From VOA Learning English, this is the Technology Report.
A new study finds Indonesians are increasingly exchanging their older mobile phones for smartphone, a device that combines a phone and a computer. The Nielsen Survey company talked to 1,900 people last year in some of Indonesia's largest cities, including Medan, Bandung, Surabaya and Makasar.
Anil Anthony is the Consumer Insight executive director of Nielsen Indonesia. He says the survey shows smartphone ownership has increased by 5 percent in the country since 2012. He says about one quarter of Indonesians use a smartphone. But he says that is very low compare to smartphone use in other developing countries in Asia, however he says it is more than both India and the Philippines.
A Blackberry Z3 smartphone is shown by a model during its launch in Jakarta, Indonesia, May 13, 2014. The Z3 is priced at (US $200) in the country.
Uday Rayana is a communications observer in the capital, Jakarta. He says smartphone use has become part of the daily life of many Indonesians. But he questions whether social media activities using the devices is a good use of time.
Karania is a human resources worker. Like many Indonesians, she uses only one name. She told VOA that her smartphone has helped her in her job. She says she uses her smartphone both as a telephone and as a way to get on the Internet. She says she spends a lot of time using her smartphone.
Eggi lives near Jakarta. He operates an online food business. He uses his smartphone mostly for business. He says it lets him communicate with his customers.
The Nielsen Study found that the average Indonesian smartphone users spends more than two hours a day on their phones. The study showed users talk, go on the Internet or use apps or applications.
The study found women spend more time talking on their phones than men. It says people between the ages of 25 and 30 are the most active smartphone users. And it found smartphone use reaches its highest level after the workday is complete.
A Nielson report last year found that smartphone usage is very different among countries in East Asia. More than 80 percent of people in Singapore and Malaysia own smartphones. But in the Philippines and India fewer than 20 percent do.

一项新研究发现印尼人越来越多地将老手机换成智能手机，智能手机是结合了手机和电脑功能的设备。尼尔森调查公司去年在印尼最大城市对1900人进行了调查，包括棉兰，万隆，苏腊巴亚和望加锡。
阿尼尔·安东尼是尼尔森调查公司的消费者洞察执行主任，他说调查显示自2012年以来该国智能手机拥有量增加了5%。他说约有四分之一的印尼人有智能手机，但他说与亚洲其他发展中国家的智能手机拥有相比这个比例还较低，不过他说比印度和菲律宾都要高。
Uday Rayana是首都雅加达一位通讯观察家，他说智能手机使用已成为很多印尼人日常的一部分。但他质疑使用智能手机进行社交媒体活动是否是在很好地利用时间。
Karania是一位人力资源工作者，像很多印尼人一样，她只使用一个名字。她告诉美国之音，她的智能手机在工作上帮助了她，她说自己使用智能机来当电话用，也用来上网。她说她在智能手机上花了很多时间。
Eggi住在雅加达附近，他从事在线食品生意，他使用智能手机主要是为了生意，他说智能机帮助他和客户沟通。
尼尔森研究发现普通印尼智能机使用者每天花两个以上小时在手机上，研究表明用户使用智能机来交谈、上网或使用应用。
研究发现妇女用手机来交谈的时间多于男人，称25岁到30岁的人是最活跃的智能机使用者，还发现下班后智能机的使用达到高峰。
尼尔森去年的报告发现智能机使用在东亚国家之间存在差异，新加坡和马来西亚有80%以上的人拥有智能机，但菲律宾和印度只有不到20%的人拥有。
