Nobody wants to carry more screens than they need or overpay for the convenience of handheld tech. So let’s take a look at the pros of different sized mobile devices and check out the best deal for each one to get the most bang for your tech buck.
Phones
We’re not talking about the old flip devices from 10 years ago. The current crop of smartphones have all the capabilities of a tablet but with handheld portability.
Unlike phablets, smartphones are small enough (under 5 inches) to make single hand use easy. Is your primary concern communication and information access like electronic payments, banking and quick picture-taking capability?
Save space and get yourself a smartphone to be both productive and always in touch without stretching your pocket out of shape.
Check out this great deal at T-Mobile on the incredible iPhone 7. Just trade in a qualifying device, use the mail-in rebate and take advantage of the generous 24-month finance agreement to get this 4.7-inch pocket powerhouse for $300 off the regular price.
Phablets
Phablets are large-screen mobile phones (smaller than 7 inches). The Galaxy Note was the first entry in this category in 2011 with a 5.3-inch screen which was considered ridiculously large at the time. Now every major manufacturer from Samsung to Apple has its own version of this hugely popular device.
Phablets shine when you need internet access and entertainment that’s easy on the eyes while enjoying access to all the capabilities of a smartphone.
Do you have a long, boring commute on mass transit and want to watch your shows? Need to prepare presentations for office or school? A phablet is a fantastic compromise between the screen size of a tablet and something that doesn’t look silly when you’re making a call.
Do you need a phablet but don’t want to break the bank for a Google Pixel XL? Try the Galaxy A9.
With its enormous 6-inch Super AMOLED display and a long-lasting 4000 mAh battery, the Galaxy A9 usually costs about $450.00. But you can go straight to Sam Stores and find one for $330.00.
