curious sense of insecurity has taken root in the
smartphone industry, and it's not so much about
the size, but rather the way we deal with it.
More specifically, the way we dealt with it in the
past has come to haunt many a tech blogger.
Does anyone remember the 4.65-inch Galaxy
Nexus? The 4.7-inch HTC Titan? These were the
'crazy' phablets of days past. Today, these are
both considered medium-sized flagships. In just a
few short years, we went from being horrified at
the thought of anything exceeding 4 inches, to a
state where those appear tiny, even when
compared to the mini versions of popular top-
shelf models. So, are we in for another round?
Are the below listed giants on path to become the
new standard? Or are we reaching a fundamental
limit? We sure would like to join voices with the
seemingly outraged community, yet we're a tad
jittery, and can't quite muster up the courage to
make a definitive statement, all things
considered. In any case, it does seem like the
phablet category will endure, and, if anything, is
growing more diverse. And ever larger, of course.
So how big is big enough? Six inches, minimum,
at least if you were to ask the creators of the
massive beasts you'll find right below. And after
all, why the heck no? In the end, bar price
considerations, these are small, voice calls-
capable tablets in super-'compact' bodies. And,
fellas, they are here to stay.
