let said 4 millions populations has demand of smart phone around 26,000-28,000 per month

this 27000x12= 324,000

324000/ 4,000,000= 0.081 = 8.1% ?? joking?

example, i am living in asia ( Hongkong ) , in my city over 70% people using smart phone now ( apple, samsung, nokia , or other small brands)

Smart phone is extreme popular, either elderly mom and pop or children or working class. Since you use the smart phone , you cant walk back to other device. and Smart phone is replacing the market share of tablets , digital camera market shares as well!

so can you make the demand of smartphone rise more to catch up realistic demand?

for my suggestion, at least 30% populations will buy the new smartphone every year! which the market can contain 4-5 players!

中國第三大智能手機中國無線（2369）財務長蔣超接受彭博電視專訪時表示，受惠於低檔手機需求，今年有機會超過聯想（992）登上第二的寶座，不過趕上三星則需要幾年時間。

蔣超表示，聯想市佔率只比中國無線高出2%，所以他們將很快追上聯想。根據研究公司IDC去年12月份的報告，中國智能手機總發貨量今年將增加44%至3億部，主要受700元人民幣的手機需求所帶動。

中移動（941）正積極鼓勵使用2G網絡的客戶，通過中低檔智能手機升級到3G服務，這是智能手機飆升的原因之一。在1993年成立的中國無線通過中移動銷售手機已有10年的時間

This news content about the China Smart Phone 2013 is around selling 300 millions phone according IDC consulting firm , 44% rising from 2012 amount, and the each smart phone prices is driven by low prices item , which around $100-200 category!

300 millions sales / 1300 millions population = 23% of populations annual sales!!

I remember when I played with 7 cities, I had like 12 big sized factories only for smart phones. And I usually have minimum 10 sale points in cities with over 4 mil population. Smart phones have already one of the biggest demands, probably in top 3. Also dont forget this is a game and in my opinion; a suprisingly well balanced one.
