Phablets will make up 20% of smartphone shipments in 2019

Samsung may not have been the first company to release a phablet, but it was certainly the first company to release a successful one. Similar to when Apple unveiled the iPad, many people laughed at the idea of the Galaxy Note and claimed it was a silly idea. However, as we know now, it was far from silly and now phablets are expected to make up 20% of all smartphone shipments in 2019.
