The word is a blend word or portmanteau of phone and tablet. In general, during the 2010 era, people mostly prefered small size smartphones of 4 inches around. This is due to previously they were using basic mobile phones and not ready to go to a larger screen size immediately similar to then introducing Tablet sizes which will not easily fit into the pocket or hand-purse (for ladies) even if there is SIM or no SIM option.

Thus, 4 plus inches smartphones were popular at that time though the configuration or technical specifications with main features were lower in comparison to today's date obviously.

Phablets were not that successful due to various reasons and one of them is that the 6 plus inches display is heavier to carry around at that time against 4 to 5 inch screen smartphones usage, less buyer, little extra price, low configuration compared to that time smartphone and fewer brand hardly introduces it.

The Smartphones' brand gradually increased the Smartphone sizes from 4-inches to 5 and then 6 and on. If you observe Apple's iPhone from iPhone 5, iPhone 6, iPhone 8 and on with the Pro version then you would feel how the brand gradually increased its size in a decade to match the trend with the latest features. Not only Apple, you can check other brands' different series devices to know the differences in the past decade. 

However, we can understand that Phablet size has been overtaken by Smartphones since a few years ago. You would see almost the same sizes of the smartphones except the latest features in them.
