Since you've run away from everything posted above this, I'll snip it out for brevity.

:-)

But I'm guessing that right about now, you'll start shifting the goalposts and adding yet another constraint on your definition.

:-)

Harry Mudd the Anti-Fanboy
Nope. the Note 8 has a screen size that exceeds what is generally considered a phablet screen size.

Alan Baker
Generally considered by whom besides yourself now that it suits your argument?

Harry Mudd the Anti-Fanboy
That's not something that just now suits my argument, it's been my argument for months.

Alan Baker
Failure to answer the question.

Harry Mudd the Anti-Fanboy
I didn't answer your question because it was based on a flawed premise.

Alan Baker
Fine: Generally considered by whom besides yourself?

Now you'll have to find another excuse to run away.

TechFeed calls it an '8" phablet'

Harry Mudd the Anti-Fanboy
I don't care what Techfeed calls it.

Alan Baker
And yet you've never provide a source for who "generally considers" to have too big a screen...

So does TechAdvisor:

Harry Mudd the Anti-Fanboy
So what? Did they design the phone? Nooooope. Even if they did, it's still too big to be a phablet.

Alan Baker
And yet you've never provide a source for who "generally considers" that to be so...

'Samsung Galaxy Note 8 video review - 8in phablet is good, but expensive'

Harry Mudd the Anti-Fanboy
Don't care what pcadvisor says either. It ain't a real phablet.

Alan Baker
Hmmm... ...all these techs sites agree it's a phablet, but a fan boy says it isn't a "real" one.

Harry Mudd the Anti-Fanboy
I mean really, c'mon. Those tech sites have hopped on an industry buzzword regardless if it is inaccurately used. As if that is the first time it has ever happened... ...imagine that.

Still waiting for your sources that add up to "generally considered".

So far, you have Wikipedia, which explicitly uses langage that allows for larger screens.
