Why are all phones smaller than 7"?

Android@lemmy.world – -37 points – 7 months ago

Is it a rule imposed by the phone carriers, who want you to buy a different plan with no voice service if you have a tablet? It can't be the phone makers since the are so many. It can't be Android software licenses since Apple seems affected too. I'd be pretty interested in a tablet sized phone. But they seem to have maxed out in the current tall skinny format that is not really big enough for some things. Just wondering.

Edit: aha, I managed to get rid of the stupid photo. Thanks for the help.

I have no clue why you had to include an image, but it appears you broke rule 6 in doing so.

I haven't owned many tablets so far, but can't you get some tablets with SIM-slots? What would prevent one from just using such a tablet as a phone?

They don't know how to change Voyagers default post type.

Yes, I have a tablet with a Sim. I use it frequently when I do field work and leave my phone at work. It looks stupid when I make a call though.

Thanks, I managed to get rid of the photo and also found the post type tab when posting from voyager. Will remember it for next time.

I don't know Voyager but maybe you should try Eternity.
