If you thought that big devices like the Galaxy Mega 6.3 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/02/samsung-galaxy-mega-review/) were already blurring the distinctions between phones and tablets, hold on to your hat -- Samsung has just erased those distinctions altogether. Its new Galaxy W (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ko&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fabout.samsung.co.kr%2Fabout%2FnewsV iew.do%3FcurrentPage%3D1%26seq%3D128412%26validfla g%3D%26category%3D%26periodType%3D%26startSearchDa te%3D%26endSearchDate%3D%26searchAffiliateSeq%3D%2 6searchValue%3D&edit-text=) (not to be confused with the 2011-era W (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/24/samsung-debuts-new-galaxy-lineup-refines-naming-strategy-along/)) blends the 7-inch screen of a small tablet with a relatively compact design that lets you hold it one-handed for phone calls. This isn't the first crossover we've seen by any means, but it promises to be more comfortable than truly finger-straining rivals like ASUS' Fonepad 7 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/04/asus-fonepad-7-hands-on-2013/) or HP's 7-inch VoiceTab (http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/23/hp-voicetabs-hands-on/).
