Cheap androids with a large screen. The best smartphones with a large display according to customer reviews. Sony Xperia XA Ultra – Phablet with the most powerful camera yet

Let's start with the fact that the image consists of the smallest elements - dots or pixels, and, depending on the diagonal of the display (and its physical size), a pixel can have a different size. Meet and various shapes pixel - rectangular, square and even octagonal (the latter, however, only happens with plasma TVs). Well, screen resolution is essentially the length in pixels of each side.

IN modern smartphones you can find resolutions from 320x240 pixels. (the most budget models for children and the older generation) up to 3840x2160 pixels. (usually flagships). The larger the screen and lower its resolution, the larger the pixels and the more blurred the image. For example, if you take a 6-inch screen with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. (HD) and 1920x1080 pixels. (Full HD), then in the first case the picture will have less clarity.

But is it worth pursuing higher smartphone screen resolutions up to 4K? Yes, there are times when they are actually required - for example, for diving virtual reality, where the display is almost close to the eyes and we can distinguish the smallest pixels (about smartphones for VR). But with the rest of the content, everything is not so clear.

Pixel Density

Here you cannot do without the concept of pixel density (PPI) - the resolution of the matrix, which is the main indicator of how clear the screen of the device is. PPI is calculated based on the diagonal resolution, its width and height, as well as the diagonal of the matrix in inches.

The more pixels you fit into an inch of space, the smaller they will be, and the image will be smoother and clearer; the richer the color rendition, the better the brightness and contrast. Moreover, at high PPI, fonts on the screen appear smoother, which improves text readability. For example, PPI with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels and a diagonal of 5.5" will be equal to 534, and if you take a slightly larger screen (5.7"), then with the same resolution PPI will drop to 515, and the picture will lose clarity.

The average user heard about this concept in 2010 with iPhone release 4 s Retina display. Then Apple said that the maximum pixels per inch that the human eye can distinguish is about 300. Columbia University also calculated the pixel density limit for the human eye, and it turned out to be slightly higher - 350 PPI. And in 2014, LG demonstrated three screens - with HD resolution and a density of 269 PPI, with Full HD and 403 PPI, and with QuadHD (its then flagship LG G3) and 538 PPI. And the difference between them was noticeable, the picture on each subsequent screen looked clearer and of higher quality, and this was visible to the naked eye.

Raymond Soneira of DisplayMate claims that a person with perfect vision can “see” densities of up to 600 PPI, which makes the idea of ​​releasing smartphones with 4K resolution and 800 PPI less crazy. Now the pixel density of modern flagships has already exceeded 500 PPI, but at some point, with the naked eye, users will no longer be able to discern the advantages of a small, essentially high-density smartphone screen.

Smartphones with the clearest screens

We didn’t take the manufacturers’ word for it and independently calculated the pixel density for each smartphone. As it turned out, here the vendors did not exaggerate their merits and indicated the correct values ​​(with adjustments for rounding to the nearest whole number), although, for example, many went overboard with “frameless” (in our material).

Samsung Galaxy S9

Samsung Galaxy S9 has become the leader in screen clarity - its pixel density is 568 PPI. Due to the smaller diagonal (5.8"), it outperformed its “brother” S9+, which has the same resolution (2960x1440 pixels) but a larger diagonal (6.2"), and therefore received 531 PPI. The smartphone has a “frameless” design and, fortunately, without the now popular “bangs” - this is a plus for the manufacturer.

Users note that the display’s colors are really very rich (this is, after all, a proprietary SuperAMOLED matrix), the brightness and contrast are high level. It behaves well in the sun, does not glare and remains readable. By the way, the screen resolution can be reduced if desired, increasing battery life.

LG G6 () is only slightly behind the leader with a result of 565 PPI (diagonal - 5.7", resolution - 2880x1440 pixels). LG called its screen FullVision, indicating that the user will have more space to view videos, web pages and text. All data can be divided into two windows - a large number of applications support this function in LG smartphones. Although the IPS matrix is ​​considered less bright than AMOLED, its quality was still positively rated by users. There is support for Dolby Vision and HDR 10.

By the way, the LG G7 ThinQ was recently introduced, which boasts a higher resolution - 3120x1440 pixels. But due to the increase in diagonal to 6.1”, the pixel density of its screen is slightly lower - 563 PPI.

Although many have questions about HMD Global’s strategy, it turned out to be quite successful and is in third place on the list with a result of 554 PPI. Although its screen has a lower resolution (2560x1440 pixels) than the smartphones that are in the top below, it benefits due to the small display diagonal - 5.3 inches.

The design, however, is not frameless at all - there are very noticeable stripes at the top and bottom of the display. But we liked the quality of the screen - it is bright, contrasty, with natural color reproduction and good viewing angles. And in the evening you can activate night mode so that your eyes don't get tired.

Vivo Xplay 6

Vivo Xplay 6 is quite far behind the top three in terms of performance - it has 538 PPI. But for the fact that it got here, we should thank the medium screen diagonal (5.46”) and high resolution (2560x1440 pixels). In appearance, it immediately becomes clear from whom the designers drew inspiration - the curved display at the edges repeats Samsung Galaxy Note 7. And the AMOLED matrix itself is also from a South Korean manufacturer, so it’s not surprising that the screen produces a high-quality picture.

The curved edges of the screen are made for a reason - there is a panel completely similar to Samsung's Edge. The display resolution can also be lowered to Full HD to increase battery life, but the settings do not allow color calibration.

Google Pixel 2 XL

Another “clear smartphone” is last year’s interesting, but not very popular flagship Google Pixel 2 XL. It has a large diagonal (6") and a high screen resolution (2880x1440 pixels), and a pixel density of 537 PPI. A POLED matrix manufactured by LG is installed, which in some places is inferior to SuperAMOLED from Samsung, but there is no “acidity” of shades inherent in the latter. However, , if you deviate from a right angle, the colors begin to invert and go blue.

Also, at the very beginning of sales there were complaints about graininess and the appearance of artifacts, but the manufacturer assures that this should have been corrected software updates. Many more users are unlucky, and their devices’ screens turn pink in places.

The second LG smartphone on our list, the LG V30+, has exactly the same pixel density (537 PPI). It, like the Google Pixel 2XL, has a 6" diagonal and a resolution of 2880x1440 pixels. The matrix type is again POLED (On-Cell touch). But, apparently, LG still makes higher quality displays for its flagships.

The screen here is bright, with a high-quality anti-glare coating and balanced colors. There are separate color display profiles - for surfing the Internet, watching movies, reading books. HDR is also supported, and the Always-on-display function, which is present in all modern OLED screens, has different settings: shutdown time, brightness, content display, etc.

HTC U11 Plus

And the third smartphone in a row with a 6-inch screen, a resolution of 2880x1440 pixels and a pixel density of 537 PPI is the HTC U11 Plus. The proprietary Super LCD 6 matrix, according to the manufacturer, provides natural color reproduction. This screen is very popular with those for whom Samsung displays are too bright. And for lovers of rich colors, the screen will seem too faded, but the eyes will not get tired of it.

The smartphone has an analogue of the Always-on-display function, but... This is an LCD matrix, only the clock and information icons will be displayed, and the battery will run out much faster. The “With Gloves” mode with increased screen sensitivity is interesting, as well as the ability to select a color profile and change settings in it separately.

There is support for HDR10 dynamic range, but only at the hardware level. With new system updates it should appear in software.

Tonino Lamborghini Alpha one

Together with the next smartphone on the list, the Tonino Lamborghini Alpha one, we are invited to the premium segment, offering along with an impressive appearance(body made of “liquid metal” and trimmed with genuine leather) also have decent characteristics. A diagonal of 5.5 inches and a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels create a pixel density of 534 PPI.

The AMOLED matrix demonstrates good contrast and saves battery power; the brightness reserve is also decent. As with all AMOLED screens, colors do not invert at different viewing angles. You can play with the color temperature and saturation settings if you wish.

Huawei P10 Plus

The Huawei P10 Plus has the same screen characteristics as the Tonino Lamborghini (except that the matrix is ​​IPS), and therefore demonstrates 534 PPI in the same way.

We had the smartphone, and we noted that the display has good brightness and a decent anti-glare coating - it can be used comfortably in the sun. The viewing angles are wide, and the color temperature can be adjusted independently or you can select a preset profile.

ASUS ZenFone AR ZS571KL

Well ASUS smartphone ZenFone AR ZS571KL is specially tailored for virtual and augmented reality, and therefore it has a large and clear 5.7-inch screen with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, and its pixel density is 515 PPI.

The screen is covered with 2.5-D Gorilla Glass 4 on top. You can turn the device into a VR helmet using its own packaging - it opens up, a smartphone is inserted there - and off you go, towards virtual adventures. True, the VR mode drains the battery very quickly - just like games.

Most phones in 2019 come with huge displays. This applies to all segments, including low ones. In fact, it is now more difficult to find a phone with a comfortable 5.5-inch diagonal. Next is a selection best models for little money with screens with a diagonal of more than 6 inches.

1st place – Redmi Note 7

You can buy a smartphone for 13,500-14,000 rubles on average. This is a high-quality “state employee”, which is better in terms of characteristics than some “average” ones.

What's good:

• Low price.
• Screen size 6.3 inches with Full HD+ resolution + Gorilla Glass 5. Brightness – 479 cd/m2; contrast ratio – 1338:1.

• No video stabilization, no 4K shooting function.
• Even taking into account the disadvantages, Honor 10 Lite is good choice for little money.

Examples of photos from the camera:

3rd place – Redmi 7

The cheapest phone on the market with big screen. It costs only 8500-9500 rubles, and it’s actually cheaper to buy it on Aliexpress.

What's good:

• Protection against water is declared using P2i coating - that is, the smartphone will survive accidental spills or splashes, but the device cannot be immersed under water.
• Large screen size 6.26 inches; resolution – 1520×720 + Gorilla Glass 5.
• A good 14nm Snapdragon 632 processor is a logical solution for the middle class.
• The 4000 mAh battery, taking into account the low power consumption of the processor and the HD screen, will ensure a long service life without recharging.
• A good camera for the low price segment, although any “mid-range” camera takes better photos.
• IR port for controlling household appliances.
• Android 9 Pie out of the box.

What's bad:

• No NFC and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, connects only to 2.4 GHz networks.
• HD screen with a large screen, as a result, a low pixel density of 269 ppi. Pixelation is possible - the visibility of individual points on the matrix.

4th place – Samsung Galaxy A20

The South Korean brand Samsung has long conquered the high price segment, but it has problems in the low price segment. The new budget Galaxy A20 is designed to change the situation - the device really competes with the “Chinese” Redmi Note 7 and Honor 10 Lite, as well as hundreds of other models.

What's good:

• Amoled matrix – in the low segment there are no other phones with an Amoled screen. Diagonal – 6.4 inches; resolution – 1560×720.
• Main camera – 13 MP, f/1.9 + additional with a wide-angle lens. A camera with a “wide” lens is no longer found in the low segment.
• Android 9 Pie out of the box.
• Large 4000 mAh battery – taking into account the Amoled display, which does not consume much energy, and the inefficient Exynos 7884 processor, the phone should theoretically last 2-3 days in active use without recharging. So far there is no exact data on autonomy.
• Claims fast charging. It is not yet known how quickly the phone charges, but you can expect 30% in 30 minutes.
• There is NFC, a USB Type-C connector, Bluetooth 5.0, and a dedicated memory card slot.

What's bad:

• Weak Samsung processor Exynos 7884 - don't count on games at all.
• No 5 GHz Wi-Fi, only connects to 2.4 GHz networks.
• Low pixel density – 268 ppi; pixelation is possible.

In the low price segment, this is the only smartphone with an Amoled screen, a wide-angle lens and a large battery.

Useful information:

5th place – Meizu Note 9

The completely new “state employee” of the Chinese brand Meizu deserves attention. It has the same camera as on Redmi Note 7 (1st place in this review), plus a good screen and hardware.

What's good:

• IPS matrix with a diagonal of 6.2”; resolution 2244×1080, 403 ppi – no pixelation.
• Processor – new 11nm Snapdragon 675 with normal performance and low power consumption + Adreno 612 graphics.
• Main camera: 48 MP + 5 MP depth sensor. There is a Quad-Bayer sensor here, just like on the Redmi Note 7. That is, when shooting, four pixels are combined into one large one, which really improves the quality of the image and expands the dynamic range.
• Selfie camera with 20 MP resolution and f/2 aperture..
• 4000 mAh battery + Meizu MCharge fast charging announced, 18 W charger included. No speed testing has been done yet, but you can expect 30% in 30 minutes, which is good considering the battery capacity. Judging by the reviews: 5% of the charge is required for 30 minutes of watching a video on YouTube at maximum brightness.
• USB Type-C, Wi-Fi ac standard, connection to 5 GHz networks available.

Everyone remembers when the maximum display capabilities were to display several lines in monochrome. Today, such devices are already classified as rare. Modern phones are comparable in power to computers, and some are even more powerful.

Smartphones with a fairly large screen are no longer a curiosity, and if previously they were perceived as “shovels,” today their popularity is at its peak. This is not surprising, because the use of such devices provides a lot of opportunities, and the devices themselves have a number of advantages.

In short, such phones are convenient for work; they allow you to comfortably receive and share information. Today, manufacturers are trying to please users and are creating ever larger diagonals, trying to maintain overall dimensions devices, so frameless smartphones have become popular recently.

What are the advantages of large displays?

The most important thing that can be highlighted is the multimedia capabilities. Viewing content, photos, videos is something that a user encounters several times a day. It all looks much nicer and more comfortable on large screens; you don’t have to look closely or enlarge the image. It is very important that, in addition to a large diagonal, the smartphone has decent resolution and no large pixels are visible.

Main advantages:

• Convenience of communication in instant messengers. Today it is very convenient that you can make a free video call anywhere in the world and it is much more pleasant to communicate when you can see your interlocutor in normal size and watch a live picture.
• Smartphones with large, high-quality screens make reading books much more convenient. You no longer need to carry a tablet or e-book– all this is now on the phone. The larger the area for the text, the easier it is to perceive; you can also customize it to suit yourself and thereby reduce the strain on your eyesight.
• A huge amount of information is obtained daily from Internet resources. Mobile websites today are designed to be fully functional, they contain images, links, videos, and of course, advertising. It is very convenient to surf the Internet on a large smartphone, where the display displays all the information and allows you to manage and navigate through pages as comfortably as possible.
• Convenient text typing. Whether it's work or socializing, everyone types a huge amount of text on their phones every day. On larger screens, the keyboard is displayed larger, which means the comfort of use and typing speed increases.
• Photos are of higher quality. It is clear that the display itself does not change the capabilities of the camera, but it allows you to better see the details and build a composition.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus

One of the best in this niche is a phone with a large display from a famous brand that guarantees high quality. The Amoled display has 6.22” and a resolution of 2960×1440, which makes the image high-quality, clear and rich. There are also maximum viewing angles here, which means it’s convenient to work with the phone even in bright sunshine.

Phones with high-quality large screens have firmly entered modern life. This rating contains the best representatives, which have excellent display and general characteristics.

The times when the relevance of tablets was ensured by the difference in screen diagonal with smartphones are gradually becoming a thing of the past. If not so long ago phones with a display larger than five inches seemed like a curiosity and took time to get used to their controls, today the market offers a whole series devices that are more like a miniature tablet in size. So that you do not get confused in all the variety of offers on the market, we have prepared a rating of the best smartphones with a large screen 2018-2019.

Inexpensive smartphones with large screens

ASUS ZenFone Go ZB690KG

Price: from 6300 rubles

This smartphone is equipped with the largest screen on the market – 6.9 inches, i.e. its diagonal is almost identical to seven-inch tablets. Of course, only a very large man can handle it with one hand, and this must be kept in mind when purchasing it. Unfortunately, such a large display has a resolution of only 1024x600 pixels, which does not look like a very good indicator even for much smaller smart phones, and therefore you will inevitably see a grainy picture on the screen.

As for performance, it doesn't shine either. 1 GB of RAM is not serious; even web surfing, if the smartphone is sufficiently loaded, can cause negative emotions. The 8 megapixel camera does not claim to have high quality images, but if you need to take a photo of text, you can make it out. A powerful 3480 mAp battery combined with weak hardware will allow the smartphone to work for long periods of time in offline mode, but its dimensions also negatively affect the weight of the device – 270 grams is a lot by today’s standards. Despite all the shortcomings, this device finds its buyer among those who need a long-term working away from charger smartphone with a large screen for minimal money.

Lenovo Phab 2

Price: from 9990 rubles

And this is already quite a decent device in terms of filling. The diagonal size of 6.4 inches, standard for the largest screens, coupled with HD resolution allows you to watch video from this model without peering at the screen, trying in vain to make out what is happening. The 13 megapixel camera allows you to take relatively good pictures using the internal software conveniently edit them on the big screen.

3 GB RAM in tandem with a quad-core Mediatek M8735 at 1300 MHz makes it possible to while away the time playing modern games at low and medium settings, which will be facilitated by the Mali-T720 MP2 graphics accelerator. Overall, this is an average phone in terms of characteristics at a very reasonable price. If having a large screen is an essential item for you, pay attention to this model.

Meizu M3 Max

Price: from 12,320 rubles

A model approaching the middle class segment in price. When purchasing this hit from Meizu, we get a six-inch screen with Full HD, and then watching your favorite TV shows or reading text from the screen will bring extremely positive emotions. The camera is standard - 13 megapixels, but the quality of shooting from the Chinese company is traditionally high, the results are pleasing to the eye.

The eight-core MediaTek Helio P10 processor looks a little old-fashioned, but paired with a good video accelerator and three gigabytes of RAM it copes with the most ambitious tasks. A really good choice in the budget phone segment.

Doogee X7 Pro

Price: 6000 rubles

The mobile phone falls into the category of budget smarts up to 6,000 rubles, but this, surprisingly, does not negatively affect its characteristics. The six-inch Full HD screen will not amaze you with its picture quality, but you are unlikely to notice the pixels, the camera and wireless interfaces are quite standard for this segment, and a capacious 3700 mAh battery will help you not to worry about the availability of an outlet every five minutes.

The filling, which is good for a budget device, ensures comfortable video viewing and web surfing. Perhaps the best offer in this category in terms of price/quality ratio; for this phone, 6,000 rubles is very inexpensive.

Smartphones with a large screen and a good camera

Xiaomi Mi Max 2

Price: from 14,000 rubles

The Chinese concern once broke through the window of smartphones with large screens to the heart Russian buyer with its Mi Max, and not so long ago introduced its updated model to the domestic market.

The hardware has also been updated, Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 is enough for absolutely any task, and 4 GB of RAM will be quite enough. This phone is ideal for browsing the Internet and watching high-quality videos, which is already quite enough for its price, and as an affordable gaming platform, the Mi Mix 2 does not disappoint.

Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro 2017

Price: From 21,000 rubles

A more upscale solution from Samsung. The screen is not striking in size compared to its competitors - 6 inches, but the picture quality on the SuperAMOLED matrix is ​​truly impressive. The 16 MP camera shows very nice results, and the battery lasts up to two days of active use, if you do not waste resources on games.

The filling allows you to spend your leisure time playing games in top-end titles, which is helped by 4 GB of RAM, but the processor here is identical to that installed in Xiaomi - Snapdragon 652. A good quality smart phone from a trusted manufacturer, but the price seems a little high, again due to brand.

Sony Xperia XA 1 Ultra

Price: from 24,000 rubles

But in this case, overpaying for the brand may not be so useless, because you will get the best 23 megapixel camera in the segment, which, together with a large six-inch screen and proprietary software from Sony, will help you achieve truly excellent photo quality.

The downside is that the battery is too small for such a colossus (2700 mAh); it is difficult for the phone to last a day without recharging, even with not the most intense activity. And the processor here is not the most gaming-ready - MediaTek Helio P20, but overall the device turned out to be quite balanced.

Huawei Honor 8 Pro

Price: from 23,000 rubles

The best screen in the segment. A resolution of 2560x1440 is achieved within a 5.7-inch diagonal, and therefore this phone ideal for viewing multimedia content. A dual camera is a feature of more expensive phones, but Huawei coped with the task and implemented an excellent module of two 12 MP cameras in the Huawei 8 Pro.

6 GB RAM, as can be understood from the above list, is the best indicator in this segment. As well as the near-flagship HiSilicon Kirin 960 processor, which produces remarkable test results (97 thousand parrots in Antutu). In total, we have a phone for a quite reasonable price for the middle segment, but with all the advantages of the flagship model segment. An excellent choice and an undisputed first place in its class.
