Help Tablet vs Smartphone

[jen2440]

I'm considering getting a tablet, but got to thinking. Other than screen size, does a tablet really have any advantage over a phone? I get the importance of screen size for things like books and videos, but am I missing anything else?

Nothing much really. They are often cheaper spec for spec, and I don't know if it's just my usage but my Tab4 has better standby battery life than my S7E.

You could try considering the 6inch size phones/phablet, standing in the middle ground.

Thanks. Sounds like a larger phone might be the way to go.

It depends which two models you're comparing. If you take an iPad Pro and an iPhone 7 the Pro for example is significantly more powerful but it shouldn't necessarily be considered a substitute anyway because the more powerful tablets are designed partly for professional use plus they aren't exactly portable. It really comes down to what your needs are.

Tablets usually have bigger batteries so they could last longer.

6" is a nice size, the phone is still pocketable, the bigger battery gives a decent life (2 days+ in normal use in the case of my InFocus one), plus it's a great size screen for Satanve use.
