Oh my goodness, so much ignorance on display here.

Who exactly was Samsung copying with the phablet and large screen phones?

Apple has much more control over the app development process and until recently had laughable multitasking abilities.

So you're saying that LTE was around before big screen phones? That's interesting because I'm pretty sure that it was actually the opposite way around. Also, doesn't having a larger screen just drain more battery? If Samsung were smarter then they could have kept the screen size the same and just made the phone thicker! I guess they never thought of that.

Nope, I'm pretty sure the reason why the phones are large is because that is what the market is demanding. Is 2GB of RAM really that much bigger than 1GB of RAM?

Or maybe they were just innovating?
