It’s time to go big or go home with a screen 5.5 inches or larger. We’ve compared the top smartphones for screen size, HD display and processor power to help you find the best phablet for you.
Samsung Galaxy S10+
Watch your favourite movies come alive on the 6.4-inch cinematic Infinity-O Display, and enjoy a bezel-less view when browsing your picture gallery – the dual front camera is hidden behind a punch-hole notch in the screen’s corner. Get true-to-life colours and pinsharp details with the WQHD+ screen that makes your augmented reality games feel real.
Full-screen display experience
The Google Pixel 3 XL features an amazing 6.3-megapixel big screen that fills almost the entire front of the phone, with its colour-rich display stretching edge-to-edge to the curved corners. Thanks to the high-resolution OLED screen technology, blacks are deeper – and power consumption is lower. And Colour Management automatically switches to the proper colour gamut so your images appear with the correct colours, never over- or under-saturated.
The largest iPhone screen ever
iPhone XS Max features Apple’s largest screen to date. The gorgeous 6.5-inch edge-to-edge OLED display takes up almost the whole front of the phone – with rounded corners that follow a beautifully curved design.
