter of 2024 to the user preference list. In the second quarter, the wave of new phones in the first half of the year has just passed, and the statistical data of the preference list can show the trend of the current user's mobile phone configuration specifications to a certain extent, and understand the current development trend of smart phones from a macro perspective.

Compared with the list of various monthly changes, the quarterly preference list is a larger statistical data, the significance is to understand the current development of mobile phones, give a reference according to the data, and at the same time draw the recent trend of smart phones, although part of it is determined by upstream suppliers, but the biggest choice is still the user, and it can even be said that the user's preference determines the development of the mobile phone.

Screen size

It can be seen that 6.7 inches and 6.8 inches have become the two most favored screen specifications for mobile phone manufacturers, and the screens of most mobile phones on the market are also in this range.

On the one hand, it shows that for most consumers, "large screen" is still the main demand; On the other hand, it also shows that when most manufacturers choose a size, other manufacturers will switch to the same specifications as the mass production of parts of the corresponding specification increases.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that although the call for "small-screen mobile phones" has always been called, the proportion of mobile phones with screens of 6.4 inches and below is not much, which may also explain why manufacturers are reluctant to launch small-screen mobile phones - the user group is indeed too small.

Screen resolution

Although judging from the manufacturer's publicity, 1.5K seems to have become the absolute mainstream of mobile phone screen resolution, but statistics show that 1080P screen mobile phones still have a huge proportion.

That's not to say 1.5K isn't that "popular", though.

In fact, the 1.5K that was first mentioned in the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition in 2022 can be said to be a rather "young" resolution specification, which can achieve a 34.3% share in about two years of birth, which is enough to show the recognition of manufacturers and users.

Screen refresh rate

The popularity of high brushing is one of the main trends in the development of mobile phones in recent years, which also makes 120Hz undoubtedly the mainstream, accounting for as much as 57.8%.

In contrast, the proportion of 60Hz has dropped to 16.6%, not to mention this "60Hz", which may also include users who have not been forced to turn on the global high brush for reasons such as power saving.

And last year, it was still a niche representative144Hz, with the manufacturer's efforts in screen specifications, has replaced 60Hz, becoming the second largest choice of screen resolution.

Processor brand

Needless to say, in the second quarter of 2024, Qualcomm is still firmly at the top of the list of Android mobile phone processor brands, and with an exaggerated figure of 70.5%, it exceeds the combined proportion of all other processor brands.

Although the theoretical specifications of MediaTek's Dimensity 9300 and Dimensity 9300+ processors are not bad, and the actual performance can also play back and forth with Snapdragon 8 Gen3, the ingrained impression of "pulling the crotch" in the hearts of users still exists, resulting in only 24.2%.

Number of CPU cores

The number of CPU cores has stabilized at present, and the octa-core, as the most stable architecture design in theory, will be the absolute mainstream of the SoC market in the foreseeable future.

In fact, with Qualcomm and MediaTek widely adopting octa-core architectures in new low-to-mid-range processors, and older devices being phased out due to performance issues, the octa-core proportion will be infinitely close to 100%.

RAM/ROM

RAM and ROM are often mentioned together in both vendor announcements and user discussions, and we will also talk about them here.

In terms of RAM, 12GB and 16GB are available as the specifications of most mid-to-high-end machines now, and they are quite close in proportion, but the relatively cheap 12GB accounts for a slightly higher proportion.

8GB is quite rare at the moment, and 6GB is even more scarce, after all, these two RAM specifications are often stretched thin even when not playing games.

In terms of ROM, with the common application represented by a "small but beautiful" committed to covering all the functions that users may use, as well as the expansion of the volume of high-standard mobile games represented by "Genshin Impact", 256GB has gradually become the mainstream of mobile phone ROM selection, and the once mainstream 128GB only accounts for 11.8%.

It is worth mentioning that with the expansion of application size, the proportion of 512GB of ROM, which was once considered "big and unnecessary", has come to 30.2%, ranking second.

Even 1TB of ROM, which has long been considered a "niche choice", has grown to 6.8%.

It is foreseeable that if the volume of major applications continues to expand, the proportion of 512GB or even 1TB will continue to grow.

Android version

The situation on the Android side of the system is relatively simple, basically as long as Google carries out major version iterations, domestic manufacturers will follow up as soon as possible and update the models under maintenance.

Therefore, at present, the latest Android 14 accounts for 70.9%, becoming the absolute mainstream.

As for Android 13 and below, most of them come from phones that have been discontinued by the manufacturer.

Of course, there are also some manufacturers who do not upgrade the underlying Android version when updating the system for the old phone, which often leads to the old phone even if it updates the latest system, it will also lack some functions due to the lack of some APIs added to the new version of Android.

In addition, at present, Android 15 has entered the beta testing stage, and there are already domestic manufacturers that have opened Android 15 testing to developers, and we should not wait too long to see the new Android version statistically.

The above is all the content of the Antutu second quarter user preference list in 2024, it should be noted that this preference list is based on the mobile phone configuration of Antutu users, so it does not represent the preference of the overall Android mobile phone market, and it is for reference only.
