Phablet owners won’t be able to use the Falout 4 Pip-Boy

Every Fallout fan out there has dreamed of having their own Pip-Boy, and as Bethesda announced at this year’s E3, those dreams will finally be able to come true. There’s going to be a wearable Pip-Boy included in the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Edition that you’ll be able to slip your smartphone into and use. The problem is, those of us with an over sized phone like the Galaxy Note or iPhone 6 Plus won’t be able to fit our devices inside. 

The wearable Pip-Boy included in the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Edition is sweet hotness, especially since you can stick your phone inside it and do “real” Pip-Boy stuff with a companion app for iPhone and Android devices. But bear this in mind: If you have one of those really big phones that people with no sense of irony sometimes call a phablet, it’s not going to fit. It’s not something that I (and, I would guess, a lot of other people) had thought about, but popular devices like the iPhone 6+ and the Samsung Galaxy Note are simply too big to go inside the Pip-Boy. “The Pip-Boy included will have foam inserts that fit iPhone 6, iPhone 5/5s, iPhone 4/4S, Samsung Galaxy 5, and Samsung Galaxy 4. In addition, using the customizable foam insert you should be able to fit most other popular smartphone devices,” Bethesda wrote. “As we wanted to stay faithful to the dimensions of the in-game model, any smartphones larger than the models listed will not fit inside the wearable device.”
