Watching a video, playing or just reading e-books on a large-screen smartphone is a pleasure.
And so that you can choose the largest smartphone of 2019, we offer a look at the top ten best phablets. Almost all of them are on sale in Russia and have a good user rating on Yandex.Market. The cost of each model is indicated for the maximum configuration.
10. Samsung Galaxy S10 +
The average price is 124,990 rubles.
Specifications:

Galaxy S10 + takes 3rd place in the ranking of smartphones in 2019. With it, you get, perhaps, the best display that modern Samsung phones have. It is brighter and clearer than previous models.
The Galaxy S10 + is a powerful and impressive phone in almost every way. Under the “hood” you will find a lot of interesting things, including the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, from 8 to 12 GB of RAM and internal storage up to 1 TB with the possibility of expansion using a microSD card.
The battery is also quite large, its capacity is 4100 mAh, which is enough for one or two days, depending on how you use the phone. When it comes to charging time, Samsung offers fast wired and wireless charging.
What is still impressive about the S10 + is its main camera. It has three sensors:
- 12 megapixel main sensor;
- 12 megapixel telephoto lens;
- and an ultra-wide 16-megapixel sensor.
Not only do photos look great, but also the presence of cameras with different focal lengths allows you to capture many interesting moments that are not available for devices with "weak" cameras.
pros: an elegant case made of glass and metal, there is a headphone jack, a huge AMOLED display with excellent contrast and black depth, as well as a large margin of brightness.

LG is struggling with Samsung, and the V40 is a worthy rival to the S10 +. Not only does this smartphone have a large and juicy 6.4-inch AMOLED display, it also boasts a triple camera system that works the same as the S10 +.
Some features, such as a 3300 mAh battery and a Snapdragon 845 processor, look pale compared to the Galaxy S10 +, but if you are not ready to give more than 100 thousand rubles for a mobile phone, pay attention to the LG V40 ThinQ. This is a good and inexpensive large smartphone, the capabilities of which are more than enough for the next couple of years.

A screen protected by Gorilla Glass 6 covers almost the entire front of the phone, with the exception of a tiny drop-shaped recess at the top. It houses the front camera. As a result, the screen-to-body ratio is 85.4 percent.
The Oppo RX17 Pro is equipped with a mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chipset, which will be enough for all everyday needs, including new games at medium settings and “heavy” applications.
In addition to the large screen size, the pride of the RX17 Pro is a rear camera, consisting of:
- 12 MP main sensor with a Smart Aperture f / 1.5-f / 2.4 lens, which automatically adjusts to low light levels. The main camera also supports optical image stabilization (OIS).
- A second 20-megapixel camera with an f / 2.6 lens provides depth of field information and 2x optical zoom.
- The third camera is a time-of-flight device (ToF), which uses an infrared port to measure distance. For example, you can use it for 3D scanning.
Another attractive practical feature of the RX17 is its incredibly fast charge.
pros: Good battery life, fast fingerprint recognition right on the screen.

The powerful Snapdragon 845 processor and from 6 to 8 GB of RAM guarantee that the OnePlus 6T will not glitch and freeze in the latest games or with several open applications.
This phone also has a fingerprint sensor built into the screen, a shift lever for normal-vibration-silent modes, and an excellent rear camera.
pros: convenient proprietary shell, fast face recognition, the network catches even where other phones "pass".

The A12 Bionic processor does not offer a huge leap compared to the A11, according to tests, the difference in speed between the two chips is approximately 15 percent in favor of the A12.
Finally, the Neural Engine chip has been increased from two to eight cores, which allows it to process 5 trillion operations per second. Benefits of this approach include the ability to process photos faster, which in turn means that you can use features like Smart HDR.
In addition, the Xs Max is the largest iPhone to date.
pros: The best battery life of all iPhones, a screen with a maximum brightness of 625 nits, and support for HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

- 6 GB RAM
- 3000 mAh battery
- weight of 180 g, WxHxT 73x167x8.30 mm
The 2019 novelty in the ranking of large smartphones does not fall into the top class, but this does not prevent it from having something that more expensive models cannot boast of. Namely, the aspect ratio is 21: 9.
This tells us that Sony has opted for a screen that's perfect for watching videos, television shows or streams. In addition, the Xperia 10 Plus Dual can work in split-screen mode.
It would seem that due to the large size of this model, it is impossible for her to use one hand. However, Sony took this flaw into account and came up with a solution called Side sense. It allows you to "squeeze" the screen to half the size. To access it, double-click on the tiny, almost invisible strip halfway down the right edge of the screen.
pros: excellent value for money, it is possible to expand the amount of memory.
Minuses: The photographs taken with the main camera are not impressive in quality, and it is probably advisable to avoid shooting in dark conditions.

The Chinese company Vivo is aware of current design trends. One of her best creations - V15 - lacks “monobrow”, but is equipped with a retractable selfie camera with a resolution of 32 MP, which looks unusual, stylish and innovative.
The huge frameless display (the ratio of the screen to the body is about 91%, according to Vivo) is very contrasting, bright and clear. In addition, a fingerprint sensor is built into it.
Inside is a powerful and energy-efficient MediaTek Helio P70 processor - a competitor to the popular Snapdragon 710. It comes with a large amount of RAM and a Mali-G72 MP3 video accelerator.
pros: Beautiful back cover color modulations, AMOLED screen of excellent quality with high contrast and vibrant colors.

We live in an era of aggressive smartphone marketing, which says that you need to change your mobile phone every year. But if you buy a phone as powerful as the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 in 2019, it will be useful for at least three years.
The “Little Brother” in the trio boasts a low price compared with the first two places in the rating, and at the same time with a modern filling, including:
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor and Adreno 509 graphics chip. Graphics performance improved compared to Mi Max 2. Previously, it reached 22 frames per second in the GFXBench T-Rex, and the new generation Mi Max can process 34 frames per second. This is a playable frame rate if you don't want to load the phone with something too intense.
- From 4 to 6 GB of RAM.
- A good rear camera that can shoot in 4K. In the camera application, you can change several manual settings, but it is better to let the camera with AI pre-select the best scene for you. You can also put the HDR on the car or turn it on or off.
- An updated 8-megapixel selfie camera can also be used to unlock the phone through the face recognition of the owner.
The huge Full-HD + screen with an aspect ratio of 18 9 is protected by Gorilla Glass 3. It is incredibly bright (440 cd / m2), which makes it easier to see in the sun.
pros: loud and clear sound, long operating time (up to 3 days of moderate-active use), there is a fast charge, a convenient shell.
Minuses: no NFC, weak vibration (in noisy rooms you can skip a call), to be able to unlock the smartphone in the face you have to set the Singapore or Hong Kong region in the settings.
2. Honor Note 10
The average price is 27 560 rubles.

- 8 GB RAM
- 5000 mAh battery
- weight 230 g, WxHxT 85x177x8.5 mm
Considering that the Chinese native market for Honor traditionally requires huge screens, the company responded to this requirement with the release of Note 10 - an OLED smartphone with amazing performance and good battery life.
The Honor Note 10 has Kirin 970 installed - the same chip that is available inside the Huawei P20 Pro. Despite not being so fast compared to the A12 Bionic, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 and even its own Huawei Kirin 980 processor, it copes with all modern games and applications.
The dual rear camera has a bokeh effect, 2x zoom and monochrome mode. The cameras are very good, but not perfect, partly due to the oversaturation of colors.
pros: The battery lasts for 1-2 days, there is a fast charge, HDR10 content is supported.
Minuses: there is no headphone jack, there is no wireless charging, it is difficult to find in Russia, you have to buy on eBay, Aliexpress or other well-known Internet sites.

The Mate 20 X screen has excellent color reproduction and viewing angles, and a lower resolution (1080p FHD + compared to the 1440p 2K in the Mate 20 Pro) combined with a huge 5000 mAh battery extends the battery life.
The phone is compatible with the M-Pen Mate 20 X stylus, which in its capabilities is similar to the S-Pen Galaxy Note phones. If you buy it, you can use it to navigate the interface or take handwritten notes in the Memo application.
Interesting fact: The Mate 20 X is one of three Fortnite certified phones at 60 frames per second along with the Honor View 20 and the US version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
