Data Consumption Report - February 2020

US smartphone users consumed 37.6 GB of data on a monthly basis, slightly up from 33.9 GB in the previous quarter. Wi-Fi usage typically accounted for over 80% of total data consumption, though it’s been declining (74% in Q4 2019) in parallel to the increase in cellular data consumption fueled by unlimited data plans.

Unlimited data plan customers consume more than double the amount of data consumed by customer who are on bucket plans (i.e. 5GB or 8GB plan). Similarly, customers on postpaid accounts consume 42% more than those users who are on prepaid accounts.

Mobile Devices - February 2020

Despite its break away from exclusivity with Motorola a few years ago, Verizon reunified that partnership with the highly anticipated Motorola Razr.  Motorola isn’t the only one to readapt the classic flip design. Samsung has begun selling its foldable clamshell version, dubbed the Galaxy Z Flip at a price point $120 cheaper than the Razr. Samsung is also setting the stage for the release of 3 new Galaxy flagships (the S20), all of which support 5G. The phones will be available for pre-orders beginning February 21st.

Key Highlights:

5G, Gaming and a Samsung Leadership Position

The day has passed and, as expected, Samsung launched its all 5G range of S20 Galaxy phones. Better cameras, better screens … everything you would expect from a flagship phone series. The fact that they live-streamed the event using the S20 camera was a nice touch, helping to prove that the phones have truly met the standard of production camera kits… at least for a livestream anyway.
