Motorola rejects the manufacture of phablets for the moment according to your Head of Design. The American mobile manufacturer recently acquired by Google thus stands out from a wave of companies that are diving headlong into devices of screen sizes greater than 5 inches. This Asian craze has spread to flagship phones from major companies. It's not just about building a large product line, but the options for small, high-end phones are reduced.
In a recent interview with PC Magazine, Jim Wicks, Motorola's Chief Designer, talked about the X Phone that his company is developing for Google. About this device he said that they will keep the idea of ​​Google products with a thin bezel and a sturdy casing. As for their Droids, they will continue to manufacture them in the future with their design line. When it comes to future tablet projects, Wicks did not release a pledge.
He clarified that the X Phone will not carry any layer of software above pure Android, all authentically Google without customization.
In a more thoughtful moment of the interview, he appreciated the wars companies are having over specifications and hardware. Products are offered with tremendous specifications and sometimes the user experience, where software is paramount, is neglected. In this sense, the obsession with bizarre-sized screens responds to a competition for quantity It is not known if it is always accompanied by quality.
The trend of phablets is growing and it is true that it is surprising to see the little use that is given to those huge screens beyond greater comfort in the tactile gesture, which on the other hand sacrifice mobility. In this sense, the Premium Suite that Samsung applies to its Galaxy Note deserves to be highlighted, however, we do not know if the newcomers Galaxy Mega have this layer of software so appropriate to its size.
In short, it is important to see that in Motorola they reflect on the use of screen size calmly in contrast to a certain impulsiveness that we see in the sector.
