Even if you may not be familiar with the word, you have seen an 8 inch phablet in use, and you probably realized at once that it was a perfect hybrid type of mobile device. Essentially a combination of a smartphone and a tablet, the phablet offers a large screen and tablet functions all within a large smartphone type of style and design.
Virtually all mobile device manufacturers offer a phablet, with five to seven inches being the most common size. The slightly larger 8 inch phablet is considered one of the best sizes possible as it has increased screen size that doesn’t detract from the ability of the device also to be used as a very effective smartphone option.
Increased Features and Functions
With the additional size of the phablet over the smartphone, there is greater room for more advanced components in the operating system. This translates into faster downloading speeds, more functionality and features, and greater speed in showing graphics, videos or online streaming movies and television shows.
Combined with the larger screen, the 8 inch phablet is a perfect match for gamers or for those who enjoy streaming videos to a mobile device. This is also a perfect option for those who use an e-reader, eliminating the need to carry a phone and separate device.
Multiple Functions at the Same Time
While most smartphones allow easy access of frequently used or open apps and features, with a phablet it is possible to have more than one app or function open and displayed on the screen. This simple, time-saving function is important in a wide range of uses and can help to reduce the number of swipes, taps and page turns required to find and use the app or function as it is needed.
Depending on how you use the device, and your typical needs, this is a great feature to consider. With this options multitasking becomes even easier, an important consideration for both casual and personal use of the device as well as those looking for an effective business tool.
The best of these systems also offer top of the line cameras on the phablet. Like the smartphone, they may offer a single position camera for the option to take pictures on a front or rear facing camera.
The additional screen size for photos is also a plus. It is much easier to edit and enhance photos as well as to ensure the picture is perfect before it is emailed, posted or shared with friends, family or anyone you want.
