One question.... Why no mention of 1520?

Sign in and ask the guy why he ignored the Lumias, as if Apple and Samsung invented big phones. We don't know.

When I get in sure.

I think 5" will become the standard going forward.

Reason is because that is about as large as you can get and still have your thumb reach most of the phone. Over 5" means you can't hold the phone like a phone anymore (ie one handed) and still use it effectively. It also starts to look goofy being held as a phone up to your face at the larger sizes.

To answer your question, the 1520 being a phablet does not have any enhancements that a phablet should have, atleast in comparison to the ones in the article. This is the harsh truth which I hope would change with W10. Right now the 1520 is just a big WP with powerful hardware

Ok, what new and "revolutionary" features does the ip6+ have to make it a fantastic fablet? IMO, the 1520 is much better than that piece of tinfoil.

Not taking sides here but the iPhone 6+ does have improvements that are not found on other non-phablet iPhones. For example, it supports landscape mode and Bluetooth keyboard which can be used for taking notes. Secondly Apple has also enabled touch enhancements for easier one hand use which last time I checked Microsoft hasn't.

Microsoft are too busy adding dancing with the stars.....

there is data for iPhone and galaxy sales numbers would be guess.

do you have data for 1020 sales?

 

[Steve Adams]

Sales numbers asdie, how about giving credit where credit is due. the 1520 is a fantastic phablet. Again, better than the ip6+, the note has awesome features but crap software that cripples it.

The sad thing about the 1520 is it doesn't have unique features that a phablet could take advantage on.

But, the future is bright for the 1520 with Windows 10 coming really soon.

I am going out on a limb and say that MS is going to release a "1520" sized surface pro device in the next year. Equipped with a Wacom pen and everything. And even though they sort of axed it before, I am also predicting a surface mini to the marketplace as well.

I wouldn't classify Lumia 1520 as a phablet. I would rather treat it as a large phone instead. It has absolutely no difference to the Lumia 930 (I mean extra phablet features and not sd card/glance/etc.) except for some scaling here and there (and even so, limited).

 

[pankaj981]

Exactly my thoughts, the 1520 is a large phone. Unless Microsoft enables true phablet friendly features for it, it's still falls in the phone category

 

[Steve Adams]

Therefore the ip6+ is a large phone as well. as is the note. as they are all the same design, and overall spec. the only diffrerence between them, is one, the logo and two the note has a pen. In that case, the asus tabfone is a fablet.

Phone without multi window multitasking at least,can not be called phablet despite it's size.

I had it before note3 and it is a beautyful device with awesome camera and strong hardware and awesome battery life but its just a big phone,nothing more...

I am hoping that for once!!! Microsoft has some sense in their way of thinking ahead and that merging WP and RT will bring many phablet functions to the 1520.

Then, said author should not be writing professionally about technology. I am just an enthusiast and I know about pretty well every new electronic device coming out. that's his JOB.

That's like me being a mechanic of motocycles etc, and not knowing that Harley Davidson, Honda etc does not make a motorcycle. I guess I have a different work ethic than others.

that's an opinion also.

neither I, nor you, our anyone, can know every possible maker of phablets. do a search on some Chinese websites, you'll find quite a few device manufactures you've never heard of before. ask a Harley mechanic about valve lash adjustments for a current model gold wing, and you'll find its out of his scope of knowledge.


its all relative.
