GOOGLE'S PHABLET SHAMU TO BE LAUNCHED THIS MONTH
Google is all set to release its next "Phablet" with a 5.9-inch screen and a high-resolution display in October to intensify competition in the fast-growing market for super-sized mobile devices.
Named after a killer whale Shamu , the new Nexus phone will be larger than Apple's iPhone 6 Plus (5.5 inches) and Samsung Galaxy Note (5.7 inches). Until now, the largest Nexus phone is the Nexus 5, which measures five inches.
The flagship phablet for Android may help Google reach new customers in emerging markets who are not online yet and don’t own a computer. Phablets are capable enough to satisfy the needs of such new Internet users. Phablets can satisfy customers who yearn for pocket computers and bypass desktops and laptops.
Google hopes to deliver a Nexus phone that rivals the iPhone 6 Plus on display quality but at a lower price
In 2011, phablets accounted for 1% of global smartphone shipments. This year, these big phones will make up 24% of the market, according to consultants Strategy Analytics. Google also plans to release a new version of its Android mobile-operating system simultaneously
