Don’t let the obvious constraints of a mobile phone fool you. A study by Pew Research Centre found that nearly 89% of Americans are internet users with 67% of them being smartphone users.
Just compare user experience of a blog on your laptop with your phone browser. You immediately notice a few, but obvious constraints about your phone:
- Smaller screen space with small text size

- Finger tapping and not mouse or trackpad usage for selection
- Inconsistency between desktop & mobile UI’s
