The best big screen phones of 2022

Recently, a branch of smartphones called “phablets“. The name is a borrowed word from English phablet, which in turn came from the addition of two words: phone (phone) and tablets (tablet). Indeed, they are larger than standard smartphones, but slightly smaller than tablets. Phablets are an intermediate link between these two types of mobile devices. ” Healthy Food Near Me” has compiled its list of the best phablets or phones with a large screen with a diagonal of 6.5 inches.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max 256GB

Right at the top of our list is a new model from Apple. The new “firmware” received an enlarged display compared to the Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max with the same external dimensions. This means that the screen takes up a little more area on the body – the phone began to look more organic. Despite the high price of the device, its screen does not support a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which is a bit surprising.

This model uses the new and optimized Apple A14 Bionic processor, which performs well in post-processing photos. In theory, this processor supports 5G communications, but when it will appear in Our Country is unknown.

Top 9 rating according to KP

1. OnePlus 8T 12/256GB

The developers clearly focused on the technical component of the phone, but did not forget about the design. Buyers will be able to choose a phone from 6 body color options at once. The smartphone fits comfortably in the hand due to thin and slightly beveled edges.

The OnePlus 8T is powered by a Snapdragon processor, which was also installed in the previous model. Despite this, its power is enough for both demanding games and smooth operation of the screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The main drawback of OnePlus 8T is now called the camera, but the developers assure that the problem is in the software, which they will soon bring to mind.

A separate pride of OnePlus engineers is the 8T fast charging system. A 100% battery of 4500 mAh will be charged in a little more than half an hour.

2. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 256GB

An ideal option for buyers who are fed up with standard phone shapes. The main feature of this phablet is its form factor. The smartphone unfolds into a real tablet with a screen diagonal of 7.6 inches. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 can also be used halfway open, at which point it becomes like a small laptop.

3. XiaomiPoco X3 NFC 6/128GB

A great option for a combination of price and quality. For about 20 thousand rubles, you will get a solid device with good cameras for its price, NFC, a bright design and adequate technical characteristics.

So, a high-quality FullHD screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, 6 gigabytes of RAM and an NFC contactless payment module are installed here (you can link a bank card and pay and pay for purchases directly from the phablet). The developers have retained the ability to connect wired headphones without a special adapter.

Perhaps the only thing that can confuse XiaomiPoco X3 NFC is the plastic case. However, it provides the phone with minimal water and dust protection of IP53.

4. ASUS RogPhone 3 12/512GB

The best device for those who need a gaming smartphone with a large screen. No matter how skeptical they are about mobile entertainment, the demand for phones for gamers creates a supply. ASUS RogPhone 3 is essentially a unique phablet – now it is one of the most productive devices on the market.

Together with a huge battery, an external cooling system and special software, the smartphone easily bypasses all “non-gaming” competitors. The calm design of the smartphone does not give out a gaming monster in it – this will please those who do not want to catch surprised looks on the subway.

5. Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

The very idea of ​​phablets became popular after the release of the Note line from this Korean manufacturer.

There is already a “smart” stylus, a smooth display and a large amount of internal memory, which is already traditional for the model. The new model also has a high-quality camera for shooting objects in the distance.

6. HUAWEI Mate 40 Pro

In the middle of our selection of the best big-screen phones is HUAWEI’s excellent camera phone. The main trump card of this model is the combination of excellent optics from LEICA and proprietary photo processing technologies. The pictures are just great – with the right color reproduction, detailed and colorful.

The entire front of the HUAWEI Mate 40 Pro is occupied by a 6.76-inch AMOLED display. Due to the rounded side edges, the screen borders are not visible.

This phablet has a fairly capacious battery – 4400 mAh with fast charging function. The processor here is of its own production Huawei Kirin 9000, powerful and adapted to “native” hardware.

The main disadvantage of HUAWEI Mate 40 Pro is the lack of standard services from Google. All applications will have to be installed from the manufacturer’s proprietary market or come up with other ways to circumvent restrictions. But, it is possible that some users, on the contrary, will be happy about it.

7. ASUS Zenfone 7 ZS670KS 8/128GB

This model from Asus will definitely satisfy all the desires of even the most fastidious user. It has a powerful Snapdragon 865 processor, a high-quality screen and 8 GB of RAM. But the main feature of this model was an unusual camera module. In fact, the Zenfone 7 does not have a full-fledged selfie camera, but it is perfectly replaced by the main optics, which extends from the top of the smartphone and rotates 180 degrees. Selfie lovers will definitely appreciate the quality of the pictures. The developers claim that the camera mechanism can withstand up to 200 thousand turns.

The disadvantage of the model is the lack of moisture protection, which can be found even in phones that cost several times less.

8. Xiaomi Mi 10T PRO 8/128GB

XiaomiMi 10T is Xiaomi’s affordable flagship. When developing such devices, it is understood that they have all the features of expensive models, but for relatively little money.

The upper part of the phone is occupied by a fairly large block of cameras. It hides the main pride of developers from China – a module with a record 108 megapixels. The optics protrude noticeably from the case, which may not appeal to those who carry the phone without a case.

The smoothness of the Xiaomi Mi 10T PRO screen can only be envied. The display with a refresh rate of 144 Hz is perfectly complemented by a powerful Snapdragon 865 processor and 8 GB of RAM.

9. Motorola G9 Plus

“Workhorse” for those who do not need a powerful smartphone. From the very beginning, Motorola engineers did not want to surprise everyone with the performance of the device, so they created it as convenient as possible for average use.

There is a capacious 5000 mAh battery here, with an economical Snapdragon 730G processor, the device will last up to two days on a single charge. Motorola G9 Plus comes with fast charging.

The budget direction of the device is determined by the body materials (plastic) and a small amount of RAM – 4 GB.

How to choose a big screen phone

Now it is already difficult to surprise the buyer with a phone of 6 inches or more – phablets have already become the “gold standard” in the world of smartphones. Just five years ago, phones with such a screen diagonal were rather an exception to the general rule, but after the mass transition of manufacturers to a screen ratio of 16:9 or 18:9, “shovels” began to fit perfectly even in fragile female hands. Now it’s hard enough to find a decent phone with a screen diagonal of less than 6 inches, but there are a number of factors that should always be considered when buying. It will help us to understand this issue. Alexey Kondorov, consultant of the mobile phone salon.

Display

The cell phone screen is the part you will interact with the most. However, the displays will not differ in one size, it is important here

• screen resolution (should be at least FullHD – for a high-quality picture)
• refresh rate (from 60 to 120 Hz, everything that is more for gaming phone models) – so that the image “moves” smoothly)
• type of matrix (OLED – rich black color, but burns out over time, IPS – the best option for picky users and Retina – optimized for Apple devices).

TECH SPECS

A large and high-quality screen of a phablet requires a good “stuffing”. The processor and RAM determine how smoothly the phone will run and how many applications you can run at the same time. No one installs frankly unsuccessful processors in modern phones, and RAM in a device in 2022 should already be at least 6-8 gigabytes. Some phones can install memory cards, this will allow you to save a little when choosing a particular model without overpaying for an increased capacity built-in storage device.

Working hours

Battery capacity is the parameter that is responsible for the autonomy of the device. A good Android device should have a battery of at least 4000 mAh – this should be enough for a day of “normal” use without focusing on games or watching online videos. For Apple devices, the system is set up in such a way that a 3000 mAh battery is enough for a day.

Do not forget that to increase the autonomy of the phone, you can buy a small external battery, which is certainly enough for at least two full charge cycles. In modern realities, you should not chase a huge battery in the phone itself.

Camera

Here, each manufacturer dodges in its own way. Gone are the days when buyers were attracted by the number of megapixels. Now it is much more important how the phone itself processes the received frame – all phones have their own system for post-processing the received images. Now these systems work at the same level.

In addition to conventional lenses, phones are fitted with wide-angle and/or telephoto lenses. It is difficult to call their absence critical, it is rather a nice bonus to the main camera of the phone.

Body materials

Premium models are pleasant to hold in your hands – they are assembled from glass or metal. Smartphones are usually made of durable plastic. Be that as it may, most users carry cell phones in cases, so it is likely that because of it you will not feel the pleasant coolness of aluminum or glass parts at all.

Important little things

Manufacturers can build an endless number of small, but at the same time convenient features into their smartphones. For example, the possibility of contactless payment via NFC or wireless charging. Of course, all this increases the retail price of the phone.

The smartphone market is constantly changing, sometimes in unexpected ways. So, Android manufacturers picked up the fashion from Apple and began to abandon the “musical” jack-3.5 connector – now you can listen to music only via Bluetooth, and some companies have completely stopped putting a charger box in the box with the device.
