| Its the worst word, a word only spoken with an apology or maybe with a proviso. "I hate saying this word, but its the only way to describe this thing." But its just a word. And like all good words, it accurately connotes the thing you want to reference. Its more economical than "gigantic phone" and, honestly, more accurate. A phablet is not a phone; its something else. |
| In fact, theres a certain satisfaction in using it. When a word not only refers to a thing but also itself feels just as unwieldy as that thing, that is a good word. A powerful word, a word that gets things done and isnt worried about how silly it looks doing it. | | The Nexus 6 is a phablet. | | Its also the showcase for the newest version of Android, 5.0 Lollipop. As with other Nexus devices, it will likely be one of the only phones to run Android without extra, unwanted software you get from carriers and manufacturers. Thats a big deal for some people. Assuming you arent put off by the size or the $649 off-contract pricing. Assuming that you dont really want just a phone. | | Because the Nexus 6 isnt a phone. Its a phablet. |
