According to <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.flurry.com\/bid\/95652\/Size-Matters-for-Connected-Devices-Phablets-Don-t\">a report from Flurry Analytics<\/a>, smartphones around the size of Apple&#8217;s (<a href=\"http:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/q?s=aapl\">AAPL<\/a>) <a href=\"http:\/\/bgr.com\/iphone\">iPhone<\/a> experience the most regular usage among users. Devices with screen sizes between 3.5-inches and 4.9-inches were found to account for 69% of data usage, compared to smaller smartphones such as <a href=\"http:\/\/bgr.com\/tag\/blackberry\">BlackBerrys<\/a>\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/q?s=bbry\">BBRY<\/a>) at 16% and larger screen handsets, commonly referred to as &#8220;phablets,&#8221; at 2% of usage. When the data was broken down further, it was discovered that phablets only account for 7% of data on all\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bgr.com\/tag\/android\">Android<\/a>\u00a0devices, compared to 70% from normal sized devices. The research firm suggests that larger-screened phones are a fad, however with more companies <a href=\"http:\/\/bgr.com\/2013\/03\/15\/galaxy-s-4-release-date-april-379767\/\">releasing devices with 5-inch or higher displays<\/a>, usage could increase in the coming years.
