Explanation / Answer

So, unless you're looking for a productivity luxury, just a smartphone does almost everything that a tablet does, if not more. Having a larger smartphone makes it very advantageous to you as it reduces the number of items you need to carry. Another tablet need not be carried around, and along with it it's charger and any other accessories. It provides you a calling and messaging option and internet usage remotely due to the network carrier.

A smartphone, with it's smaller screen offers limited entertainment options when it comes to multimedia and gaming. It's battery life is also limited due to its reduced size. Howeverm witht he increase in the size of an avergae smartphone and the increased capacity of batteries and data storage options available, the sales of smartphones will definitiely reduce the sales of tablets.

Having a smaller smarthphone and a tablet is a definite must for leisure purposes as the gaming and multimedia options provided by a smartphone are limited. Increased screen size, advanced operating systems and better speakers make a tablet the clear winner. The only drawback is that a tablet is not as portable as a smartphone.
