Voice Calling Tablets vs Smartphones: Which One is Better?



Smartphones and tablets, both of these have their own strengths and weakness. while smartphones have reached the mass market with some massive hits, the voice calling tablets are poised to do the same, there was a time where people had a different approach towards them, but now the thought of including the voice calling changed everything. though the voice calling tablets and mobile phones offer the same functionality, users behaviour differ greatly from expectation to experience. with evolving features and ever growing functionality, and also considering the situational needs, there are many unique differences in users behaviour.



Here's why I think tablets with calling feature will replace smartphones! 
Many of you might oppose the fact here, but let me give an explanation for the statement, the main and the primary reason is our dependence on mobile media consumption is increasing day by day, take movies-YouTube videos or any other multimedia, which is readily accessible on mobile devices, when the access is simple screen size, picture quality become more important to us. Why watch the content on small screens with low picture clarity when there is a scope of watching the same on Full HD screen with much better quality and portable at the same time. There are many with the same question in their head, and I believe this the reason is enough to drive people towards tablets than smartphones, although more components like bigger battery, loudspeakers are additional benefits, recently in the survey, 79% of People Opt for smartphone with bigger size, many app developers around the globe design apps especially for tablets and launch them exclusively, amazon first rolled out instant video app to iPad before bringing it to smaller size smartphones.

Voice calling tablets are here now, once upon a time tablets were just used for multimedia purpose, but now with the inclusion of voice calling feature to tablets, gave a required boost to replace smartphones, but you might be wondering, holding a tablet near to your ear while answer a call which is a heavy task to do, but you can always take advantage of speakerphone, wired headphones, and Bluetooth, these solutions were used on smartphones for many years now, and nothing funny in using them now also. Our love towards video calls continues to grow, and I've made a couple of video calls, the performance was impressive which makes me say again why low screen, why low picture clarity? Trust me the video calls were the best, trust me, I never had such an impressive experience on my laptop.

I prefer using a tablet over the smartphone, why? I read a lot, browse, check my emails, nearly everything I do on my laptop. Documents or book pages appear in their full form, enhancing the reading experience, the tablet interface impressed me big time. GPS navigations have never been so awesome! The bigger display makes the navigations easy and so simple, and clear, unlike the smartphone where I had to zoom in a lot. Another aspect which impressed me is the gaming experience I used to play games on a compact size smartphones and wonder how cool the graphics are, Now That I've played on a tablet, I'll just say, gaming on tablets is 5 times better than on smartphones, the display is big, the graphics look realistic, to simplify a tablet sets a proper environment for amazing gaming.  Yeah, I agree tablets also have some drawbacks like the camera and video shooting. Some of the tablets aren't capable enough as smartphones, to capture/record decent images and videos (Note that I said only some, But not all). There are few tablets which can capture great images and record cool videos, the reason why I mentioned it as a drawback is, not everyone can afford high-end tablets which come with great cameras, some choose a decent budget tablets which lack great camera.

There might be a lot of opposition out there for the statement, saying who will carry a tablet around all the time when we have a smartphone, which fits the pocket, well my advice for them is just give it a try you might end up changing your opinion. Here are some of the international shipment report which suggest people are now showing interest towards tablets, I won't say rather than smartphones. According to IDC The Tablet Shipping Was up by 4.4% in 2014 when compared with 2013, the report also says that 234.5 million units will be shipped by the end of year 2015.

Concluding, voice calling tablets are giving very tough competition to smartphones, a tablet can do all the things a smartphone and a laptop can so, this is how I justify my statement by comparing voice calling tablets with smartphones

Know How To Enable Guest Mode on Android Phones

Privacy plays a prominent role in our lives and when it comes to smartphones, we don't want others accessing our private content, but sometimes we stand in situations where we need to hand over our android phone to someone else, if you are in the same situation, then there is great chance that you are worried about your privacy. luckily google got the same thought and found a better solution for this, "The Guest Mode" this feature is included in every smart phone that ships with android 5.0 lollipop. the guest mode simply switches to a guest profile which doesn't contain any of your data, installed apps, messages, contacts, etc. in simple, it completely looks like a fresh os with factory default settings, once you switch back to your main google account your data will be available, and data saved in guest mode will be deleted automatically. I must say its a life saver API program from google. if in case you are not using android 5.0 lollipop, then some you must check for pre-loaded guest mode, brands like Xiaomi, LG, Samsung, pre-load tweaked version of guest mode to their devices, if in case you are using an android phone which is manufactured by either of these brands then the best possible way to protect your content is to use third party apps and lock down your content. if you are using a lollipop then you must know how to enable/disable this feature, so let's get into details,


How To Enable Guest Mode on Android:
  1. Swipe down the notification bar, 
  2. there you can see your image avatar--Tap that
  3. On tapping the avatar, you will see three options there
  4. "ADD USER, ADD GUEST"
  5. now if you want you can add your another account to device by choosing Add user
  6. click on Add guest to enable guest mode

Disabling the guest mode is as simple as enabling, all you have to do is, just swipe down the notification bar again and tap on avatar and choose your gmail account directly, once you have disabled the guest mode, all the data that is saved in guest mode will be deleted automatically. see how simple the process of protecting your data is. but if you are not using any lollipop device, as i mentioned choose any third-party app lock applications you want to protect.
