Remember those Nokia 1310 phones, the ones which you could
throw at somebody's head and there was a chance that you might end up in a
court room on the charge for an attempt to murder. That phone with a
1"x2" display size was such a revolution. People still remember its
durability, its features of being strong, user-friendly, and fast and just
enough. Who thought, that one day that company would come near bankruptcy.
The world now, is full of smart phones, growing in
size faster than the kids these days. Due to competitive market and improved
pricing policies they have become so cheap, even a guy with a brain, smaller
than the size of phone, has one. Stay connected on the run, they say. Track
your friends, your money, your information, your work, all at the touch of your
hand, they say. In reality, a big world lies in a big screen mobile is what
they want to say. Change is inevitable and evolution is a necessity for
sustenance. Technology is no exception to this theory. With changing times,
corporation and businesses started churning out mobiles of the size of the
tablet. Hence, we have today what we call as phablets, the big screen phones. Some critics put it in a way that corporations
and manufacturers probably got confused with what smartphones and mobiles were
originally intended to do.
Whatever may have been their line of thought, it did not
seem to have fulfilled the rightful purpose. However, it did give birth to a
new generation of phones, Phablets. Some people complain about the tediousness
it has brought along with it as they have to hold it with both hands for
smallest of task like calling. But there is also a category of people who find
it more engaging because of user friendliness big screens bring with them. They
appreciate the improved interaction of visual content. Neither are the former
ones old fashioned, nor do the latter one have an edge over technological
advancement. It’s merely a question of choice.
In today’s time, banking, socializing, knowledge sharing can
be done through mobile, irrespective of their screen size. These gigantic
phones have their own pros and cons. One’s preference for a mobile must first
be weighed upon the requirements of the user. Whoever may win the argument,
truth remains that big screen phones
are only a measure of how small our world is becoming.
