Apparently, while Apple and Samsung were sorting things out over the rights to the shape of the next iPhone, they did not notice how new players crept up to the top, aggressive and ambitious.

The most common diagonal for a good smartphone is 5 inches. There is a wide range of such devices on the market from various manufacturers. To find your ideal device, in addition to the size of the screen, you need to study its technical characteristics. We present 10 models of 5-inch smartphones popular in Russia, analyze their advantages and disadvantages.

Alcatel One Touch Pop 3 (5) Dual 5015D

Opens a number of popular five-inch smartphones, the best of the LTE models at a price of about 5,000 rubles. Such a low cost of a phone from a Chinese company is due to its weak screen with a TFT-matrix (480x854). The sun causes the image to fade, which is uncomfortable for the user.

For an inexpensive smartphone with a 5-inch screen, the OneTouch Pop 3 (5) is decently equipped. In its arsenal: MediaTek MT6580 chipset (4 cores), memory - 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory (about 4 GB available). There is a microSD card slot up to 32 GB. The battery capacity of 1800 mAh is designed for 660 minutes of talk time. The operating system is Android 5.1 Lollipop.

Phone - dvuhsimochny, there is a slot for 2 micro-SIM. Front camera - 2 megapixels, main - 5 megapixels with built-in LED flash and autofocus.

Approaching objectively, we can say that Alcatel 5015D is a good, fast-thinking smartphone with good stuffing, a rather big touch screen at an adequate price from 4677 rubles.

Watch the video review of Alcatel OneTouch Pop 3 (5) Dual 5015D:

HTC Desire 626G dual sim

The memory consists of 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of integrated memory (all applications are installed on it). Not much, but the amount corresponds to the class of the device. Optionally, you can install a Micro-SD memory card up to 32 GB to save photos, videos and other content. When installing 2-3 toys, there will be no space for applications.

The smartphone is controlled by Android 4.4 KitKat OS with HTC Sense UI 5.3 shell.

The design of the device is pleasant, it does not slip in the hands, it is comfortable to use, thanks to the rubberized inserts on the sides. The body is plastic. The range is presented in a variety of colors: white, blue, black with contrasting inserts on the sides. There are original combinations, for example, black and pink. The back cover is matte, the prints on it are almost invisible.

The smartphone's 5-inch IPS capacitive touch screen (1280 x 720) recognizes 10 simultaneous touches. The minimum brightness of the screen glow is high, even sharp in the dark. Oleophobic coating is weak.

The battery capacity is 2000 mAh, for everyday work, the charge will last for a day. Watching videos - 8 hours, games with 3D graphics - 4.5 hours, this is a very decent result in terms of autonomy.

The device has two cameras: front 5 MP and main 13 MP. Cameras with autofocus, self-timer, gesture control, selfie enhancer.

There are few sensors in HTC Desire 626G: proximity and light sensors, accelerometer. Communications: 2G/3G networks, GPS with A-GPS, Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz. Not provided: connection of USB devices, 4G, LTE, GLONASS. The lowest price is 7210 rubles.

Samsung Galaxy J3

The design of the novelty is not quite “typical” for Samsung. Of course, the case, like the entire inexpensive Ji line, is plastic, but the forms are distinguished by grace, freshness and originality. The thickness of the device is small - only 7.9 mm, which is not often found in smartphones with a 5-inch screen. Weight 138 g - comfortable, does not pull the hand.

The main feature of the Galaxy J3 is a wonderful Super AMOLED screen. This means that even in bright sunlight, everything is perfectly visible on it. Typical resolution - 1280 x 720 (HD), density - 294 ppi. Its advantages include: wide viewing angles, bright colors, deep blacks. The display has a limited number of simultaneous touches - only 2.

The smartphone is equipped with a Spreadtrum SC9830 chipset with a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor, 1.5 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory (actually approximately 4.3 GB, depending on the update of the installed software).

To expand the memory, there is a slot for a microCD card up to 128 GB. The Mali-400 MP4 video adapter is outdated and not fast. Games run without much lag, but OpenGL ES 3.0 is not supported. The number of slots for SIM-cards is two.

Two cameras: front has a sensor with a resolution of 5 MP, rear - 8 MP. They take pictures of decent quality for budget devices, but the front camera shoots worse than the main one. Full HD video capture is good for both cameras, and the front camera's video is even better than its photo.

The capacity of the removable battery is 2600 mAh, which is quite enough for everyday work, plus there is a maximum power saving mode.

Solid build quality, as always, distinguishes Samsung phones. Everything in it is balanced, carefully adjusted. For communication there is: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, LTE 4G, GPS / GLONASS. Finds satellites quickly. The average price is 10,990 rubles.

Samsung Galaxy A5

The palette of the case pleases with variety, it looks a bit like plastic, but the coating reduces heating. Available colors: black, white, pink, blue, silver and gold. Oleophobic coating saves the screen from fingerprints.

Real metal case is pleasant to the touch, but has its drawbacks. As a rule, such devices are non-separable, which means that you cannot replace the battery, get to the filling on your own, repairs are not cheap.

You can put two nanoSIM SIM cards in the slot or donate one in favor of a microSD memory card, which will increase the memory capacity up to 64 GB as much as possible.

The hardware of the device is based on an inexpensive chipset with a 4-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, its clock frequency is 1.2 GHz. Graphics adapter - Adreno 306. As for memory, 1 GB of RAM is clearly not enough. Built-in memory - 16 GB (available 12 GB).

The set of communications is sufficient, there is everything except for the fast charging function: NFC, Bluetooth, LTE, FM radio, A-GPS / GLONASS.

The battery is rather weak - 2300 mAh, a consequence of a very thin body. But autonomy is good - this is one of the strengths of the Samsung Galaxy A5. With a gentle load, it lasts for 1.5-2 days.

Super AMOLED-display resolution does not match the above-average price of the device.

The A5 smartphone is suitable for those who are willing to pay an inflated price for the brand and "advanced" features. The cost is from 13889 to 15600 rubles.

Check out the video review of the Samsung Galaxy A5 below:

Lenovo Vibe Shot

High photographic abilities of the smartphone provide two excellent cameras: the main 16 MP with triple flash and 8 MP front.

The hardware is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset, the frequency of the octa-core processor is 1.7 GHz, which provides commendable performance. 3 GB of RAM is enough for a stable and comfortable operation of the device. Additionally, there is 32 GB of integrated memory and a microSD card slot with a maximum capacity of 128 GB. A Li-Polymer battery with a good capacity of 2900 mAh is responsible for autonomy, and an Adreno 405 adapter is responsible for graphics.

The usual operating system for smartphones is Android 5.1 with the Vibe UI shell. Work is supported in all modern networks: 2/3/4G. The external interface includes: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB 2.0, LTE is supported, GPS / GLONASS navigation.

ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser 16GB

The case of the smartphone has graceful forms - its thickness is no more than 3.5 mm. By tradition, phones from ASUS have an ergonomic body, decorated with concentric circles. The multi-function button on its back allows you to adjust the sound volume, release the camera shutter and more.

The main focus is on the heavy-duty protective glass of the HD display. The device with Corning Gorilla Glass 4, according to the assurances of the developers, is much better able to withstand drops even on concrete. Its "survivability" reaches 85%, which is surprising for a budget smartphone with a 5-inch screen. The display occupies 70% of the front panel of the device, which makes it even more sophisticated.

The hardware of the ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser is designed to strike a balance between decent performance and sufficient autonomy. The phone has the following values ​​in its arsenal: Qualcomm 410 64-bit processor, Adreno 306 graphics accelerator, 2 GB of system memory and 16 GB of Flash memory. For autonomy, a removable battery with a capacity of 2400 mAh is installed.

The smartphone has two cameras - 13 MP and 5 MP. Both take crisp, high-resolution shots. The high technology implemented in the manufacture of lenses allows you to capture high-quality images even in low light conditions due to 4 times the increase in ISO sensitivity, brightness and contrast (HDR mode). Plus - laser autofocus, dual-color LED flash, blue filter.

The device has slots for installing 2 Micro SIM-cards, both LTE. Works under control of OS Android 5.0 with the proprietary user interface. Stereo headset included. The average price is 12,810 rubles.

Video review of ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser 16GB is presented below:

Huawei Honor 4C Pro

The back cover of Huawei Honor 4C Pro with a beautiful corporate pattern is removable. Under it are two micro SIM cards, a built-in battery.

Its hardware did not let us down either. The equipment of the phone includes: MediaTek MT6735P - a common chipset for state employees, RAM - 2 GB, flash memory - 16 GB, you can additionally replace one of the SIM cards with a microSD card. The performance is sufficient for surfing the Internet, watching movies, playing games. He will pull the most diverse toys from among the fairly simple ones that Google offers.

The Android 5.1 operating system is standard for Android smartphones, with a proprietary EMUI 3.1 shell. The phone is fast, does not slow down and does not freeze.

The IPS-screen matrix has a resolution of 720x1280 pixels (HD format), that is, not the best. There is an oleophobic screen coating, but of such quality that prints cover the front surface in a short time.

Both cameras meet modern requirements. 5 MP selfie camera, 13 MP main camera. The flash is available. The pictures are of decent quality, the focus is not bad even at night. The video leaves much to be desired. But the presence of a radio will please, a good sound, and most importantly - its vitality. The price of the model is low, starting from 11,400 rubles.

Xiaomi Redmi 3

The metal back panel has a distinctive mesh pattern. The design of the body is ergonomic, the phone lies confidently in the hand. Dimensions are adequate. The thickness is not the smallest - 8.5 mm, contributes to a comfortable grip with the palm of your hand and allowed the creators to install a "wow" battery of 4100 mAh.

The screen with IPS HD matrix has a resolution of 720x1280 pixels. and oleophobic coating. The quality front panel is higher than usual for state employees. The pre-installed application for the IR transmitter allows you to use the gadget as a remote control for your TV.

A video review of Xiaomi Redmi 3 can be found below:

Sony Xperia M5 Dual

The attractive appearance of the phone is given by the materials traditionally used by developers for Xperia models. The white body with chrome-plated metal trim sparkles in the sun and makes the gadget look more expensive than it actually is.

The smartphone has an IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The image on the screen is excellent, but sometimes it is significantly spoiled by the lack of anti-reflective coating. On a sunny day, a decent supply of maximum brightness saves the situation. The screen is well readable if you turn it at an angle that eliminates the appearance of glare.

Management is carried out by the operating system Android 5.0 Lollipop with a convenient proprietary shell Xperia UI. The hardware is represented by an 8-core MediaTek MT6795 Helio X10 processor.

The phone has slots for installing two SIM cards.

Sony camera sensors, as always, are on top. The main camera of 21.5 MP has an LED flash and autofocus. The front 13 MP autofocus camera is used for video communication and high-quality self-portraits, which can be diversified with various funny special effects.

The set of wireless interfaces includes: support for 2/3/4G networks, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n modules, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC. Navigation is carried out in GPS/GLONASS.

The battery is non-removable with a capacity of 2600 mAh. This is frankly not enough by modern standards, but the Sony Xperia M5 Dual consumes energy very economically. The device, of course, is not a flagship, but the protection against moisture and dust is no worse than that of top models. The average price is lower than the flagship one - 28,990 rubles.

One Plus X

The screen of the phone is made using an AMOLED-matrix with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The protective function is performed by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

The Snapdragon 801 processor is not the latest version, but the frequency of 2.3 GHz and 4 cores classifies it as quite powerful, with good performance. 3 GB of RAM will not be enough, 16 GB of flash memory is built-in for saving data and there is an additional slot for a MicroSD memory card up to 128 GB.

Management is carried out by the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating system with proprietary OxygenOS firmware.

Li-Pol battery with a capacity of 2525 mAh - non-removable. With a not too active load, the charge is enough for 2 days of work. The phone is dual SIM, but the second card will have to be abandoned if you plan to use additional memory on MicroSD. Nano SIM cards are used for communication in 2G, 3G and 4G networks.

What do you think about smartphones with large screens? Many users categorically do not want to switch from 4-5 inches to phablets with diagonals of more than 5.5 inches, while others, on the contrary, do not even consider compact solutions as a smartphone. However, recently the situation on the market has seriously changed: each manufacturer is trying to make the bezels around the screen smaller, and some even get rid of them to ensure the optimal ratio of the screen to the total area of ​​the front part. The current 5.5-inch smartphone in terms of dimensions may differ significantly from the models presented a few years ago.

So, we've rounded up the top 10 big-screen smartphones of 2017. Let's take a look at them.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus

• Cost: around 42,000 rubles
• Features: high quality parts, unusual screen aspect ratio, flagship specifications, smartphone with the best camera

Samsung has done a great job of improving its previous flagship this year. Galaxy S8 Plus with a large display struck literally every user. The smartphone received an unusual aspect ratio, which, as the manufacturer describes, makes the screen “infinite”. It looks really modern, unusual and bright. In addition to the screen, the Samsung smartphone can surprise with other characteristics.

A little more about the screen. In the older version, we have an AMOLED matrix with a diagonal of 6.2 inches. The resolution is a royal 2960×1440 pixels, which will give a new experience to the lovers of virtual reality. By the way, the display resolution can be changed independently in the smartphone settings. There is not much to say about the cameras - they are simply the best on the market. As for the "stuffing", here are top-end processors and optimal memory sizes in 2017. By the way, in Europe, the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus is officially sold on the proprietary Exynos chip, in a number of countries the model is presented on the Snapdragon 835. In any case, it has excellent performance. Smartphone from Samsung with a powerful 3500 mAh battery, there is support for fast charging technology.

Today, the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus can rightfully compete for the title of the best big-screen phone that has kept its small size while providing excellent ergonomics.

Sony Xperia XZ Premium

Which smartphone has the best large screen? Definitely - Xperia XZ Premium from Sony. The company did not waste time on trifles, installing a FullHD or QHD screen in the new phone, presenting 4K right away. What did it give? An excellent picture that boasts a record pixel density of 801 per inch. Even the most fastidious user, armed with a magnifying glass, will not be able to see individual pixels.

The smartphone received a large screen of 5.5 inches with a resolution, as already mentioned, 4K. It is impossible to find fault with the quality of the picture. The display is covered with fifth-generation Gorilla Glass, which guarantees scratch resistance. The same glass covers the back side. Like other Sony smartphones, the Xperia XZ Premium has good cameras. The main one is represented by a single 19-megapixel sensor, contrary to the trend of a camera with two lenses. Frontal 13 MP. The main module has stabilization and good auto focus, maybe in 4K. At the head of the hardware of the 5.5-inch smartphone is the latest Snapdragon 835 chipset, which has 4 GB of RAM as assistants. The drive is rated at 64 GB, but you can install a microSD instead of one of the two SIM cards.

Sony's big-screen smartphone is not the most powerful 3320 mAh battery, which will run out pretty quickly given the high resolution. Be that as it may, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium deserves a place in our ranking of the best.

Xiaomi Mi Mix

• Price: from 35,000 rubles
• Features: a smartphone with a large frameless screen, expensive body materials and top-end features

Speaking of smartphones with large high-quality screens in 2017, one of the most notable solutions from Xiaomi cannot be ignored. Mi Mix was one of the first phones to get rid of the wide bezels around the display. The model was able to impress many, pushing companies to develop their own frameless smartphones. But not a single screen is ready to surprise the device - complete order with other characteristics.

So, the screen of the smartphone is very large - 6.4 inches with FullHD. Naturally, it has a good oleophobic coating and durable glass. There are a couple of really good cameras that may not be the best among the competition, but will allow you to take great photos. The main 16-megapixel camera has optical stabilization, and can record video in 4K. Unfortunately, the best Chinese smartphone of 2016 came out shortly before the introduction of the Snapdragon 835, so you have to be content with the Snapdragon 821. No, you don’t think there are any problems with performance. In addition, the smartphone has large amounts of RAM: 4 or 6 gigabytes. Decent and permanent memory: 128 or 256 gigabytes. What is Xiaomi without a large battery - Mi Mix has a 4400 mAh battery.

Xiaomi Mi Mix can surely be called the best smartphone with a large frameless screen. Gradually, other companies show devices in a similar format, but not a single one has jumped to the level of Mi Mix yet.

Apple iPhone 7 Plus

Since we started talking about the best smartphones with a screen diagonal of more than 5.5 inches, it is impossible not to include the latest brainchild of the Cupertinos in the rating. In the past three years, with compact 4.7-inch iPhones, 5.5-inch companions have been released in the face of Plus versions. The superiority of the iPhone over other smartphones can be argued indefinitely. We will dryly talk about its characteristics.

A smartphone with a large 5.5-inch IPS display, the resolution is standard for the latest Plus flagships from the company - FullHD. The case materials are metal, glass and quite a bit of plastic. An expensive smartphone is presented on the latest version of iOS, in the future it will 100% receive all the latest updates. The iPhone 7 Plus got a dual main camera with 12 + 12 megapixels - one of the best on the market. The smartphone is powered by the latest proprietary Apple A10 Fusion chip, which makes the smartphone a leader in synthetic benchmarks. To do this, he does not even need 6 GB of RAM - 3 GB is enough with his head.

Huawei Mate 9

• Cost: from 30,000 rubles
• Features: a large high-quality smartphone with good cameras, a large battery and a productive "stuffing"

It only took a few years for Huawei to become one of the biggest brands in the world. The Chinese company is one of the rulers in the domestic market, and in other countries its influence is growing. Huawei offers a lot of smartphones for a variety of tasks and in any price category, but at the same time, it knows how to maintain high quality in any segment. Recently, the Mate 9 went on sale - a smartphone with a large screen and a good camera, located in a not the highest price category.

Huawei Mate 9 is a metal handsome, made in the tradition of a well-known company. The novelty is equipped with a really decent size display, thanks to which it can already be classified as a phablet. Here we have a 5.9-inch matrix with FullHD - an ideal picture and not the worst autonomy. A good, even excellent, smartphone camera deserves special attention. It is represented by combined sensors for 20 and 12 megapixels from Leica. Laser autofocus, optical stabilization - just royal characteristics. Not bad things are with the “iron” – the proprietary flagship chip Kirin 960, which operates in tandem with 4 GB of RAM. The storage capacity can be selected: 32 or 64 GB.

Complementing the worthy characteristics of the smartphone is a powerful 4000 mAh battery. Huawei Mate 9 is a great solution with a huge screen for fans of the company's mobile phones. And there are a lot of admirers, so the model is already selling well.

Xiaomi Mi Note 2

• Cost: from 21500 rubles
• Features: Sleek metal and glass design, superb OLED display, flagship specs, low-cost smartphone by latest standards

What do we have here? One of the notable flagships of the fall of 2016, which adopted the curved display from all known smartphones, received top specifications and is sold today at a very appetizing price. Xiaomi Mi Note 2 is a strict big-screen phablet packed with the most advanced features. The smartphone, despite being almost a year old, still looks very relevant now, and you can’t call it expensive either.

The display is rather big - 5.7 inches, OLED matrix and FullHD resolution. The smartphone was designed for business people, so it’s convenient to work with documents and mail on the big screen, but you, gamers and YouTube video lovers, don’t be upset - it’s ideal for content consumption. Xiaomi has not stinted on a really good camera, which remains one of the best in the class in 2017. The main sensor is 22 MP, there is, of course, autofocus and macro mode. The pictures come out great. No performance issues - the penultimate flagship Snapdragon 821 and 4 or even 6 GB of RAM will provide you with smoothness in any application and game. Well, a capacious 4070 mAh battery will support the autonomy of a large, juicy screen.

As already mentioned, Xiaomi Mi Note 2 is simply crammed with various features. Of the notable ones here: fast charging, without which no top-end smartphone can do, NFC, a full set of navigation systems and other interesting “chips”.

Google Pixel XL

• How much does Google Pixel XL cost: from 45,000 rubles
• Features: a smartphone under the auspices of Google, so there will definitely be no problems with updates, an interesting discreet design, a flagship “stuffing”

Let's not forget about the brainchild of the search giant. Is he small? No, he's big. Of course, for some, 5.5 inches is already compact. But not for us. Moreover, the screen of the smartphone is not only large, but also one of the best on the market. Anyway, Google Pixel XL has become one of the most powerful and interesting devices of 2016, so it deserves a place in the ranking.

So, before us is a stylish creation of the best minds of mankind, covered with glass and metal. The design is interesting, but, so to speak, an amateur. The big screen - the culprit of today's rating - the Pixel XL has. 5.5-inch AMOLED-matrix with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels - why not claim the title of smartphone with the best screen in 2017? In addition to the high pixel density on the screen, the device offers equally high-quality cameras. The main camera with non-standard 12.3 MP with laser autofocus is deservedly one of the best cameras on the market. The front does not lag behind. The top specs of spring 2016 still look powerful today - Snapdragon 821 with 4 GB of RAM. Either 32 GB or 128 GB is available permanently - not the best solution.

A smartphone with a fairly large 3450 mAh battery for its class, besides, optimization makes its contribution. If you are still tormented by vague doubts about which unusual smartphone with a large screen to choose, Pixel XL to help.

Meizu Pro 6 Plus

Here Meizu knows a lot about design. If Xiaomi has good hardware, then Meizu pleases with its sophisticated style. Pro 6 Plus is an updated model of last year's flagship of the company. Meizu Pro 7 is already on the way, but this smartphone should not be discounted either. He still looks decent - and not only externally, but inside.

The screen of the smartphone is quite large - 5.7 inches with QHD. However, it is not only the diagonal that pleases (well, or upsets). The phone received a SuperAMOLED-matrix with a bunch of useful "chips". One of the features was the 3D Press function (analogous to the 3D Touch of the latest iPhones). It serves to recognize the force of pressing the screen. The supplier of processors for this solution was Samsung. At the core, we have a rather nimble 8-core Exynos 8890, which is given 4 GB of RAM to help. The amount of internal memory you are free to choose: 64 or 128 GB. Particular attention in Meizu Pro 6 Plus is given to the main 12-megapixel camera, which received laser autofocus and optical stabilization. You will be happy with the pictures.

The large screen of the smartphone lacks an equally large battery - the Meizu Pro 6 Plus has a 3400 mAh battery.

Xiaomi Mi Max 2

• Price tag for Xiaomi Mi Max 2: from 15,000 rubles
• Features: the best phablet of recent times, decent performance, low price tag and a powerful battery

The most notable novelty of Xiaomi, which was eclipsed only by the flagship Mi6. Mi Max 2 is the highest quality phablet with a very large screen. Just very, very. Fans of compactness can avoid this handsome man, but we would ask fans of movies on the road, games and reading to stay. The smartphone is interesting!

Do you want to know everything about the new product? No wonder we prepared.

Well, it attracts, first of all, a huge screen - an impressive 6.44 inches in front of us. The company did not begin to aim at QHD, and even more so 4K - standard FullHD. Yes, and you don’t need more - there is no graininess, the battery lasts a long time. The cameras are not the best, but they were not emphasized. In addition, most and 12 + 5 MP with the ability to shoot in 4K will be in full. A fresh Snapdragon 625 with an energy-efficient technical process is at the head of the hardware. 4 GB of RAM is the unspoken standard of a more or less modern smartphone. Choose the permanent memory yourself: 64 or 128 GB. The autonomy of Xiaomi Mi Max 2 was taken care of by equipping the smartphone with a powerful 5300 mAh battery.

Xiaomi Mi Max 2, if you want a smartphone with a very large screen, is the best option in 2017. There are cheaper analogues (such as, for example) of similar sizes, but they do not guarantee you the same high quality and modern performance.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X

What do we have here? Xiaomi again? Namely, and not another, but one of the best-selling right now. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X is nothing short of the perfect 5.5-inch large-screen smartphone for most buyers. Its ideality lies in decent performance and a price that will not hit your wallet.

The display is typical - 5.5 inches with FullHD. However, the picture quality is excellent, covered with good glass and an oleophobic layer. Cameras are unlikely to surprise you, but they will not upset you either - standard 13 + 5 megapixels. But the "stuffing" pleases. At the core we get an energy-efficient Snapdragon 625 chip, which is complemented by a choice of 2, 3 or 4 GB of RAM. The storage capacity is also divided into versions: 16, 32 or 64 GB. The final chord is a 4100 mAh battery, which often plays a key argument in the dispute: which smartphone with a large screen is better?

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X is the best choice if you need a smartphone with a 5.5-inch screen, a good battery, high-quality assembly, but the price also plays an important role.

Conclusion

Large screens are becoming more and more popular. In the age of consumption of content that flows from everywhere, it is much more convenient to operate on 5.5 inches or more than to peer at a 4-inch screen. By no means do we want to offend fans of compact devices - the author of the article himself cannot change from a 5-inch solution to something larger.

By the way, after writing this rating, a great idea came up to collect in one article smartphones with small screens that are relevant in 2017. Subscribe to the newsletter (bell in the lower right corner) so as not to miss the latest articles.

What screens do you prefer? Big or small? Why? Let's discuss in the comments.

Currently, all smartphones with a screen of 6″ and more have already come close to the segment of small tablets.

Now handheld devices, which once included communication, launching media files and surfing the Internet, are becoming full-fledged tools for working with documents.

At the same time, unlike tablets, large smartphones can fit in your pocket and, in general, are equipped with good cameras - front and front.

Although the popularity of such models is not as great as that of models with a 5-inch screen, therefore the choice of phablets is small.

Among the best options on the market, about a dozen devices can be noted.

Xiaomi Mi Max 32Gb - Huge screen and great battery

Smartphone Xiaomi Mi Max 32Gb offers its owner to get the maximum pleasure from watching movies.

A device with a screen diagonal of 6.44″ is almost as large as a tablet, has FullHD resolution and a six-core processor that can run any video and application.

At the same time, a memory capacity of 32 GB is enough to record a huge amount of information, and a 4850 mAh battery will extend the operating time of the phablet before recharging up to 6–8 hours, even in maximum load mode.

It is worth noting that using a huge smartphone is much more convenient than similar-sized tablets - its weight is only 203 g, and the 5 and 16 megapixel cameras allow you to shoot landscapes and selfies.

Technical specifications:

• screen: 6.44″, 1920×1080;
• Memory: 3 GB RAM, 32 GB storage;
• cameras: front 16 MP, front 5 MP;
• battery: 4850 mAh;
• price: from 13 thousand rubles.

Xperia T2 Ultra Dual - Great sound

The Xperia T2 Ultra Dual model from the well-known brand Sony could be considered a good budget tablet phone with average characteristics, suitable for users for whom the main thing is the screen size.

However, the popularity of the smartphone is hindered by a too low quality-to-price ratio.

With only 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory, 13 and 1.1 megapixel cameras (hardly enough for a normal selfie), the phablet costs 16-18 thousand rubles, forcing many buyers to choose other devices.

Although the T2 Ultra Dual also has certain advantages - for example, high build quality, which is far more affordable for Chinese brands, and excellent sound - especially in headphones, which most inexpensive tablets cannot boast of either.

Device parameters:

• memory: RAM 1 GB, disk 8 GB;
• display 6", 1920×1080;
• battery: Li-Ion, 3000 mAh;
• cameras: main 13 MP, front 1.1 MP;
• cost: from 16,000 thousand rubles.

Sony Xperia XA Ultra - Phablet with the most powerful camera

Another model from Sony, the Xperia XA Ultra, will also cost a lot.

However, its advantages are noticeable at first sight - this is a 21.5 megapixel camera (the best choice on the tablet phone market), and its 16 megapixel front-facing version for high-quality selfies, and an eight-core processor, and 3 GB of RAM.

Other advantages include an aluminum-framed body and shock-resistant glass, thanks to which the phablet is well protected from falls.

The only drawback for such a large smartphone is only 16 GB of storage, with much better offers from other manufacturers.

However, the problem of lack of memory is easily solved by installing a 128 GB card.

Specifications:

• screen: 6", 1920×1080;
• processor: 8 cores, 2 GHz;
• cameras: 21.5 MP and 16 MP;
• memory: 3 and 16 GB;
• price level: from 24900 rubles.

Sony Xperia C5 Ultra Dual – Best for selfies

Despite the outward resemblance to small tablets, the Sony Xperia C5 Ultra Dual model differs from them not only in the ability to call and send messages (although tablet PCs with a 3G module are capable of this), but also in excellent cameras.

Two identical 13-megapixel devices with Selfie Flash allow you to take clear pictures and selfies at any time of the day.

The high-brightness screen will provide high-quality viewing of images, movies, and Internet content.

While the 2930 mAh battery holds a charge of up to 600 hours in standby mode and up to 7 hours in active mode.

Tablet options:

• screen: 6", 1920×1080;
• cameras: main and front 13 megapixels;
• processor: 8 cores at 1.7 GHz;
• price: from 19850 rubles.

Lenovo A889 Black - The most affordable phablet

Lenovo, known for its inexpensive smartphones, did not disappoint phablet lovers in this regard.

The Chinese brand offered their attention to the A889 Black smartphone with a 6-inch screen and low weight.

And, although the model has below average storage and RAM, and a screen resolution lower than many 5-inch options (960x540), it can compete at the expense of price.

On the Internet, A889 can be bought for 7500-9000 rubles. At the same time, an 8 megapixel camera is enough for shooting, and a 0.3 megapixel front camera will only allow you to chat via Skype.

Additional advantages include relatively good sound, and disadvantages include Android 4.2.2, which the user will most likely have to update manually, and a battery of only 2500 mAh.

Device parameters:

• screen: 6", 960×540;
• memory: 1 and 8 GB;
• battery: 2500 mAh;
• cost: from 7500 rubles.

Lenovo S930 - Stylish design

Lenovo's more expensive model, the six-inch S930 phablet, looks very stylish, especially for its price (only 10,500 rubles).

Although it still has little internal memory - 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage.

The cameras, compared to other competitors, leave much to be desired - parameters such as 8 megapixels and 1.6 megapixels can be found on modern tablets.

The main advantages of the model are good color reproduction and an extended viewing angle due to the IPS screen, as well as a weight of 170 g and an LED flash, which, however, according to user reviews, is practically useless when lighting is reduced.

Smartphone parameters:

• screen: IPS, 6", 1280×720;
• battery: lithium-ion, 3000 mAh;
• processor: 4 cores at 1.3 GHz;
• cameras: 8 MP and 1.6 MP;
• Memory: 1 GB RAM, 8 GB storage;
• price: from 10.5 thousand rubles.

Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro The sharpest screen ever

The advantage of the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro model is the ability to run on it not only any modern application, which allows you to make 3 GB of RAM, but also watch a movie in FullHD quality.

The screen resolution is 2560×1440 pixels - more than any affordable phablet and higher than most tablets.

Although the price of a smartphone at the same time is at the level of 15,000 rubles - quite a lot for an average brand model.

But the acquisition of such a tablet phone will allow you to take not only high-quality photos (with a 16-megapixel main camera and a 4-megapixel front camera), but also shoot videos in UltraHD (4K) format.

The 4000 mAh battery will last for a whole day with constant use of the gadget.

LeEco Max X900 - A real competitor to the iPhone

At a fairly high cost (23.8 thousand rubles, at the level of $350), the LeEco (LeTV) Max X900 smartphone received quite decent characteristics, allowing it to become a worthy rival to Apple.

These include an 8-core processor with a core frequency of 2200 MHz, 64 GB of memory, 4 GB of RAM and a 21 MP camera with autofocus and flash.

At the same time, additional memory cannot be installed - the phone does not have a slot for expanding the drive, just like the iPhones, which the LeEco brand wants to compete with.

Smartphone Features:

• screen: 6.33", 2560 × 1440;
• cameras: 21 MP and 4 MP;
• Memory: 64 GB storage, 4 GB RAM;

• price: from 23.8 thousand rubles.

Meizu M3 Max - A good replacement for a small tablet

The manufacturers of the Meizu M3 Max set the main task of creating a device that could replace both a tablet and a smartphone.

To do this, they installed 3 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal memory and a 4100 mAh battery on their phablet.

At the same time, less attention was paid to the cameras - but still, using a tablet phone, you can shoot in front of you and take selfies.

And powerful processors (the eight-core MediaTek Helio P10 and the Mali-T860 graphics chipset) ensure the operation of any programs without the slightest delay.

HUAWEI Mate8 32GB - Best Phablet Contender

The HUAWEI Mate8 32GB tablet phone can be called the flagship model of its manufacturer.

Indeed, in addition to 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of external storage, there is also a powerful Mali T880 GPU, an eight-core Huawei Kirin 950 chipset and two good cameras (16 and 8 MP).

The strength of the screen is increased thanks to a special 2.5D-glass, which practically does not break as a result of mechanical impact.

And as the OS, a modern version of Android 6.0 is used. All this could make the phablet one of the most popular - but it costs as much as 27 thousand rubles.

Specifications:

• screen 6″, 1920×1080;
• graphics: Mali T880 MP4;
• camera: 16 MP and 8 MP;

Another Huawei model does not claim to be among the best in terms of performance.

However, the P8max still stands out from all other tablets due to its size - a screen size of 6.88 inches and a 4360 mAh battery make it almost a tablet PC.

Moreover, with decent cameras (13 and 5 megapixels), and 3 gigabytes of RAM.

Device parameters:

• main camera: 13 MP, front 5 MP;

Samsung A9000 Galaxy A9 - Good old, big Samsung

Many buyers, choosing the right smartphone, will buy the Samsung A9000 Galaxy A9 already for the fact that at the moment it is the largest model of this manufacturer.

Moreover, not as expensive as some of the flagships from Samsung, and productive enough to compete with other phablets.

Running on Android OS, v5.1.1, the device is equipped with a main 13-megapixel camera and another 8-megapixel front camera, which allows you to take good pictures in any mode.

Another plus is the Super AMOLED display familiar to flagship Samsung models with good resolution, high brightness and durability.

Summing up

As you can see from the review, not everyone needs to buy phablets - models with similar characteristics at about the same price, but with extended battery life (due to a smaller screen) can also be purchased in the 5-inch smartphone segment.

Perhaps, when manufacturers take into account that an increase in the diagonal should be accompanied by a corresponding increase in charge (from 4000 mAh and above), tablet phones will become more popular.

Although the demand for them is unlikely to ever reach a level comparable to smaller models.

First of all, because of the ease of use, and secondly, because already 5-5.5 inches is enough to perform all the tasks for which a smartphone can be used.

At the same time, six-inch and even larger devices have a right to exist, filling the gap between standard touch phones and tablet PCs.
