As 2013 draws to a close and we are all set to welcome 2014, there some exciting and interesting developments lined up in the technology industry. The year 2013 saw large-screen sleek Android phones like Samsung Galaxy Note and Sony Xperia Z 2 Ultra, prove one definite thing that there is a huge market for such devices. far, Apple has resisted taking its iconic iPhone range into the fast-emerging phablet space. However, the smartphone segment has never demonstrated or justified the concept of one size fits all. There are several indications that Apple’s Tim Cook might be seriously thinking of embracing the new trend of big screen devices. What poses as a severe threat to iOS range from Apple is the immensely popular Galaxy series from Samsung. The build quality of Galaxy series devices is probably the only department where they lag behind from Apple. So far, the South Korean handset maker has made its flagship phones in feeble polycarbonate. However, if reports are anything to go by, then this is set for a major overhaul in the year 2014. The Windows Phone OS has come of age and now is a strong contender to Android and Apple iOS.
