PHABLET

Phablet

A phablet is a class of mobile device designed to combine or straddle the functions of a smartphone and tablet. Phablets are characterized by the use of large screens, typically with a diagonal size between 5 to 6.9 inches, which complement screen-intensive activity such as mobile web browsing and multimedia viewing. Phablets may also include software optimized for an integral self-storing stylus to facilitate sketching, note-taking and annotation. While Samsung's Galaxy Note is largely credited with pioneering the worldwide phablet market when launched in 2011, examples of early devices with similar form factors date back all the way to 1993.
