Samsung changed the perception, preference
and choice of the customers with their historic introduction of famed Galaxy
Note on October 2011. We have seen the surge of bigger screens ever since its
release. All the manufacturers followed suit the way of Samsung and brought
forth smartphones with bigger screens. HTC, LG, Sony, Nokia, and Motorola
released their flagship smartphones with an average of 4-inches to 5-inches sizes
and now, Samsung went one step further by introducing Galaxy Mega series
recently. That actually raises the question – how big is too big? I mean,
4-inches to 5-inches seem perfectly all right so should these companies
increase the smartphone’s display screen even more? We have complains from some
kind of consumers that these sizes are too huge for them and they want iPhone 5
sized displays.
But there follows one more question – are the
customers demanding these larger display screens? It seems as such since the
survey done by Strategic Analyst, and 9 out of some 10 people want a larger
display screen when purchasing a new one. Which happens to be the case in
majority of the countries. So, that answers the question. It is us who are
making this happening. It is us who are demanding more and our experience is
changing each time we use a smartphone with large displays.
Our demands have increased and now include
accessing Internet with ease and browsing should be simple and faster. The
tastes and preferences for people around the world have changed and we see more
content and that want appears to be increasing. Most of us watch videos and
movies on our smartphones, phablets and tablets because the displays screens are
usually HD and makes the experience much more enjoyable and comfortable than on
TV or PC. With online music streaming, music has never been so much easier to
save and access. Even the sizes of internal and external storages have
increased as can be seen with Galaxy S4’s support up to 64GB for both internal
and external storage. That, my dears, was not even the size of a Hard Disk a
decade back and some still have those Hard Disks. Imagine the revolution of
smartphones and the technology behind it to create such possibilities!
But it’s not limited to watching videos or
listening to music as now we want to browse more and better than what we did
just a couple of years ago. Most of the smartphones come integrated with social
networking apps like Facebook and Twitter with options to download more like
Skype, Yahoo Messenger, Gtalk, and other such networking clients. Everything
that we used to have on the PCs is now found in our smartphones. Browsing made
easier, video playback made HD and games that we never imagined would make out
of the larger monitors and CPUs now fit into these smartphones. A lot has
changed and we are in the middle of a big technological shift into future.
But how does that justify the large
displays? Shouldn’t there be certain limits pertaining at least to high-end
smartphones? I wouldn’t know that. There can be a certain limit to some
smartphones but it depends entirely on the majority of the market and the
demands by consumers like us. I don’t have a problem with a giant phablet and
do own Galaxy Note 2, which does not feel uncomfortable at all and fits my
jean’s pockets considering that I am a woman. It’s just that even before the
advent of bigger displays I used to use both hands when using my old mobile and
still do, so I have not faced any problems. But that may not be the case for
other people so it goes down to the comfort level and usability.
If there is a limit to smartphones,
phablets and tablets each then yeah, it does not sound bad at all. That way the
consumers can choose what they want and everyone is happy. I think that is what
it will eventually settle down to and that the current times is to check which
size remains the best over time to be a smartphone, phablet and tablet.
