Abstract
This study utilizes a unique dataset from a telecommunications company to examine the relationship between screen size and cellular data consumption for smartphone users. We first find an overall positive correlation based on population-level cross-sectional regressions, but after adopting a quasi-experimental design, there is no significant relationship between screen size and cellular data consumption measured by the amount of data transmitted. Motivated by the theory of task-technology fit, our additional analyses of the QQ browser mobile app suggest that screen size has a positive effect on mobile web browsing. Our study provides important implications for mobile network operators in understanding consumer behavior and promoting mobile data services to users with different devices.
