Devices do a lot to improve our lives but us average Americans with our manifold gadgetsnow have a lot to keep track of. The laptops that are still a common sight in offices and living rooms, the phones that are our lifelines, the tablets we fall asleep with, the fitness trackers that keep us healthy and all the other connected devices we can't survive without. So is it any wonder that when an opportunity to combine two or even more devices into a single gadget comes along, we embrace it? That's the phablet.

Nowadays the family without at least one mobile device is something of an anathema. Most individuals have at least one and probably more considering that studies show 42% of American adults own tablets and 58% of American adults have a smartphone. Mobile is hot, with smartphones and tablets now the default second screen used for everything from browsing to gaming to shopping and even watching TV. At this point there's hardly any reason for the average person to sit down in front of a computer or television for dedicated screen time. We have computers right in our pockets, which means everything we used to do at a desk we now do sprawled on the couch or running on the treadmill or standing in the grocery store queue. If we don't order our groceries online, that is.

Phablets - notice the neat portmanteau of the words phone and tablet - occupy the space between smaller smartphones and the largest tablets. Increasingly, they're also edging into fitness tracking and life tracking territory with sensors that measure nearly everything about yourself you could possibly want to quantify. With carriers like T-Mobile offering phablet deals like free 4G LTE data and contract-free service that make upgrading palatable, people are switching to phablets in droves.

Data from apps analytics firm Flurry shows the demand for big phones is twice as large as it was in 2013 and more than twice as many Android devices are large-screened smartphones this year.Flurry also found that bigger devices get more play, which could explain Apple's decision to size up the iPhone with the newly released 6 Plus.

These phones on steroids outsold both laptops and tablets in Asia in 2013, and the US couldbe next if the 'bigger is better' trend continues.Tom Mainelli, program vice president for devices and displays at IDC, told Tech Times that the phablet's ability to do double dutymay just be causing people to question the utility of tablets. And research firm Juniper predicted that phablet sales will rise a whopping 600% in the next four years. Which makes sense, considering that most consumers seem to gravitate toward 7-inch tablets, with 10-inch tablets struggling to keep up and more smartphone manufacturers moving toward the 7-inch sweet spot.

Can a couple of inches really change the tech landscape so dramatically? Many experts and analysts are saying yes. The rise of the phablet could just mean the death of the tablet within the next few years or - more likely - an increasingly blurred line between what is and isn't a phone.

The phablet revolution is important for eCommerce sellers to take note because there is now another screen to focus on when it comes to designing and implementing marketing and advertising materials. The more screens that consumers are able to shop from, the more sales will increase. It is very important to have dynamically-serving websites that are easily assessable across all platforms and screen sizes. What is your business doing to make sure its website is easily stoppable across all devices?

Samsung mobile, one of the world's largest smartphone makers from South Korea launched more mobile phones powered by an Android OS. They would like to justify their emotional reminiscing of 2013.

At the starting of the year, the company launched Galaxy S4 and shipped out globally to connect New York and London (in theory, of course) to announcing the Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Gear and more, 2013 was full of milestones.

Here the infographic designed by Samsung en-titled with " What Samsung Mobile Achieved in 2013? " shows that 40 million Galaxy S4 devices sold in 2013 and more than 100 million devices in their Galaxy S series.

Many mobile plans that providers offer have restrictions on the amount of data loaded from the Internet, but even if you have an unlimited data plan, the provider can adjust the speed of data transmission after exceeding a certain limit of data got.

Smartphone have to download more data ‘cause many applications use the Internet, not mentioning social networking, media resources, web services and e-mail scanning. So how can you properly use tariffs with a restriction on the amount of data transmitted? Here are a few tips to help revise your habits to never overpay.

Control

Before you start trying to reduce the bandwidth consumption it is necessary to clearly understand how much traffic is commonly used. The only way to get this info is to control and monitor traffic usage. That’s how you will find out how much data pass through the phone even when it is not used and only background processes are on.

There are several ways to track data usage on your Android or iOS device. The easiest one is to see the statistics on the device itself. Go to the "Settings" in "Wireless & networks" section and select " Data usage" for the interactive graphic that shows how much data was used during the last month. In addition, it is useful to see the statistics for previous months and the list of applications that use the data to check their consumption.

Besides, some applications provide monthly reports on the use of traffic and consumption analysis.

Avoid video or music streaming

It is probably obvious that audio/video streaming requires significant amount of data, so the less you use it, the more traffic you safe.

Podcasts, music or videos can be downloaded to the device in advance and streamed in an offline mode. When listening to music via the Internet, you can save a little by controlling the bit rate (audio quality).

Check what apps use lots of traffic

Do not forget about other applications that use a lot of traffic: social networks that are constantly updated in the background, games, loading updates and notifications, cloud storages such as Dropbox or Google Drive, seeking to synchronize files. Such apps can use traffic even without notifications.

Forbid apps to get traffic and use Wi-Fi instead

iOS 7 and Android can disable use of data got via the cellular network in certain applications, allowing them to connect only with Wi-Fi connection. It can be rather useful when the apps consume a lot of bandwidth.

If you have access to Wi-Fi its use will save a significant share of mobile traffic. However, the use of Wi-Fi can drain the battery a little faster.

Turn off background apps updates

Android and iOS allow applications to update themselves using mobile connection in the standby mode. And if you have a few dozens of applications, they will be updated almost every day.

Turn off auto sync

In iOS you can take steps to disable synchronization with remote servers using configuration «Settings - Wireless and network - Data usage». In this mode, «Auto sync data» must be disabled. Turn off background updating of applications like Dropbox, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and Twitter in the menu «Settings - Accounts».

Set a limit on traffic consumption

Androids can set an arbitrary limit on traffic consumption based on the data plan. In this case, when the threshold is reached, the application will use the Internet only via Wi-Fi. It is configured in the menu «Settings - Data usage - Set Mobile Data Limit».
