    Mobilemaster, 24 Apr 2013http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huawei_Ascend_Mate This is a ... more any size between 5-6.9" is classed as a phablet, google the word phablet since you cannot understand what im saying, it will tell you, your definition does not count, because the general public and wikipedia and online class anything between these sizes a phablet, if it was my opinion then anything over 5.5" and upto 6.9" would be phablet

      Samsung phones are actually water resistant. I've dropped my s3 in a puddle and quickly dried it off, took out the battery and turned it back on several hours later and it worked fine. but the iphone you drop it in a puddle for a fraction of a second and its done.

            Hello
            This is a great news. I just wanted to get an s4 but I will wait for this water proof version.(maybe with that flexible screen to)
            Get it done faster people. S3 and now s4 are the best phones ever. Samsung is really innovating this phones.

              I find it funny, it's like Samsung want to be the best at EVERY SINGLE small feature possible. You won't even be able to say that phone X is slightly better at *some feature* anymore, because there will be no selling points that Samsung will not have covered.

                A lot of scuba divers around here..

                haha, water proof in a phone is the stupidest feature right now, as silly and useless as the features in the S4.

                You ALL ned to grow up

                          This is a phablet. It can not fit in your pocket.

This is going to change I think, because soon many companies will make 5 inches screen phones, and the number is going to rise from 5 inch to 5+ inch(so the standard will change).
                              Why I am saying that a 5 inch screen device is more a phone than a phablet to me? It's simple. A 5 inch screen device can fit much easily in your pocket, than a 5.5 inch screen device. It's also harder to use it with one hand.
                              Now about Tablets:Everybody are calling a 7 inch device a Tablet, and NOT a phablet.
