According to the NDP group, In the US, screens that have 4.5 inches and larger use 44% more data than smaller phones. The bigger smartphones use an average of 7.2 GB a month in data and smaller phones has closer to 5 GB a month. Among the apps that are used the most is social media followed by navigation, video, retail and music. They are also becoming more common whereas newer models of tablets are becoming smaller. Some companies are also considering making smartphones larger but for now, it is still in the minority of phones sold. A suggestion for current large phone owners to not get billed on their GB limit per month is to wait and connect to Wi-fi instead of the cellphone net work data before doing any heavy streaming like watching Netflix or YouTube videos for an excessive amount of time.
