6 best large screen smartphones

The rating of this phablet would be even higher, provide its developers with convenient switching of the interface to one-handed operation. Alas, this moment is not thought out by them, no less than some questions of ergonomics. For example, with the available thickness and width of the body, even moderately sharp side faces are irrelevant, and the combination of 2.5D glass and a large radius of rounding edges simply does not produce any other result.

A less obvious “minus” of design is associated with the traditional for Xiaomi products location of the fingerprint scanner on the back of the smartphone. In the case of compact devices, the finger “finds” the appropriate platform without any problems, but sometimes the phablet will have to be intercepted. The remaining shortcomings are not so important and typical for the majority of inexpensive model lines of the company. As for the advantages of Mi Max 2, in addition to a solid diagonal, they clearly include a capacious rechargeable battery. The performance of the "stuffing" is not record-breaking and is unlikely to allow you to enjoy the gaming beauty at the maximum quality settings of the graphics, but you can not call it low-power.

In second place in the ranking of the best phablets - Lenovo Phab2 Pro. Slowly and inevitably virtual reality penetrates into our everyday life. In the case of the Phab2 Pro, this is the Tango AR technology that allows you to scan the available space, form a 3D model of the environment and control the mutual movement of objects within it. All this is done with the help of a mass of various sensors and a pair of separated cameras. It is assumed that someday smartphones with such "chips" will be useful to their owners as a kind of navigators and trackers on little-known buildings. For example, in a museum ☺. As long as the corresponding public places are not ready for such a service, the smartphone can be used to remotely measure dimensions, as well as to implement other interesting functions (after installing the necessary applications, including special games).

The traditional capabilities of the recommended smartphone are also very worthy: a relatively productive platform, a 2K display, a solid battery capacity, support for all 4G frequencies on which domestic telecom operators can work (modification PB2-690M).

Meizu did not consider it necessary to release a modification of the first in its history phablet with a memory capacity of less than 64 GB. It's a pity, since 32 “gig” would be enough for him. The fact is that the gaming potential of this smartphone is not too high, and the characteristics of the installed photo module do not allow to count on especially high-quality images. At least in low light conditions. But this model can be safely recommended to fans to watch the video or look through the photo albums of friends through the Internet. The screen of the M3 Max is excellent and, what is most valuable, practically has no parasitic shades, and its default color temperature settings are close to ideal. The advantages of phablet include the most convenient mTouch multifunction key with built-in fingerprint scanner. Assessing its practicality, few people want to return to the traditional touch buttons. Finally, unlike the Xiaomi offer discussed above, the Meizu smartphone works on all 4G bands used by our telecom operators. In any place where there is only adequate coverage, fast internet is provided for it.

A good smartphone with a large screen is not at all obliged to have a body of increased “dimensions”, and the current flagship of Samsung perfectly illustrates this thesis. Due to the non-standard aspect ratio (18.5: 9), as well as the trend for frameless, 6.3 inches of Galaxy Note 8 diagonal do not prevent this phone from being ergonomic for users with palms of various sizes. Continuing the theme of the display, we note that it has the widest dynamic range (supports the HDR10 standard), has a very high maximum brightness and is able to display a picture in all the beauty of the DCI-P3 color gamut.

Naturally, the cost of such a miracle of technology does not please, but the truly great skills of photo / video part of phablet and its advanced electronic pen support system allow us to reconcile with the price tag. The top characteristics of the "stuffing" of the smartphone are meant simply by default. We emphasize - the version of the device on the Exynos chip is "more musical", and on the Snapdragon 835 it is "fuller" in terms of supporting NFC technology.

With the right approach, phablets in the classic version can also be comfortable - proven by Samsung engineers. Compared to the same Mi Max 2, discussed above, a large-format smartphone from South Koreans can switch to one-handed mode by triple-pressing Home, and the sound is turned off by simply turning the device face down. The fingerprint scanner embedded in this key is more practical from different points of view. The best option can only be its on-screen performance, but the equipment has not yet reached this level of development. At least, to serial and mass available implementation. A relatively decent camera part, a productive hardware platform, an individual slot for a memory card, a couple of useful "chips", such as the Always-On Display function and a few drops of tar - as without them. First of all, I would like a better protection from moisture and dust. Secondly, the volume and power buttons for some reason are located on opposite sides. There are claims to the default screen resolution when running many toys. Finally, a very controversial implementation of the acoustic path. The speakers simply reproduce different frequency ranges, although with headphones, everything sounds very impressive.

BBK Electronics Group of Companies is making a second attempt to promote the products of its best-selling brand to our market and started it from the mid-price range, which has very interesting photo capabilities. The OPPO F5 large-screen smartphone is positioned as an expert in self-help, and its 20-megapixel front camera is paired with SelfieTune technology in this noble business. And this is not some kind of primitive “beautifier”, but a powerful intellectual system, whose work is based on neural principles of information processing. It is assumed that the camera builds a 200-point model of the face, and the corresponding software compares it with the existing cloud base. And only after a thorough analysis of several criteria, is the improvement of the removed “face” made. However, the front module takes high-quality photos and without all of the above, including in low light. Finally, the main module of the smartphone is also quite good. And the OPPO F5 screen has a very good 18: 9 screen, a lot of RAM and an impressive list of supported LTE bands.
