A device that combines a smartphone with a tablet sounds like a great idea, but think about what you need and how you like to work before putting out any money.
Decades after brick-sized mobile phones went the way of the cassette tape, an unsuspected trend has taken the market by storm: big phones are back! This time, consumer preferences for large screen sizes have led the way to the "phablet" category: mobile phones that are smaller than a tablet but bigger than a typical smartphone. It is generally agreed that a phablet, by definition, has a screen size between five and seven inches (12.7 cm to 17.53 cm), measured diagonally.
Operating Systems
Consumers interested in purchasing a phablet will find a range of devices running Google's Android operating system from a number of manufacturers. As of this writing, phablet-sized devices running Windows Phone 8 and BlackBerry 10 are rumoured to be in development, but have not been announced.
