Top Large Screen Phones in 2025

Large screen mobile phones dominate the market now, offering everything from 6.8” powerhouse slabs to ultra-slim foldables.

HONOR’s Magic foldable series leads the charge, serving up huge, high-refresh OLED panels in bodies thinner than a pencil, without skimping on power or battery life. Below are three standout models worth checking out:

HONOR Magic V3

The HONOR Magic V3 takes foldable design to the next level. At just 9.2 mm thick when folded and 4.4 mm when open, it’s one of the slimmest, lightest book-style foldable yet, weighing only 226 g.

You get a 6.43-inch 120 Hz OLED cover screen for one-hand use and a 7.92-inch LTPO OLED inside that delivers rich colours for streaming or multitasking. With support for HONOR’s Magic Pen on both screens, you can sketch, sign, or scribble notes wherever inspiration strikes.

Inside, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, paired with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, handles anything you throw at it. A 5,150 mAh silicon-carbon battery keeps you going, supporting 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. Plus, with its IPX8 rating and an all-new HONOR Super Steel hinge, it’s built for the long haul.

What’s good:

● One of the thinnest and lightest foldable in its class.
● Flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset with 5,150 mAh silicon-carbon battery.
● Dual 120 Hz OLEDs (6.43” outer / 7.92” inner).
● 50 MP wide + 50 MP 3.5× periscope + 40 MP ultrawide cameras.
● IPX8 water resistance and durable Super Steel hinge.

HONOR Magic V2

The HONOR Magic V2 is another big display phone that stands out for its ultra-thin profile and premium build. Folded, it measures 9.9 mm thick and weighs just 231 g, opening up to a mere 4.7 mm. Both the 7.92-inch inner and 6.43-inch outer OLED displays support 120 Hz refresh rates for smooth scrolling and stylus input.

Powering it all is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, along with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, more than enough for heavy multitasking. Its 5,000 mAh dual silicon-carbon battery lasts up to two days on a charge and supports 66W wired fast charging. The triple-camera system—featuring a 50 MP main, 50 MP ultrawide, and 20 MP 2.5× telephoto lens—delivers solid results in most conditions.

What’s good:

● Slim and lightweight design.
● HONOR’s super-light titanium hinge guarantees folds without flinching.
● Dual stylus-ready 120 Hz OLED screens.
● Powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset plus 16 GB RAM for seamless multitasking.
● Long-lasting 5,000 mAh battery with 66W fast charging.

HONOR Magic V2 RSR

Take the Magic V2 chassis, wrap it in Porsche Design’s ridged Agate Grey shell, and you have the V2 RSR, a luxury foldable aimed at speed lovers. The hardware is familiar: 7.92-inch / 6.43-inch 120 Hz OLEDs, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and a 5,000 mAh battery with 66W wired charging.

What’s new is a generous 1 TB of storage, Porsche-branded UI accents, and a boxed-in active stylus. At 9.9 mm folded, it’s impressively slim and makes a great statement piece of the large-screen crowd.

What’s good:

● Head-turning premium Porsche Design finish with custom UI.
● Massive 1 TB storage and bundled stylus.
● Ultra-thin 9.9 mm folded and 4.7 mm unfolded profile.

Key Features to Look for When Choosing Big Screen Phones

When shopping for large display cell phones, focus on these essentials to ensure you get the most out of your investment:

A display you can see anywhere

A modern large-screen phone should reach at least 2,000 nits of peak brightness so you can read it in direct sun, and it needs HDR10+ or Dolby Vision support for richer streaming colours.

Go for OLED or LTPO OLED panels; LTPO lets the refresh rate float between 1 Hz and 120 Hz, saving power when the image is static and ramping up for gaming or fast scrolling.

Size, shape & ergonomics

Anything past 6.8 inches (or a 7-plus-inch inner display on a foldable) needs smart ergonomics. Look for taller aspect ratios and built-in one-handed modes that pull the UI down so your thumb can reach it.

A weight under roughly 230 g and tapered edges also help keep the phone comfortable during long reading or gaming sessions.

Camera system

Look for a versatile triple-lens system that includes wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto options, which give you the flexibility to capture everything from sweeping landscapes to detailed close-ups. Also, consider models with advanced AI enhancements that intelligently adjust settings to help you take great shots with minimal effort.

Durable glass and hinges

For slabs, check for the newest chemically strengthened glass or “ultra-thin glass” overlays that resist micro-scratches.

Foldables add another watch-item: a hinge certified for 300,000–500,000 cycles and, ideally, an IPX8 water-resistance rating so rain or spills won’t end the party early.

Battery chemistry and capacity

Big screens need big batteries. Aim for phones with at least 5,000 mAh for decent all-day usage. Silicon-carbon batteries are worth considering as they offer 10-20% more energy in the same space, allowing for slimmer designs without sacrificing battery life.

Fast charging

Fast charging is essential for large display phones, but you’ll want a solution that’s safe. The USB Power Delivery (PD) standard is widely adopted and typically supports up to 45W to 60W to quickly recharge those larger batteries.

Many Android brands also offer proprietary fast-charging technologies optimized for their devices, such as HONOR SuperCharge, which can push charging speeds to 100W or higher for even faster top-ups.

If you prefer the ease of wireless charging, make sure your phone supports that too.

Performance that stays cool

You’ll want large screen telephones that perform smoothly even when you’re multitasking or gaming. Flagship chipsets like Snapdragon 8 Gen 3/2 paired with vapor-chamber cooling systems help prevent throttling during heavy use. For seamless multitasking, at least 12 GB of RAM is a great choice. It ensures that multiple apps can run smoothly without needing to reload.

Caring for Your Big Phone: Tips and Tricks

Owning a large screen phone is an investment, so keeping it in top condition is key. Whether you’ve got a sleek foldable or a massive slab, here are some easy tips and tricks to ensure your phone stays looking and working like new:

● Wrap it right: Get yourself a slim, durable case with raised edges and rubberized sides for extra grip. This not only keeps the phone safe from drops but also makes it easier to handle.

● Respect the screen (and hinge): For foldables, never peel off the protective film or try to press on the inner screen with hard objects like pens or fingernails. Keep the inside clean by gently wiping crumbs or dust away before closing. For other large screen phones, avoid using sharp objects near the display, and treat it with care to keep the screen scratch-free.

● Clean the right way: Use a microfiber cloth (slightly dampened) to gently clean the screen and avoid using chemical sprays or abrasive cloths. For foldable screens, stick to a dry cloth and avoid using canned air, which could push dirt into the hinge.

● Charge with care: Fast charging is a great convenience, but try to avoid charging to 100% or letting the battery drop too low too often. Aim to keep your battery between 20% and 80% for the best long-term health. If you have the option, use adaptive charging settings to slow down charging as it nears full to prevent heat buildup.

● Update and optimize: Make sure you install software updates when they’re available. These updates often include battery optimizations and security patches. Many phones have settings that optimize battery health over time, so check out those settings to maximize your phone’s lifespan.

Conclusion

A big screen can make a big difference, whether you’re streaming your favourite shows, working on the go, or just tired of squinting at tiny text. With the right large screen phone, you’ll get more done and enjoy every swipe, tap, and scroll.

Now it’s your turn: pick the one that fits your style, focus on the features that matter most to you, and don’t forget to use those care tips to keep your device in perfect shape.

FAQs

Which phone has a 6.8 screen size?

The HONOR Magic6 Pro boasts a 6.8‑inch OLED Quad‑Curved Floating Screen, delivering a sharp 2,800 × 1,280 resolution, and over 1.07 billion colours for truly immersive viewing. Its sleek, quad‑curved design, and high 5000-nit peak brightness ensure crisp detail whether you’re gaming, streaming or editing photos on the go.

Is 6.1 inch too big for a phone?

A 6.1-inch phone is actually considered compact by today’s standards, as many modern smartphones now range from 6.5 to 6.9 inches. It strikes a comfortable balance between portability and screen size, making it easy to use with one hand for most people. If you prefer a phone that’s easier to hold, fits well in pockets, and still offers a solid viewing experience, 6.1 inches is a practical and user-friendly choice.

Can I use a 7-inch phone one-handed?

Using a 7-inch phone one-handed can be challenging for most people due to its larger size. The increased width and height make it difficult to reach all parts of the screen comfortably with one hand. However, many modern smartphones offer one-handed modes that shrink the display area for easier access. Additionally, accessories like phone grips or cases with built-in handles can provide better control.
