It is a force that we do not neglect. “ A Flurry / Comscore study cited by Samsung, users of a phablet (smartphone unit to the cross and tablet) spend 59% more time to work with their device than those with d a smaller screen. What a spot well exploit the Korean manufacturer by offering a new version of the device best suited to “change makers”, these users with a “entrepreneurial mindset who work with their smartphone” , according to marketing director.

It is true that the professional segment is positioned on both a retrofit market but also across logical to primary equipment of “digitizing” activities. According Falgeres Thibault, the use of a smaller than a tablet device, and therefore easier to handle while providing a sufficiently efficient user experience, expanding professional practice and improves customer relationships. “You can, for example, to sign the recipient of a parcel directly on the Note” , he illustrates.
