Abstract:
How can mobile phone design increase usability and the user’s experience in a global setting? The purpose of this paper is to put forth general design principles to enhance usability. We use a structured literature review of 307 peer-reviewed papers. We find that shared interaction, intuitiveness and personalization should drive mobile phone design. Industry practices are examined and future research avenues are suggested.
