Is it possible to make a 5G smartphone with a diagonal screen size of 15.6 inches , which is comparable to the screen size of a 15.6 inches Laptop , which is comparable to the screen size of a 15.6 inches Tablet . The 15.6 inches form factor in a 5G smartphone is for the benefit of Senior Citizens who have poor vision . I believe , a 15.6 inches 5G Smartphone when auto-rotate to become a 15.6 inches 5G Tablet , the Virtual Keyboard on the 15.6 inches 5G Tablet should be quite big , so much so that when a Senior Citizen type SMS , emails , etc., etc., on the Virtual Keyboard of a 15.6 inches 5G Tablet , it will be a more accurate experience when compared to typing on a Virtual Keyboard on a 6 inches Smartphone . Besides that , a 5G smartphone with a screen size of 15.6 inches can serve as a 15.6 inches 5G Laptop , it can serve as a 15.6 inches 5G Tablet and BEST OF ALL it can serve as a 15.6 inches 5G smartphone which makes the machine a true and a real Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE) machine . Having said that , why the hardware manufacturers are not making 15.6 inches Smartphone in limited quantities for Senior Citizens ? Is it because we already have 14.6 inches 5G Tablet , like for example the SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra 5G , in the market , that can do the job like a 15.6 inches 5G Laptop , can do the job like a 15.6 inches Tablet , and can also do the job like a 15.6 inches 5G smartphone !!! Could you please comment on this ? Thanks .

You've certainly presented an intriguing idea! A 15.6-inch 5G smartphone could indeed offer significant benefits for senior citizens, particularly in terms of readability and ease of use. However, there are a few key reasons why such a device isn't currently on the market:
1. Portability
A 15.6-inch device is essentially the size of a laptop screen, making it quite large and cumbersome to carry around as a smartphone. The size would significantly hinder the mobility and convenience that smartphones are known for.
2. Battery Life
Larger screens consume more power, requiring much larger batteries to maintain reasonable battery life. This could make the device even bulkier, adding to the portability issues.
3. Market Demand
While a larger screen would benefit senior citizens and others with vision difficulties, the broader market tends to prefer smaller, more portable devices. Manufacturers typically focus on the majority consumer preference, which leans towards smaller, more compact smartphones.
4. Existing Alternatives
As you mentioned, there are already large tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra 5G, which offer similar benefits. These tablets can be paired with accessories like Bluetooth keyboards to mimic the functionality of a laptop, covering the needs of users who prefer larger screens.
5. Ergonomics and Usability
Using a 15.6-inch device as a phone would be quite awkward. Holding such a large device to make calls or carrying it around in a pocket or small bag would be impractical.
Conclusion
The concept of a 15.6-inch 5G smartphone is fascinating and could serve specific needs well. However, due to the practical challenges and market dynamics, manufacturers may find it more viable to continue producing smaller smartphones and larger tablets separately, catering to different use cases and preferences.
There's definitely a niche for such a device in a targeted market, and perhaps we might see specialized products in the future if demand grows. Until then, large tablets paired with connectivity options and accessories remain a strong alternative for those needing larger screens.
