Huawei Ascend Mate vs Huawei Ascend D2 vs Apple iPhone 4S - Sizes Comparison

(GSM Insider) - Huawei Ascend Mate vs Huawei Ascend D2 vs Apple iPhone 4S - Sizes Comparison.

Big is better. This is the main quote for the smartphones in the market. The smartphone is getting larger from day to day and created the new definition known as the phablet. Phablet is between the size of smartphone and tablet.

Huawei Ascend Mate is the largest phablet to-date with its 6.1-inch large display. Huawei Ascend D2 is another phablet that launched by Huawei at the CES 2013. So how big are the Huawei Ascend Mate and Huawei Ascend D2 compare to a smartphone?

The answer is bigger a alot. As you can see from the image above showed the two phablets placed side to side with the "smartphone" iPhone 4S. iPhone 4S features 3.8-inch display that clearly dwarfed by the 6.1-inch and 5-inch display. 

Perhaps it is the time for Apple to re-think its strategy. It is not a good idea to continue at the range of 4-inch for its iPhone lineup in the future.
