Would you be interested in a phone with a screen that’s over 8 inches? Basically, you’re looking at a tablet but with all of the functions and features of a smartphone (including a higher-quality camera). Thanks to the rise in popularity of foldable phones such as the Huawei Mate Xs and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, consumers are now able to enjoy a fold-out smartphone screen that increases display space by more than a couple of inches. Here’s what to look for when comparing the phones with the biggest screens.
Is a bigger screen worth it?
The answer to that question depends on what you’re looking for out of a smartphone. Phones with bigger screens typically also come with higher pixel densities, higher resolutions, immersive viewing, and even often higher battery power. Is this important? If visuals are important to you, yes. An 8” screen means that you’re able to enjoy widescreen viewing, larger text, and multi-window functions that allow you to divide the screen into two to engage in two tasks at the same time. This is great for working professionals, freelancers, students, and other similar consumers who multitask quite frequently on their phones.
The benefits of multitasking made easy
While you can simply get a tablet if you’re interested in a larger screen for easier viewing, newer smartphones with larger screens are built to allow users to easily multitask. The Huawei Mate Xs, for example, comes with an intelligent multi-window function and the Huawei App Multiplier, allowing you to open one app in two split windows or to manage multiple apps or tasks at the same time in the two windows. Likewise, folding phones with larger screens also allow you to capture hands-free pictures and engage in video calls without having to hold the phone or place it on a stand.
Typing on a phone with a larger screen
It’s easy to see why someone interested in playing games or streaming movies from their phone might want a phone with a larger screen. But, what about those who are tired of typing on a tiny screen? Phones such as the Microsoft Surface Duo that fold out to allow for expanded viewing also offer you the ability to use one side of the screen as an expanded keyboard. Texting just got a whole lot easier.
