big screen phone vs ipad mini?

[energyfirst]

just wonder if Ipad minirequire constant tethering from phone/ wifi etc woudl it be better a big screen phone then? say Samsung Note II or something bigger? does Iphone have any big screen phones?

I have a Galaxy Note 2 and I absolutely love it. Best thing I ever bought!

I'm still on a voyage of discovery with it - had it since last June! It does far more than I need but to have just one device is a real bonus.

I still use a desktop pc but only occasionally, for longer documents, but that's on its last legs so I'll probably replace it with a laptop.

But I've never once wished for a smaller phone - or a larger tablet/screen.

I have an iPhone and an IPad mini. Even though it's easy to tether my mini I find that I tend to make do with the iPhone when I am out and about and I only tend to use my mini when I have a wifi hotspot to use. Tethering drains batteries really fast

The iPhone screen is quite small but I can't say it bothers me too much. I use Siri all the time so I rarely have to use the tiddly keyboard.

Wouldn't an iPhone plus a mini would be a lot more expensive than a samsung noteII

I would go and have a play on a few different phones and see what you think.
