account for 12%. This is mainly because
social apps, like BBM and Facebook, are

meet the public demand like social apps

and size of up to 4 inch. As a
comparison, over 70% China mobiles are
equiped with 1280*720 screen resolution

15. o Overall, the active hour follows people's living habits.
o The user number picks up since 17:00 and reaches the first peak at 20:00 when people
take rest after work.
o What interests us is the second peak which takes place at 24:00,contrary to the usual
living habit of locals who usually go to bed early. Before further analysis in this regard,
we are having two guesses:1) the locals are putting off their bed time.2) playing with
mobile is becoming a habit before sleep.
