With the countdown to Black Friday is on and a new survey, conducted by Huawei, has revealed that 60% of Brits are hoping to snap up a deal on new tech in the sales this year. The research found that the top tech predicted purchase is a smartphone, with a quarter (24.7%) looking to upgrade their mobile device on Black Friday, indicating that staying connected is more important than ever in the current climate.
Media watchdog Ofcom found that during lockdown earlier this year Brits were spending 40% of their waking hours in front of a screen. Whether working from home, online shopping or watching videos online screen time is at an all-time high, and the research from Huawei finds that people are looking to invest in new laptops (21%), tablets (19%) and PC’s (13%) this Black Friday, perhaps to boost their WFH tech set-up.
