In case someone was wondering how far mobile manufacturing companies could go in terms of screen size, in Huawei They seem prepared to solve our doubts: 8.5 inches. Although it is hard to believe, this would be the size that, according to the latest leaks, the next "phablet”From the Chinese company.

When Samsung presented its Galaxy Note, with a screen of 5.3 inches, skepticism was prevalent: too big to be functional as a mobile, too small to compete with other tablets. However, it seems that time has proved the South Koreans right and it has been shown that there is a market for this type of device and that many users do not consider a screen of more than 5 inches as something excessive in a mobile.

As we discussed earlier, this appears to have encouraged the company to put an even larger panel on its Galaxy Note 2, with 5.5 inches, and, again, it has been a success: more than 5 million units of this terminal have already been sold. However, when filtered out that next Galaxy Note 3 could come with a screen of nothing more and nothing less than 6.3 inches Many people have begun to think that perhaps he was already going too far, but even to those who did not find this strange, they are probably clutching their heads with the idea of ​​a phablet arriving at 8.3 inches, as I would supposedly plan Huawei. It is inevitable to question to what extent such a device can be considered a phablet no matter how much it has the possibility of making calls. Let's think that the iPad mini, the largest compact tablet on the market (at almost 8 inches) would be even smaller than this supposed phablet.

Huawei had already garnered media attention when he announced that he would launch a phablet de 6.1 inches, the Huawei Ascend Mate, what will come at the beginning of 2013, long before the rumor of Samsung's 6.3-inch screen began to circulate. The news of the new device, however, is far from being officially confirmed as that one was and comes to us through SlashGear, which has echoed the leaks of a Russian specialized media in which, according to Android Authority, has a fairly long history of confirmed leaks, so it seems, in principle, that it should be given some credibility. However, there are reasons to think that perhaps in Huawei have not completely lost their minds, judging by the pictures that would prove the existence of the device and that it doesn't really seem to reach that spectacular size. In some media, on the other hand, they consider that it is probably a prototype that in no case will see the light of day on the market. As always, we will have to wait to see if new confirmations appear to guarantee that the leak.
