Is there a mega phone or small tablet like phone?
on: March 09, 2014, 05:01:44 PM
Ive got a 7 inch android galaxy tablet that my wife loves.  She wants something like that but a full phone as well.  So is there a 7 inch tablet that takes a SIM card, and can be used for texting, phone calls, and the usual stuff?

I showed her the galaxy note phone but she said it wasnt big enough.

There's a Galaxy Mega but it is only 6.3 in.

I think the Galaxy Note is perhaps the biggest phone available right now.  I had pretty much the same issue. I'd rather carry around a big phone rather than a phone and a tablet.

I'll be interested in seeing what suggestions anyone else comes up with.

Oh, and there are options- you can get an LTE capable tablet and use a VOIP phone like Skype or something fornyour calls.

Sony Xperia Z Ultra is 6.4 inches :D

There's a Galaxy Note 8 coming out with phone capability.

There's also a Asus FonePad 7in that was recently announced.

I was looking on ebay.  This says you can make calls from it and takes a sim card.

Does that seem right, or is the seller mistaken?

Yup. It uses a micro sim. Looks to only be 2G and 3G though. No LTE

It has 850 and 1900 bands so it should work in Canada.

The galaxy mega is about the size of an ipad mini, it makes my note 2 look small.
