Smart phone users on average spent 3.91 hours a day on New Year's Eve and the first day of the Spring Festival (Feb 7-8), the peak period for New Year greetings, which is one hour more from the same period of last year.

The data is based on the 650 million daily active users on China's leading cell phone smart push service Getui. Grabbing red envelopes and instance messaging were the most common usages.
