Phablets are smaller tablets with very big sales projections.
Already there were 20 million phablets shipped in 2013 according to a report by Juniper Research which expects that number to hit 120 million by 2018.
Samsung kicked off the phablet craze with its Galaxy Note series of oversized smartphones that feature a 5-inch or greater tablet-like touchscreen. Juniper Research's definition says a phablet must have a display of at least 5.6 inches.
