I recently upudraded from Samsung Galay J3 to Samsung Galaxy J7 Perx. I've always used Virgin Mobile. J3 has a 5 inch screen and J7 Perx has 5.5 inch. Does a bigger smartphone use up more data, or is it the same?

Bigger smart phones usually come with more apps on them, which means more updates more frequently, which means more data will be used if you don't set your phone to update only on Wi-Fi, or have very limited access to wireless. If you take and upload videos and photos, your higher-resolution/high-def content will consume more data in these activities as well. Likewise, if you stream videos in hi-def you'll consume more data than if you were watching SD content on a lesser display.
But generally, like the above post says, the amount of data that you receive while browsing the web does not change if you get a bigger phone.
