The next step down on tablets, 1024x600, would take 1.8 MB.

In short, the screen size doesn't really make that much difference, at least on modern hardware.
Well, the resolution does, if I read afv correctly. If so, since the more popular phablets have higher res screens, then that would necessitate more processing power.
