Big screen smartphones have been the rage for a while now. Initially popularised by Samsung and other first tier smartphone makers, big screens quickly trickled down to the mid-range and then to the budget smartphone segment, with companies like Xiaomi, Motorola and others capitalising on the trend.
However, not all displays are created equal. If you are looking for a smartphone with a big, vivid display, we have compiled a list of the best big screen smartphones in India across different price segments.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus has a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a new Infinity-O display that has a laser-cut hole in the top right corner. While the smaller S10 has a circular hole in the display for the front camera, the S10 Plus has a capsule-like hole in order to reside two lenses.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus runs the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system, Android 9 Pie, with a layer of Samsung's own OneUI on top. It is easy to navigate, feels smooth and allows a variety of customizations. The device features a powerful Exynos 9820 chipset with a minimum of 8GB RAM (12GB in the Ultimate Performance Edition) to provide plenty of grunt. The Galaxy S10 Plus is undoubtedly the most advanced and balanced phone by Samsung right now.
