Six Benefits you can get from giant screen

Sep 16, 2017 6:58AM PDT

5.5-inch sized smartphone has always been the trend, but it hasn't stop the smartphones growing bigger. And it has opened a new segment called "phablet".

What a big screen gives you?

Visual Pleasure
The large display offers more real estate to house widgets and App icons and they are ideal to enjoy high definition wallpapers.

Less scroll
Bigger display produces more content on a single page to avoid scrolling, it is great for e-book reading, online shopping, website browsing, etc.

Easy on social networking
Large screen devices are very comfortable and convenient to browse the updates on social networks.

Office On-The-Go
Easier for creating or editing documents and files right on smartphones

Spacious typing range
Easy and accurate typing, more relaxing while typing on bigger virtual keyboard

Immersive games
Engaging gaming experience, with extended view and bigger control panel for accurate operation.

List of candidate phones deleted because it contained a spammed one.

There are just as many consumers who prefer a smaller screen, such as an iPhone SE over an iPhone X.

About the same as most phones.

Average life span (4 foot drops kill most) and rain is not a good idea. So to call these reliable in the real world is laughable.
