The Phablet Show!

After the announcement of Samsung’s Galaxy Note ‘Phablet’, the trend to mix phones with tablets has begun. Tablets are large-sized devices which might work out as phones. Their screen resolution is great and thus they are preferable for playing games and watching videos. After Samsung mixed the screen advantage of the tablet with the voice capability of phones, it gave way to another big industry after mobile phones; the Phablet industry!

Many cellular phone makers have followed Samsung, and there are rumors that most of them are going to make releases by the end of the year in the US. Telecom equipment giants like LG, ZTE, HTC and Sharp have already announced their prototypes.

News has it that HTC will release the Droid DNA in Japan. The 5-inch-screen Phablet will offer a rear 8MP camera with 2MP in front, a quad-core processor and 2GB RAM. The storage is likely to be 16GB. Though the features will provide stiff competition to Samsung, it’s only a matter of the wait.

LG’s and Sharp’s prototypes have been rumored to have almost the same features, except that Sharp has released itself in Russia and its processor is weak compared to others. While LG has full scope of gaining a large share in the market, ZTE has focused itself on a Windows 8 based Phablet. Naturally, somebody has to keep that alive too!
