The worlds of tablets and phones are converging. Nowadays some mobile phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S4 with its five inch screen, the Samsung Note II with is 5.5 inch screen, and the Huawei Ascend Mate with its 6.1 inch screen are effectively micro-tablets. At the other side, tablets such as the 7 inch Galaxy Tab and the 7 inch Asus FonePad have built-in 3G phones. The question of which device is a mobile phone and which is a tablet is rapidly becoming semantic.
It seems that a large majority of phone and tablet users play games on their devices, and most people who have both a tablet and a mobile phone prefer using the former for gaming. This is hardly surprising; with a larger display the tablet is always going to be able to deliver a better gaming experience. However when it comes to the phones with the larger displays the differences become less important, especially when you play games using devices such as the S4 which has a higher pixel density than the fourth generation iPad.
In terms of processing power, modern smartphones and tablets have plenty of it for playing online games. In fact the latest smartphones which have quad core 1.6 GHz processors have it in abundance. You can play www.jackpotcity.co.uk/mobile-casino/iphone-casino games such as roulette and slots on relatively unsophisticated mobile phones, and you don’t need loads of computing power for streaming multiplayer games form the cloud, but if you play big games with lots of graphic content such as massively multiplayer online games such as World of War Craft then you will benefit from playing on a device with a decent sized display.
Soon we might stop differentiating between phones and tablets, but it is to be hoped that the terrible name that is being used to describe them will die a death; after all would you want to play online games on a “phablet”? We hope not.
