As mentioned earlier, Norway was a key sales drivers-- the country sees H1 2017 sales grow by 192% Y-o-Y. Digital Radio Norway says overall sales total 4.1m, and 78% of Norwegian households own one or more DAB+ sets.

These include picture-in-picture multitasking, notification "dots" on frequently used apps, improved battery management, instant app support, an autofill tool for quick and secure password and personal information entry, and, perhaps most importantly, 60 redesigns of the blob-faced emoji.
