I got a Galaxy Note 3 a couple months ago, the screen is like 3" by 5" but it has about the same functionality as a tablet. The reason I bought it was because I wanted to upgrade from my six year old LG feature phone to a smartphone and also because I don't have a laptop. I'm a sculptor, I spend most of my time out of my apartment in a studio. The tablet functions are incredibly helpful. I do a lot of first draft sketches for jewelry and sculpture on my phone now, and I can incorporate photo collage into those sketches using photoshop touch and autodesk sketchbook. I still prefer to do final draft sketches on paper with pencil, ink, charcoal, marker and paint. It might just be because I'm not yet used to how the surface of the stylus drags on the screen at least not as experienced as the 20 some years I've been drawing on paper. Anyway, another awesome thing my phablet has allowed me to do is create time lapses of my working process and document my work better. It also allows me to access and perform complex calculations on various things I need to know, such as the melting points of various materials, estimating the volume and weight of material I'd need to fill a specific space or mold or create a specific curve or taper on a multipart surface. Taking notes, taking pictures and making notes on them, taking the pictures with notes on them and sketching on top of them to create a plan of what I want to build onto the already existing form and finally now that I'm getting into 3-d printing I can use a few of the apps in development to build a form 3 dimensional and use only my phablet to control a makerbot printing that form. There's a great deal of games, but many of them have the feeling of bejeweled. There are many great games that have been ported, but there are a select few that exist only on tablet that have any real depth. For apps I would recommend Wolfram Alpha, Autodesk Sketchbook and Adobe Photoshop Touch.
