34 percent of the Dutch have paid at least 300 euros directly to their smartphone. This concerns the one-off additional payment that you make when purchasing a smartphone with a new subscription. It is a wise thing to do, because otherwise you risk a BKR registration. But there are more interesting findings from the research of Telecom paper†
Apple vs Samsung
A panel that was held over the first quarter of 2022 shows that young people in particular often pay a lot extra to buy a telephone. 42 percent of Dutch people between the ages of 18 and 24 have paid more than 300 euros for their telephone.
Apple users also quickly lose some money: that company has no new smartphones available that cost less than 300 euros, so that 48 percent paid more than 300 euros. It is very different with Samsung: 22 percent paid more than 300 euros: 45 percent of Samsung users pay less than 100 euros. The cheapest Apple (iPhone SE) costs more than 500 euros, while the cheapest Samsung (Galaxy A03) costs only 150 euros.
Pay extra for a device
You can of course always pay more for your device: for example, 10 percent of the Dutch added 700 euros or more for a beautiful new smartphone. 8 percent were between 500 and 700 euros, with 16 percent between 300 and 500 euros. About one third have spent less than 100 euros when taking out a subscription with a smartphone. 16 percent even paid less than 50 euros and another 16 percent was between 50 and 100 euros.
The elderly seem to care least about a luxury, expensive smartphone or may receive it in some other way (for example from a grandchild who is tired of his phone or can renew it): 34 percent of people over 68 pay 100 euros less for their smartphone. smart phone.
Telecompaper indicates that in four years’ time it will be noticeable that the Dutch are increasingly paying more than 300 euros for their device. In 2019 it was 24 percent versus 34 percent in 2022.
