A new word: Phablet

Recently, the size of smartphone sparks the intense debate among people and then Samsung comes to my mind. It seems that the size of Samsung’s smartphone is endless. With a 6.3-inch screen, the Samsung Galaxy Mega now is the largest smartphone in the world. Thanks to Samsung, people even create a new word, phablet. However, do we need such a big phone? It is not hard-press to imagine that the Mega is un-pocketable, especially for those who tend to wear tight clothing.

The Galaxy Mega’s XXXL screen is the obvious highlight, of course. When a phone gets this close to tablet territory, it opens up entirely new experiences.1 I agree with the citation’s statement. Because, some people admit that it works great as a tablet, when they used it to watch videos, read books and browse social networks, just as they would use Ipad Mini or Kindle Fire tablet. It cannot be denied that it brings some new experiences, which makes other smaller smartphones seem like unsatisfying.
