WHAT IS THE PHABLET?

PHABLET

 If we mix the word Phone and Tablet. we will get Phablet. we will talk about this new device Phablet. what are its advantages and disadvantages.

WHAT ARE THE PHABLET?

 If the Samsung Galaxy Note sounds, you can perfectly understand what we are going to talk about today in this article. The Phablet are, to understand it simply, half Smartphone and half Tablet, that is, phones larger than a traditional Smartphone but smaller than a tablet. Its size varies between 5 and 7 inches measured diagonally.

 Its most important feature is its screen, so we can say that a Phablet or Tablet is a Tablet with the most complete features of a Smartphone.

WHAT ARE THE PHABLET US FOR?

 Like the Tablet and Smartphone, Phablet offers us the options to call, send text messages, touch screen, virtual keyboard, integrated camera, webcam, custom applications, etc. They usually use 3G or 4G technology for calls and built-in Wi-Fi technology.

 The Phablet are definitely a hybrid of a Tablet and a Smartphone with the main advantage of being more comfortable to carry than a Tablet because they are smaller.

WHAT ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES DO THE PHABLET HAVE?

 The main advantages of the Phablet are the following:

 - They are more comfortable. With the Phablet we can carry a single device on top, instead of having to carry our 

 tablet and our Smartphone.

  - Its size is adequate and offers 2 technologies in one.

  - Your battery lasts much longer than that of a Smartphone.

  - Access to all applications offered by Smartphones and Tablets.

  - Its built-in cameras are usually 8 Megapixel or more, while the Smartphone is usually less.

  - The image and sound quality is much higher than the traditional Smartphone.

  - They usually have 4-core processors and 2 GB of RAM.

  - If with a Tablet we could not make Video Calls with the Phablet if we can and they are also ideal for it since

  their screens are larger and of better resolution and quality than the Smartphone.

  - They weigh about a third less than the Tablet.

  - Some models are resistant to water and dust.

  Although we may think that they are uncomfortable to make calls because they are somewhat larger than the Smartphone, we will say that the main use we give to our Smartphones is for navigation, emails, applications, games , social networks ... etc, staying in a 10% use to make calls.

  But as always, they also have their disadvantages and this is where each one has to see the use he makes of his devices and if he compensates one or the other. The main disadvantages of the Phablet are:

  - As always the price. It is quite high and not everyone can access them, although they

  will surely end up going down over time. The cheapest cost about 400 euros. In the next question we will talk about

  Prices and brands.

  - To make calls are considered too large devices, but you also have to keep in mind that

  we use them less and less to call.

  - On the contrary, they are considered too small to be a Tablet and maybe it can be uncomfortable to watch movies, videos ... etc

  - The touch screen is usually handled with a pencil like the old Smartphone.

  - Apple does not yet have these devices on the market, but it is rumored that it is already thinking about getting into this

  niche market. Will they be called iPhablet ?

  - At the moment the surveys conclude that most users prefer to have a device for everything. The

  tablet on the one hand and the Smartphone on the other, but it's all a matter of time. (Ex: a decade ago we wanted the smallest

   mobile possible and now our Smartphone are bigger because they offer us functions that

  require a larger screen size).

  - We need 2 hands to handle them. Its width does not allow you to hold it with one hand and stretch our

  thumbs to access its functions as we can do with most Smartphone.

  - Our garments (especially pockets) are not ready to be worn, such as our

  Smartphone.

WHAT BRANDS CAN WE FIND IN THE CURRENT MARKET?

  The main houses that offer this device are SAMSUNG , LG and SONY , among others.

WHAT FUTURE DO YOU WAIT FOR PHABLET?

  The world's best known and most important companies that manufacture these devices are struggling so that in the short-medium term we replace our Smartphone with Phablet that offer us more advantages than inconveniences, although we do not know if the defenders of the Tablets will fall into this temptation.
