Why would someone buy a tablet if they already have a smartphone? What's the point?

Why would someone buy a big TV if they can already watch TV on their smartphone? What's the point?

Unironically media consoom machine for normies.
My mom and my grandma only use tablets for their Youtube/Netflix needs and Internet browsing and connect 5 gaming, while they use smartphones for messengers/calls only.

Yeah, a phone and a laptop do everything those things are supposed to do. They might only be useful for some people that work in a warehouse or something like that

There is no point, the thread is full of coping retards.

Just put your phone under a document camera and project it.

There used to be a market subset called phablets, then smartphones just got bigger and became them anyway

Unless you need 10 inches of screen, there's very little point

You people are fucked up.

Now, reading books on a tablet's, that's okay. It's the only reason to get one I can think of.

There are phones that can open up and turn into a tablet, I saw some in china. That country is light years ahead of us.

I bought one instead, it has mobile wifi hotspot functionality. If somebody wants to get ahold of me they can email me or whatever. Only my mom likes to call on the phone lol.

I refused to get one for a long time until I got a free ipad.
The ipad was shit but I saw the light and got a used samsung tablet. Pretty much everything I do on my phone is a better experience on my tablet besides being out and about.

I get your point, software wise it's just like a smartphone, and it's essentially a worse laptop, though the lack of a fixed keyboard makes it more portable, also the bigger screen compared to the smartphone makes it better for content consumption, reading or drawing, so as an artist it's a great tool for me, also for playing video games things like shaders look a lot better on its screen as opposed to the smartphone, using a telescopic controller with it makes it a much nicler handheld too, it's a fun companion device.

It's niche... but the things its good at? It excels at.

This is the right answer. I hate reading books on my big ass screen smartphone. It's still way too small for that task and my screen is like a skateboard. Best portability vs usability.

Watching videos in bed on a tablet with earphones is way nicer too when you don't want the TV screen lighting up the entire room to awaken your girlfriend.

Tablets and phones need better integrated wireless sharing features though without using a computer as a go-between. There are apps for that but it would be better if was a standardized protocol and procedure that could be locked down if enabled.

bigger screen for when I'm watching videos or reading articles while crapping in the toilet. what kind of fucking subhuman enjoys watching shit on a 5-6inch device if they don't have to.

I agree with the sentiment but cheap (READ: Under 700 dollars) don't seem to come with an OLED thus negating their use in the dark at bedtime. Tho I hear the new Redmagic has an OLED but I'm not looking to replace my tablet anytime soon and it is only 9"
