Really big smartphones you can buy

A bigger screen makes videos and games look grander, and increases ease of use. But only if you can handle the phone's bulk

The notion that if you go bigger the phone will become unmanageable is not always true, because a lot depends on your comfort level.Premium
The notion that if you go bigger the phone will become unmanageable is not always true, because a lot depends on your comfort level.

Big-screen phones are very popular with users. A bigger screen offers not just a better video playback experience but makes playing games and reading text much easier. The notion that if you go bigger the phone will become unmanageable is not always true, because a lot depends on your comfort level. We take a look at some of the best smartphones with screen sizes larger than 5.5 inches that you can buy right now.

Microsoft Lumia 950XL

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 dual SIM

The Galaxy Note 5 is testimony that big screen doesn’t always result in a heavy phone. In spite of the 5.7-inch display, the phone weighs 171g and is only 7.6mm thick. The AMOLED display offers a resolution of 2560x1440p, which looks better than its predecessor as colour brightness has been toned down a bit to give a more natural look. It also comes with a layer of Gorilla Glass 4. The S-Pen stylus is a lot more useful than it used to be, which enhances it useability for designers and professionals on the move. The phone runs Android 5.1 with an improved and less cluttered TouchWiz interface. The Indian version runs on Exynos octa-core processor with 4GB RAM and is powerful enough to run most tasks smoothly and without any heating up. The 3,000mAh battery can give a day’s backup at most if not stressed too much.
