Flurry observed a top slice of data taken from 1.6 billions devices tracked every months. It focused on the top 875 devices that was account for about 87% of sessions in March 2015, as to find the global active devices based on the screen. The anaylists found that phablets have more than trippled their share of usage since 2014. 

In January 2014,, it is reported that only 66 percents of active users were on phablets compared with the medium phone (3.5 - 4.9 inches) users as many as 68 percent. Yet, by March 2015, there was an increase on the phablet users into 20 percent, while the medium phone users decreased to 59 percent. 

There are 5 categories observed by Flurry, i.e. small phone users, medium phone users, phablet users, small tablet users, and full-sized tablet users. 

From all the five categories, only the number of the phablets users that keep increasing by the time. This trend shows that it is totally possible that any other communication devices, are slipped over by phablets. This is true what people say that phablets are eating phones and tablets.
