The software will be key in the war of phablets, not … – eju.tv

The large screen smartphones or phablets have been imposed in the current market, that one of the candidates prevails among others, should be noted for their software, not their hardware.

iPhone-6-Plus-vs-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4

Look to your smartphone and the size of your screen . Now try to remember the size of your screen that had earlier, whether or not smartphone terminal. Probably the predecessor of its current smartphone has a smaller screen than the one you are using, is that the trend of phablets began with many comments of detractors, detractors have finally finished bowing to the virtues of these sizes. In fact, we have seen that Apple, a company that previously defended its screen size fiercely recently introduced the iPhone 6 Plus , a smartphone with a screen 5.5 inches that the request came in response to their customers for larger screens.

On the other hand we find in many sizes and many Android devices that can be considered phablets , but emphasizing among them Samsung Galaxy Note 4 5.7 inch screen , and is also Samsung which started the trend of increasing dramatically the screens three years ago. Finally, to be fair to the 3 major mobile operating systems, find the Lumia 1520 as a representative of the phablets on Windows Phone with a screen 6 inches .

Comparing these devices together roughly (note that the Lumia 1520 is the end of last year) will see their performance, fluidity and speed is more or less the same and is fantastic in the three cases, as manufacturers tend not to skimp on hardware to put it best of the best on these devices. also can not complain about the autonomy , leveraging its enormous size to include huge batteries, typically 2800 mAh on, and being the reason for purchase for many along with the simple fact of having a huge screen .

Therefore, what we complain of phablets What can manufacturers to distinguish their phablet of others and it will become the Alpha Male ? To answer this, we must first see the phablets , which only noted for a larger screen than normal and had nothing to exploited this circumstance. Currently, the situation has not improved the way you need to take the final to push this market segment, manufacturers need to make your phablets are for consumers more than a big screen, and the only way for this is to work on the software .

are no longer talking of these timid attempts we’ve seen by manufacturers as including a stylus, creating a way to handle with a hand or take the device in landscape mode to show more information in any application if you hold it vertically. These attempts are good but insufficient to motivate the final step of a normal one with a large screen smartphone. Manufacturers must obtain separate the concept of phablet of a normal smartphone, like the concepts of smartphone and tablet are separated.

Leverage large screens is critical for the future success of phablets. Obviously, I’m not asking them what you would on a tablet into a phablet , but I do think manufacturers and independent developers can get more out of this circumstance , with more tailored applications or software that works in conjunction with the hardware to give us what we need at any given time. A clear example would be to have a smaller version of the screen on one side of it automatically if the smartphone detects that we are holding it with one hand for X seconds, either by necessity ( you go on the bus or subway) or are you doing other things and you need the other hand free.

Another example would extend much what Apple has done in your mail application, at her in landscape shows more information at her vertical . Imagine a menu WhatsApp where you can go sailing through the various messages while you are watching developments in other groups or other conversations, or something similar in Pocket, Twitter clients that allow you to view multiple columns, or a version of Flipboard in landscape is a scroll side instead of vertical, like an ordinary book. The possibilities are endless. Those with stylus also phablets could improve the handwriting recognition software , making it more fluid and precise, which can be especially to annotate PDF or images.

Another interesting field is the multitasking, namely to have two applications open at once on the screen , something that some users do not just convince them. If you’re using phablet , you should assume that you have a big bigger than the average screen. Why not take advantage of that fact? Imagine going seeing photos you want to upload to your Instagram account while watching the latest news on Twitter, or to see a video on YouTube while you answer some mail or a message in WhatsApp. On the part of the manufacturers we have seen some attempts multitasking with some applications, but developers should work to achieve adaptation and further integration.

What manufacturers should it conclude that the phablet can highlight a product with its own identity, like the Note range has managed to establish itself as a Samsung range, beyond the Galaxy S. The phablets They are large with huge screens, and most can see this as negative points when you buy when, with a little work and adapting the software that accompanies it, can be more attractive and become advantages , especially in diverse areas such as corporate, who likes to do two or more things at once or just those who prefer a large screen to see more at a glance. The phablets are already here and nobody will take, just have to make them feel at home
