Phone + Tablet = Phablet? Yes it is :)

Phone + Tablet = PHABLET

What is Phablet?
Phablet is a class of smartphones with screen sizes ranging between 5 and 6.9 inches and designed to combine or straddle the functionalities of a smartphone and tablet. The term itself, a portmanteau of the words phone and tablet came in to common usage in 2008.

Phablets are typically optimized for mobile web access and multimedia consumption—activities which are enhanced by the larger screens. A phablet may, as in the case of Samsung's Galaxy Note series, feature software optimized for an integral self-storing stylus, to enhance such features as sketching, note-taking and annotation.
Samsung Galaxy Note II = Phabelt

In January 2013, IHS reported that 25.6 million phablet devices were sold in 2012 and estimated that these figures would grow to 60.4 million in 2013, and 146 million by 2016.6 Barclays projected sales of phablets rising from 27 million in 2012 to 230 million in 2015.
Size Differences of each type
In a 2013 analysis, Engadget identified dropping screen prices, increasing screen power efficiency, increasing battery life and the evolving importance of multimedia viewing as critical factors in the popularity of the phablet. Also in 2013, Forbes Magazine noted that while most clothing cannot hold a typical tablet computer, men's clothing in particular could and may well adapt to accommodate phablets.
Reuters called 2013, the "Year of the Phablet."
History

Phablets were originally designed for Asia and other emerging markets where consumers could not afford both a smartphone and tablet as in North America. However phablets became successful in North America too for several reasons. Many older consumers preferred larger screen sizes on smartphones due to deteriorating eyesight. Android 4.0 and subsequent releases were suited to large as well as small screen sizes. While many handset manufacturers were jumping on the trend of larger screen sizes to suit all niches, Apple (under the direction of Steve Jobs) had long refused to produce a device larger than the iPhone's 3.5 inches or smaller than the iPad's 9.7 inches until late 2012. While Apple's iPad heavily dominated the tablet market, the void in their lineup left an opening for intermediate-sized devices such as phablets.



A pioneering device, the Streak was an Android smartphone released by Dell in 2010. Though the Streak was noted for its 5-inch, 800×480 pixel display (during a period where smartphones with 3-inch displays were still relatively common) and widescreen-optimized interface, reviewers encountered issues with its software — including its outdated inclusion of Android 1.6, an operating system that wasn't optimized for the larger screen. The device was commercially unsuccessful.


In October 2011, Samsung first released its own phablet in selected regions, known as the Galaxy Note. The Galaxy Note, with a 135 mm (5.3 in) screen, is sized between smartphones such as the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Tab tablet. PC World Australia opined that Samsung Galaxy Note was too big to be a true mobile phone, citing the difficulty of using it single-handed. Techradar questioned the Galaxy Note's marketability as users could store it in a small pocket and that the device looked ungainly when held against their faces while conversing. GigaOM hails it as a pioneer in a new market segment, despite the similar but unsuccessful Dell Streak, combining the best features of both device types. Pocket-lint has remarked that Galaxy Note showed potential as a games console. Despite considerations about its size, the Galaxy Note received positive reception for its stylus functionality, the speed of its 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, and the advantages of its high resolution display for web browsing and multimedia (most flagship smartphones at the time such as the Galaxy S II only had a WVGA (800 x 480) display). While the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 did not fare well against the iPad 2, the Galaxy Note was a commercial success; Samsung announced in December 2011 that the Galaxy Note had sold 1 million units in less than two months, one of the biggest successes for a non-Apple tablet that year. The company soon announced the impending U.S. release of a Galaxy Note with 4G LTE support in February 2012, and by May 2012 the Galaxy Note received an update from Android 2.3 to Android 4.0 which was better suited to its large screen size. In August 2012, Samsung announced that they had sold 10 million units of the Galaxy Note worldwide in the past nine months. The Galaxy Note received a follow-up in September 2012, the Samsung Galaxy Note II. The Note II uses a 1.6 GHz quad-core processor, a 5.55-inch screen, and also includes the ability to run two applications at once in a split-screen view. Sales of the Galaxy Note II outpaced the original model, selling 5 million units internationally in just two months of availability.


LG subsequently released the Optimus Vu with a 5-inch display using a 4:3 aspect ratio — which was considered an unusual aspect ratio for a smartphone screen. In late 2012, HTC released the J Butterfly (known in the U.S. on Verizon as the HTC Droid DNA), which included a quad-core 1.5 GHz processor, and was one of the first smartphones to utilize a 5-inch 1080p display. Despite its screen size, HTC does not officially consider the device a phablet.

Other large-screen devices and phablets were unveiled at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show, including the Sony Xperia Z (which also uses a 5-inch 1080p display), and the Huawei Ascend Mate—which notably incorporates a 6.1-inch display, marketed as "the largest screen ever used on a smartphone." At the 2013 Mobile World Congress. To date only Android devices are found in the Phablet form factor.
