When smartphone users browse products and pricing online, 21 percent do so mainly on their smartphone and a much larger 62 percent mainly use their computer. The numbers are even more lopsided when buying online: 11 percent rely mainly on their smartphone and 74 percent on their computer (the remainder use both equally or do not browse/shop online).
