I don’t like the term phablet, used to describe those huge phones (like the Galaxy Note 3) that are part phone/part tablet. In fact, the lads at droid-life agree with me, headlining an article today that the phablet is dead.
Actually, they mean that the term is dead: Large format phones are here to stay. So entrenched they are, that formerly-regular-sized phones are now going by the moniker “mini.”
World: We need larger pockets.
When the iPad came out, there were plenty of jokes and ‘shopped images of pants with oversized pockets just so you could cram a 10″ tablet in your pockets. Maybe those need to become reality.

I remember those! That was hilarious.
My Galaxy Note II fits fine in my pocket. Where it’s a pain is taking out while it’s ringing. When I’m standing up, I can grab it just fine. But when I’m sitting, I need to either stand or lean way back to take it out of my pocket. I never had that problem with any other phone.
