If you think this phablet is big, wait'll you see the EV that Samsung appears to be contemplating. 

Samsung's moved successfully from TVs to phones, and somewhat less successfully to watches, so why not a car? A Wall Street Journal report says the Korean consumer electronics giant filed patents for parts that include a new electric motor and tires designed for an electric vehicle (EV). The patents were filed with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office and Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information Service.

The same report also mentions patents for a vehicle that would control the car based on your current medical condition, or based on your medical history.
