With smaller tablets shrinking to 7 inch screens and smartphones rapidly growing in screen size, what really is the difference between a tablet and a smart mobile phone - and which one is right for you?

 

Reasons to choose a tablet

 

The ‘lightweight laptop’: 

 

Tablets allow users to have all the functions of a laptop without the size and weight of one. Perfect for looking for something quickly, online.

 

Big screen viewing:

 

The average tablet screen size is around 10  inches, making TV catch up on iPlayer or watching films on Netflix easy viewing.

 

Similar functions to smartphones:

 

Front facing cameras on tablets now make video calling the perfect feature for keeping in touch with friends and family.

 

Child-friendly: 

 

Tablets are great for children on the move. Long car journeys and flights are made stress-free with games and apps on the go. Check out our child-exclusive tablet, the EE Robin.

 

Connected device:
