The
phablet has been approved for military safety standard 'MIL-STD 810G' which is used by US Department of Defense and comes with an IP68 rating which makes the device water and dust resistant.
That being said, the Mi 5s and Mi 5s Plus might be Xiaomi's flagship smartphones for now, but the Mi Note 2 is right around the corner, and it will almost certainly dethrone the Mi 5s Plus and become the company's new flagship
phablet.
Now, the company has yet again released a powerful flagship
phablet poised to win productivity-seeking consumers - the SamsungGalaxy Note5.
The
phablet's exterior has been designed with a smooth transition technology, TOD, which fuses together the display area and the TP frame area and gives the feel of a quite large screen.
But the rise of the
phablet and big screen tablets is not only about keeping ourselves entertained while on the move or at home.
For Indian consumers with limited means, buying a
phablet is a way of joining the digital era with a single purchase, says Anand Chandrasekaran, chief product officer at Snapdeal, a major Indian e-commerce company.
This is very impressive given the
phablet has a 5.7-inch screen and a 1.2GHz quad-core processor.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the
Phablets market in the EMEA region to grow at a CAGR of 28.81 percent over the period 2014-2019.
He said the
phablet market is going to witness the same change that had happened in the TV segment.
It comes less than a week after the release of Apple's latest toy, which saw fans queuing for hours to get their hands on the 5.5-inch
phablet, which costs PS619 to own outright.
