How Many People Have Smartphones In The World? According to Statista, the current number of smartphone users in the world today is 6.648 billion, and this means 83.72% of the world's population owns a smartphone.

It seems that more people, world wide, have smart phones than have internet access. How can that be? Perhaps they don't have the bandwidth for the internet? I know that sometimes it takes longer than I want to 'stick around' for some internet sites to load. Gotta load all those ads don't ya know. I have wi-fi. Not all that slow but not blazing fast.
