Survey of mobile phone use in Dongguan

1. Why do you want to go to Dongguan for investigation?

Dongguan is a three-tier city, it is characterized by a lot of outsiders, enough factory, the average age of migrant workers, so we choose its research samples. The aim of the research is to understand how young people in factories live, how they use smartphones, and what they need to consume everyday.

2. Investigation process?

Because there is no airport in Dongguan, we have to fly to Shenzhen first, and then run dozens of kilometers of high-speed to arrive in Dongguan Changan Town. We stayed there for three days and two nights, and interviewed three smartphone users and visited a few concentrated factories and neighborhoods.

The following week, another colleague, Jiangnan, also came over here and set up a stall to download free content for the coworkers to get a chance to talk. This process is very interesting.

3, the investigation of the harvest?

Most of the users are touch-screen domestic Android phone, but the basic also as a function machine, such as the SD card plug film, install the application by copying to the SD card and then installed and change the phone address book moved to the SIM and then replaced. But they are familiar with some of the features of the Android system, such as dragging and unloading applications, setting widgets, and managing menus.

2 Download Market:

Most users feel that the mobile phone application market To download things are the same, no concept of security, can be under, so generally are based on the market. The Android Market (www.Hiapk.com) is an absolute advantage, and most people think this is the official market. PC-side computer software, they use very little, mainly rely on internet cafes, as well as some stores to copy and install things.

Workers usually pastime, using mobile phone to watch movies or more popular, because reluctant to open traffic, so social applications, in fact, they chat very little.

4 Wifi Popularity:

Workers will use, there is no threshold, compared to the larger factories such as/oppo high. There are also some factories to recruit workers with free wifi in the dormitory, mobile phone clerk also said that the Wi-Fi coverage in Dongguan has been easily accessible everywhere. We also have a sense of this in the evening parade, and every place that goes through the phone, there are a lot of encrypted or unencrypted Wifi signals. The SSID name is often the pinyin of the nearby factory.

4. Sample sharing: Toy shop workers are using the OPPO cell phone for just 2 months.

1 work income and basic living conditions:

From Hunan, the length of 2 years, in Shenzhen Foxconn stayed for 2 months, I feel there is no overtime without wages, make no money, came to Dongguan. Job-hopping is still more serious, because many factories, if the feeling of overtime, not much money, other factories have friends will consider jumping over. Now the basic salary is 1300, including overtime to 3300, usually sent to about half of the family. Living in a 4-room dormitory, there is no WiFi in the dormitory, or even can not charge (toy factory does not allow privately with the socket board, there is a rotating socket for everyone to use or to the Security pavilion charge. Now work 8 hours a day and have 1.5 hours of rest at noon.

2 Social and recreational life:

Did not participate in activities such as the association. There is no computer, the Internet will go to Internet cafes, dormitories do not let strips (the original version of the plugin, suspected clerical error), bought a computer is useless. The main entertainment time is work rest and after work.

At night after work will also go to some square round. Weekend will go to internet cafes, generally in the surrounding, handcuffed some movies, on the internet, sometimes looking for girls, but said not to find a girlfriend, because has not made money, unstable. The factory side often has some sports activities (mainly some corporate sponsorship to do promotion), in the square can listen to the song will also know or friends introduce some girls, together out to play chat.

Night after work to use the most mobile phone frequency, the square when watching performances, also play mobile phones, often read e-books. The most common use of cell phones is to make phone calls, text messages, and watch videos.

Use QQ chat, also know micro-letter, but worry about traffic. With cool dog music more, but do not listen to music online, only listen to local, watching video is also. The handset uses the OPPO to bring the market, does not install other. Also do not know pea pod or 360, usually to the Internet café installed applications, are downloaded down to the SD card, and then installed. Know that there are 360 on the computer, but feel connected trouble, directly with the SD loaded faster. Not very concerned about the security and privacy issues, I think it is easy to see the ads off the operation is not indifferent.
