It has become a one-stop-centre for many things. Students set schedules and meetings on their phone, set up online meetings via skype, make conference video calls to communicate with their friends and family, review their course notes on the phone as well as participate in online classes with a smartphone. The usage of smartphones has become endless. Together with that, addiction towards smartphones has become inevitable. Smartphone addiction has caused many issues, such as emotional distress, neck pain and sleep disorder. In this paper, we report the results of a quantitative study that was conducted to evaluate smartphone addiction disorder among 135 university students. A survey consisting of the 26 items of Smartphone Addiction Inventory (SPAI) was administered to determine the impact of smartphone usage on university students and to study the factors related to the addiction. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was carried out to study the underlying connection within the 26 items and the students. Results indicate that smartphone addiction among the university students is in the average, as the total SPAI score for 73 participants focuses in the middle range. The EFA outcome suggested a two-factor solution: Dependency and Well-beingness. The results of our study indicate that students' wellbeing is getting affected by the usage of smartphones. � 2020 IEEE.
