Smartphone users are driven to upgrade their handsets sooner and to pay more to get better cameras, a survey by InfoTrends shows. InfoTrends surveyed 1,499 U.S. consumers about their use of smartphones and other devices. It found that the recent end of subsidized handset pricing by most wireless carriers would cause more than 40% of smartphone users to wait longer to get a new phone, and about half that number to opt for a less expensive phone. More than 35% of each group, however, said that a significantly better camera would be enough to make them buy sooner or pay more, InfoTrends said in a news release Tuesday . The survey results help explain why Apple ( AAPL ), Samsung and other handset makers promote the photo-taking abilities of their handsets in national television advertisements. Apple is rumored to be making a version of its upcoming iPhone 7 that has a dual-camera design. The benefits of the dual-camera setup include faster speed, better resolution (especially in low light conditions) and the ability to incorporate 2-3x optical zoom. LG Electronics and Huawei already have dual-camera smartphones for sale. Scalper1 News
