2013 will be the year of phablet (which Apple likes it or not)

Gaining craze of smartphones(JIAYU G1) XXL. More and more companies prepare models with a display of over 5 inches and while the sales increased. But what will Apple?
 
It is said phablet a smartphone(ThL W3+) with a 5-inch or more, a kind of phone that aspires to be a tablet becoming very little pocket. For a long time, this unusual hybrid has caused widespread hilarity in the hi-tech. Just think of the reception given in 2010 to what can be defined as the first phablet, the Dell Streak, a device with a 5-inch touchscreen that many dismissed as an experiment without the possibility of the future.
In less than three years later, that group of skeptics is forced to change his mind, since devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note now have a very good market success. In addition, all indications suggest believe that 2013 will be the year of phablet g- THL w5 mtk6577.
Last year, the market phablet, reached 25.6 million units, and the market research agency iSuppli IHS does not hesitate to predict that by the end of 2013 this figure will more than double share exceeding 60 million.
"The transition to an offer of smartphones with larger displays reflects the efforts of hardware companies to differentiate their products," said Vinita Jakhanwal in respect of IHS iSuppli "As consumers increasingly require a visual experience as realistic as possible , the tendency to offer similar devices is perfectly understandable, especially considering the increase of high-definition content accessible via smartphones. "
But there are those who are much less cautious. The experts at ABI Research, for example, do not hesitate to opt for a "flood of phablet" for 2013. According to a report published at this time, by January 2014 phablet sold on a global level will exceed 150 million units, bringing to represent 18% of the global smartphone market.
In the light of these predictions is not surprising that the entire mobile landscape is converting its production strategy to include in its park new smartphone models XXL. Even Apple has always been suspicious of screens too generous, has fallen under the spell of the 4-inch iPhone 5 and, wanting to listen to the latest rumors, is preparing to launch from here a few months a new model 4.8 inches.
But for once, Apple is likely to come to the party late. Anyone who has followed closely the recent edition of CES, you know what I mean. While in Cupertino cross swords to determine whether the iPhone deserve a size XL, some of the most important hardware industry giants are preparing to launch on the smartphone market size XXL, with a display that in some cases exceed 6 inches. This is the case of Huawei, which presented a 6.1-inch smartphone. A record, in terms of touch, that soon she could be subtracted from Sony. According to some leaked images in the last hours, the Japanese company would in fact working on a smartphone with 6.4-inch with a resolution of 1080p.
Meanwhile LG has revealed that the next G Optimus Pro will have a 5-inch screen, and rumors that the company would be ready to launch another model by 5.5 inches. The same applies to ZTE, which with its Grand S has joined the family of the over-5 inches.
In short, there is no doubt that the market is going through a phablet encouraging, this does not mean that these giants will be able to establish itself as a standard. There is a strong slice of users who probably will never go to a mobile phone XXL, for reasons of convenience, price, design, or for the simple fact that they use their smartphone to enjoy multimedia content in high definition.
