It's about what I would or could use it for that I wouldn't use a phone for. I don't want a giant phone. I don't really enjoy watching videos/movies on a phone. For home control I don't need anything but wifi and maybe Bluetooth and I'm not interested in paying smartphone prices for the privilege. Same thing for viewing weather or schedules at a glance. Having that functionality to check on a smart phone is fine. Useful. Having it on a tablet where I can glance at it while getting dressed is better. And the speakers are generally better with better battery life (more space for a bigger battery) on a tablet. If you don't have the use case for a piece of tech, of course it doesn't make sense.
I guess that is what I am doing: searching for a use case, but the smartphone remains undefeated!
The only use case that I can find is to use it as a backup laptop: in the event I lose or break the laptop, i could get by with a tablet.
Although i could also get by with the smartphone 🤔
Undefeated for you. I take it you don't work in a place where smartphones are not allowed. Or where it would be inconvenient to use a smart phone, but more convenient to use a watch or tablet (out to sea on a ship for instance). There's plenty of use cases. If you're looking for them for yourself I'm not sure we're likely to be able help you with that. If you're wondering why they're on the market at all, then it's because other people do have a use for them.
