Huawei about to take phablets too far with an 8.5-inch model on the way?

Phablets! Love them or hate them, those 5+ inch devices are here to stay and are only getting more popular as the months pass by. But when does 'usefully large' become 'ridiculously big'? Huawei could be on the verge of finding the answer to that out soon if this leaked 8.5-inch tablet phone launches!

I'm personally pretty open minded when it comes to tech. I'm like both iOS and Android, I like the convenience of a small screen phone, and the visuals of a bigger phablet, and I can see the appeal tablets ranging from 7+ inches, but Huawei may have just leaked a device which has me stumped.

The device in this leaked photo is said to be an all new 8.5-inch phablet (tablet phone) which could see the light of day as early as CES next year. Nothing is really known about the phone/tablet/phablet other than it will not fit in your trouser pocket and you WILL be laughed at when using it as a phone.

This is one device I'm having a really hard time getting onboard with, what about you guys?
