Phones with large screens used to be called phablets, nobody calls them that anymore because they're all phablets now.
It’s unfortunate. I’d love a small, privacy respecting phone. Bonus points if it has an eink display.
That's exactly what the Mudita Kompakt is ! Give it a try it's great!
Nice recommendation! I’m definitely going to look further into it. It appears to be Google-free, which is wonderful. Thanks for taking the time to share!
I must have been in a coma for that. When was this?
Roughly 2010-2015
Phablets were larger than modern screens; in the 8-9" range. You were lucky to fit one in a back pocket.
Phablets were in the 5-7" range, everything above that was definitely a tablet.
No, I saw 4" media devices be called media tablets (hello Archos) whole phones were stuck on 2.5" to 3"
And after that as phone sizes grew, 6-7" screens were called phablets
The HTC EVO 4G was the first phone I remember being called a phablet. It had a 4.3" screen.
Tablets started at 7 or 8 inches. Phablets were in the 5-7 range somewhere generally.
