Another phablet sized phone. It'll be a pass for me.

Hm, phablet, haven't heard that word in a while. Smartphones killed tablets and that word in the process

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Manufacturers killed that word so no one can make fun of it. πŸ€£πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

I remember when my 4.8 inch phone was considered a phablet. But it was no bigger than my 6.7 inch phone is now, just bigger bezels.

Just need a 7 inch phone now so it's bigger than my first tablet.

To be fair to modern phones, they have a taller aspect ratio, a 7" 20:9 phone has a smaller surface area than a 7" 16:9 tablet

Curious, what phone are you using? I only see phones 6.4inch and larger. There are hardly any small phones left in the market.

Right now, an Asus Zenfone 8. Been using it for a year and a half. Before that, a Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact which I used for almost 5 years. πŸ˜…

Interesting. I guess a few more years. After that sony. Because Zenfone may or may not launch a compact phone again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hopefully they'll continue selling "compact" phones. Heck, I'm guessing there will be people who will be happy if Asus releases a compact phone every alternate year.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I said that because Zenfone launched the 11 ultra. It may or may not launch the regular 11.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yes, they may or may not launch the normal version. Then again, it's only April. One can still hope. πŸ‘

ZenFone 10 is the last "small" phone I can remember. Sad to see them drop the smaller size with the 11.
