According to the Mobile Life 2013 Report people in the UK spend an average 30% more time on their phones each day than with their other half. Breaking it down into minutes, the time spent with a partner equates to 97 minutes, as opposed to 119 minutes spent with a phone.
The survey also claimed that when on the phone – and subsequently ignoring a partner – browsing the internet and checking up on friends via social networking platforms are the main reasons for being on the phone. This was followed by 'chilling out' and listening to some music, or playing various phone-based games.
David Johnson, General Manager Devices for O2 in the UK, said: "Smartphones are getting smarter all the time with huge leaps being made in screens, sensor technology, camera, audio and processors which can make using and interacting with the phone on the go a pleasure.
"However, that's also meant that we're now spending more time with our eyes glued to the screen than gazing into our partners' eyes.
"Mobile phones have a central part to play in our lives and new responsive technology is making them easier to use and more intuitive, while at the same time packed with more and more functions to make using the phone a more pleasurable experience.
"We're seeing a new generation of phones that react more readily to their users and have truly become home entertainment devices."
