Apple's iPad is the preferred choice of households that have tablets in Kuwait.

A new Arab Advisors Group's survey of cellular users in Kuwait reveals insightful details on smartphones and tablets adoption and usage patterns. The survey probed general cellular usage habits, smartphones awareness in addition to tablets availability among cellular users in Kuwait. The Kuwait smartphone survey follows the three smartphone survey reports concluded in Jordan, UAE and Saudi Arabia.

The Arab Advisors Group concluded a ground breaking survey of cellular users in Kuwait probing smartphones adoption and usage. The survey revealed that 51.3% of the total cellular handsets used by the respondents are smartphones. More than half (58.5%) of smartphone users who use applications prefer the English language for their applications.

A new major cellular phone survey of cellular users in Kuwait was conducted by the Arab Advisors Group in February 2012. The survey report, "Kuwait Smartphone Survey 2012" was released on April 5, 2012. The survey covered general cellular usage habits; smartphone adoption and usage patterns; smartphone awareness, cellular handsets' brands and models in addition to tablets availability among respondents. The report has 53 pages and 63 exhibits.

The survey results encompass answers from 750 cellular users that passed rigorous quality control checks. Quality control was conducted by Arab Advisors Group's team. The survey yields a confidence level of 99% with a margin of error of less than 5%.
