Almost everybody has a smartphone and a tablet for personal use. Most people can make a clear line about which one they use the most. Everyone is different and usually use them for different purposes.
I own a smartphone and a tablet and I use them differently. My smartphone I use mainly when I am on the go and away from home. Once I get home, I put my phone in my pocket in case I get a call or text but it usually stays there. I use my tablet for surfing the web and watching movies when the main TV in my house is occupied.
Since the screen on the tablet is larger, it is easier to read and watch movies on rather than my smartphone that fits in my pocket. Another reason I use my tablet more is so I do not degrade the battery inside my smartphone. It stands to reason, the less I use the battery the longer it will last. I depend on my phone more than my tablet so I am more inclined to use it over my smartphone.
Since smartphones no longer have the ability to remove their battery, most consumers are left with buying a new one once the battery dies. If they could be exchanged, most people would probably still be using old version of their current phone. That would mean less money for smartphone manufacturers.
I think the method that I employ is something most people should do if they are able to. Put the smartphone away while at home and only use it for emergencies while using their tablet in its stead. That way, the battery will be preserved and you won’t have to buy a newer phone sooner than you absolutely need too.
Are you like me and switch to using a tablet at home? Are there any other devices that you use like I do my tablet? If so, what is it?
