[quote]Samsung's rumored follow-up to the Galaxy Note 2 may push size boundaries of what can still qualify as a smartphone with a whopping 6.3-inch display.
According to The Korea Times, local parts suppliers are talking about a 6.3-inch OLED screen for Samsung's Galaxy Note 3, which is a significant jump from the Galaxy Note 2's 5.5-inch display.
The Note 2 was already considered large by smartphone standards, earning it the term "phablet" for resembling a tablet.
Seven-inch screens seem to be the tablet minimum these days, but 6.3-inches may just cross the line where it isn't practical to think of it as a handheld device anymore.
In good company?
The 6-inch range is mostly unexplored by tablets, with the most notable device in that range being the Wii U GamePad's 6.2-inch display.
The GamePad obviously has some extra bulk added that a tablet wouldn't need, so it isn't the best size comparison, but even with a minimal bezel and thin chassis a 6.3-inch screen would mean a step outside of phablet territory.
Huawei is also rumored to be stepping up to a 6.1-inch display for the Ascend Mate, so Samsung isn't alone in hypothetically charging into unexplored screen sizes.
January or February for Galaxy S4?
The Korea Times also added a note about the inevitable Samsung Galaxy S4, claiming an unveiling for the Android handset at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next February.
However, Samsung might have other plans, recently teasing that we get ready for "something new" during CES 2013 from Jan. 8 – Jan. 11.
A report in early November suggested that Samsung is planning a major rebrand for the company globally, which could include a new look across all of Samsung's products.
It's also speculated that the Galaxy S4 will make its debut at CES 2013, and what better way to kick off a brand redesign than with its flagship smartphone.
Of course, the South Korean firm could launch its SIV at a stand-alone event, which would be fitting for such a highly anticipated device.
CES 2013 is less than a month away now, so there isn't much time left to wait until Samsung shows what it has in mind for its big announcement.
The company seems to think it has something big up its sleeve, which in the case of the rumored Galaxy Note 3 could refer to size as much as its hype.[/quote]

It was either that or something relating to "size does matter"
I just checked yesterday.
My dick is still bigger
I don't know how I feel about the way phones are going, they're reaching the awkward zone where they're too big to be a phone, but too small to be a tablet
and then you cant fit your phone in your pocket
hold on let me check

the only phone in that state right now is the note
Am I the only one who still believes in keyboards for smartphones?

I just type faster if I have physical backing.

They still make flip/sliders that also have a touch screen.
I think that the screen is getting too big now. Thats great that its big, but it loses the ease of use

I don't know of any flip smartphones other than the Softbank 007SH
As long as they don't make it gain an inch and a half I'm good.
whats a penis
fuck you guys I still have another inch left to spare
I'm pretty sure that's shorter than the average penis.
Care to give us a comparison?
:v:

It's come full circle. From bigger than your dick to smaller and bigger again.
It's a beautiful cycle.
well yeah i guess it is

oh hey your avatar
its not bigger anymore
To be fair, this is the Note, which isn't there to be tiny. It's supposed to be bigger than their other phones.
It's a mini-tablet at this point... barely an inch under the nexus 7
I'm a massive seven inches. :smug:

My penis never stopped being bigger than my phone.
Why make the Screen so big you might as well get a tablet at this point
[QUOTE=theevilldeadII;38837406]Why make the Screen so big you might as well get a tablet at this point[/QUOTE]
Because it doubles as a phone. It's handy for some people to have something like the note, because the screen is large enough to use a stylus comfortably while still not being a tablet, and having functionality as a phone.
I feel like the only person anymore who just wants their phone to be a phone.
Ironically, looking forward to trading in my shitty Motoblur for a Galaxy.
Why do they always take photos of android devices and iOS devices while the Android device is on the app screen?
I miss my original droid. Back then i thought [I]that[/I] was a big phone. Nothing compared to my current Droid Thunderbolt, that huge phone in the article. The thing I liked about the droid was its keyboard. Typing on a touch screen keyboard is fucking awful, especially because i have huge hands.
