Many companies are widely deploying Android devices on field. There is always a debate between whether to arm the team with Android Phones or use Android Tablets.
Here are some points to be considered:
Price Point
There is a continuous competition between phones and tablets for lowest price point. As a rule cheapest phones are about 10-15% lower than cheapest tablets.
Screen Size
No brainer- Tablets give much more scope for data capture in easier way due to larger screen size
Battery Life
This is important as field will need longer batter life. Here too tablets score as they have a larger battery but also a larger screen to light up !!
Dual use as data and voice device
Tablets will need blue tooth or a hands free whereas you can do without one in case of phone.
Handling
It is easier to carry a handset as compared to tablet. Special sleeve may be needed for protection of tablet.
