Galaxy Mega Will Have a 6-Inch Screen: Is There a Market?

The Samsung Galaxy Mega reportedly will have a 5.8” screen, with a second device sporting a 6.3-inch screen. Still, some surveys would suggest there is no market for "phablets." 

A recent analysis by Flurry suggests 16 percent of devices used by consumers have screen sizes that are 3.5 inches or fewer in diagonal length. 69 percent of devices are between 3.5 inches and 4.9 inches. About seven percent of the devices are full sized tablets such as the iPad. 

The study suggests 

phablets are a "fad," since only about two percent of users carry them. One might suggest that is not the only way to look at the adoption pattern. One might as well argue that the persistent overall trend for phones is toward larger screen sizes, and that it will take some time for a greater percentage of users to switch to phablet-sized displays.
