Selecting a Smartphone or a Phablet Released Today by First Class Posting
(PRWEB) February 27, 2014 -- The smartphone market has grown rapidly over the past several years. Thanks to the innovation of companies like Apple and Samsung, smartphones are more advanced and affordable than could even be dreamed about a decade ago. Along with smartphones, tablets have come from being an essentially non-existent market to a massively lucrative market, with over 180 million units sold in 2013. As both of these devices have grown in popularity, many users have started demanding a form factor that is somewhere between the smartphone and the tablet.
There are a number of reasons this demand makes sense. Tablets, while highly portable, are still difficult to carry around with one all day, unless one is willing to carry a briefcase, bag, or are willing to risk the device being dropped or stolen out of ones hands. Smartphones, on the other hand, have screen sizes that are just a bit too small for certain functions. Looking at documents, watching videos, and Internet browsing are just some of the activities that can be less than ideal on the small screen of a smartphone.
As a result, a hybrid smartphone/tablet niche has developed, and is growing rapidly. These devices, commonly known as “phablets” solve many of the problems users found with both smartphones and tablets. Their proponents argue that the phablet could eventually become the all-in-one device that replaces two devices simultaneously. Scottsdale Arizona entrepreneur and industry expert said, “Phablets are definitely a market category worth watching. While some users might find the form factor unappealing, early adopters seem to be loving their phablets.”
