Price is a decisive factor for virtually every consumer electronic product these days, and superphones and phablets are no exception. With manufacturers having achieved economies of scale for superphones and phablets, the price point of these products has slid down to record levels. Naturally, this will lead to an uptick in sales of both these devices. However, many models still feature AMOLED displays, which prevent phablets and superphones from being priced even lower. Yet another factor that stands in the way of the market's growth is the complex operability of these devices.

The report also notes that superphones held about 88% of the global phablets and superphones market. However, sales of phablets are catching up, which could cause the current share of superphones to shrink over the next few years. However, this will only be a marginal rise, and not enough to threaten the current dominant position of superphones. TMR analysts expect that by 2018, superphones would still constitute about 70% (volume terms) of the combined market for phablets and superphones.
