The all-screen front craze is making it easier than ever to find 6 inch phablets And the best thing is that the trend is spreading to the mid-range and even basic, so that we also have affordable alternatives. Taking advantage of the fact that this week we have had a couple of very interesting additions, we review the best options en all price ranges.
Galaxy Note 8
We are going from the most expensive to the most affordable, so we have to start with the Galaxy Note 8, the latest model of the pioneer of the phablets, although it is true that its official price exceeds 1000 euros, but right now it can usually be found without too many problems for $900, and sometimes even cheaper. There are few that also offer us a larger screen (6.3 inches) and has the added appeal of including the S Pen, all with technical specifications of the highest level, including an excellent Super AMOLED screen with Quad HD resolution and a large 12 MP dual camera
Galaxy S9 More
The official price of the Galaxy S9 More is something lower$950), but it is not yet with such notable discounts. If we can do without the S Pen, it may be an even more interesting option than the Galaxy Note 9, since its screen is only a little smaller (6.2 inches) and shares many of its virtues, but being a more recent model there are some points where it still improves, such as the processor (his is a Exynos 9810, more powerful still) or the camera (with dual aperture).
Huawei P20 Pro
El Huawei P20 Pro is a very recent entry in this list (it was presented this week, as you know), so much so that we will have to wait a bit to get our hands on it, but it is worth taking it into account, always without losing sight of the fact that We are facing another of those options for those who go without a budget limit, since it will be sold for $900. Your screen is 6.1 inchesOLED too but, yes, with a slightly lower resolution (Full HD). Where the Huawei P20 Pro really draws attention is in the section of cameras, with simply spectacular figures, arriving with three sensors, 40 MP and x3 optical zoom.
LG V30
If we are looking for high-end phablets but with somewhat more contained prices, it is worth taking into account the Huawei Mate 10, although its screen has been one step away from 6 inches (5.9 inches), but if size is paramount for us we can then consider LG V30, which has an official price of $700 but that you can also buy something cheaper now. An option not as striking as others but very balanced, with Quad HD OLED screen, Snapdragon 835 and 16 MP dual camera.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S
El Mi Mix 2S is another of the recently presented and we do not yet know how much it will cost us in Spain, although it does not seem too risky to calculate that it will be around $500, like its predecessor. For that figure, it is one of the best options we have, and it may be worth waiting a little for it to be purchased here: the screen is of 6 inches and “only” Full HD, but it already comes with a Snapdragon 845 and camera (dual 12 MP) has managed to enter the top 5 of the DxO ranking.
OnePlus 5T
In the case of OnePlus 5T we may be interested in waiting a bit too, but in this case because the launch of its successor seems to be more or less close. It must be borne in mind, on the other hand, that we do not know if it will go up in price again. If we want it now, this is probably the best option right now for a few $500, with OLED screen 6 inches with Full HD resolution, Snapdragon 835 processor and 20 MP dual camera (a bonus for selfie fans is a 16 MP front camera).
Xperia XA2 Ultra
A classic of the 6 inches are undoubtedly the "Ultra" phablets of Sony and the latest model, this Xperia XA2 Ultra it couldn't be left off the list. With him we already enter the field of the mid-range, although it is one of the most expensive in this field. The screen is 6 inches and it has Full HD resolution and the camera is 23 MP (the main one is simple, by the way, but there is a dual one on the front). Where the jump with the high-end is perhaps most noticeable is in the performance section, however, since here we have a Snapdragon 630.
Nokia 7 Plus
The presentation of Nokia 7 Plus It is not so recent (it took place at the MWC, as you may remember) but it is another that is still pending to reach the stores here but that must also be borne in mind if we are looking for a more mid-range phablet. It was announced by $400 and for that price its characteristics are quite interesting, with a screen of 6 inches Full HD, Snapdragon 660 processor and 12 MP dual camera. It has the extra appeal of being a Android One, which implies that it arrives with pure Android and should assume that it receives the updates sooner as well.
We are Max 2
El We are Max 2 It is a somewhat older model, but although we have heard enough about its successor, we do not know how long we will have to wait for it, so if you are looking for an even more affordable alternative ($280), it is worth not ruling it out. It is also the clearest option for those who want a screen as large as possible in the mid-range field, since theirs is 6.44 inches. The worst thing is probably that that size coupled with the fact that it came before the fashion of reduced frames makes it a device quite voluminous.
Redmi 5 Plus
We end up with an option within the reach of all pockets, the proof that you no longer need to make a large outlay to enjoy a large screen (6 inches), because we can buy it directly from Xiaomi in Spain for only $180. In addition to a stylish, fashionable design, the Redmi 5 Plus It leaves us somewhat more modest but still quite interesting technical specifications, including Full HD resolution, Snapdragon 625 processor and 12 MP camera with 1,25 um pixels.
