Summary
Four traditional smartphones made SlashGear’s 2026 giant-screen shortlist: the OnePlus 15, Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
6.8- to 6.9-inch displays drove the picks, with the list excluding foldables and defining “truly gigantic” premium phones as roughly 6.9 inches.
OnePlus’ $900 model stood out for value and endurance, pairing a 6.78-inch 165Hz screen with a 7,300 mAh battery and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip.
Apple, Google and Samsung’s entries start at $1,200 to $1,300, emphasizing bright 120Hz OLED panels, long software support and flagship cameras or stylus features.
The ranking reflects how mainstream smartphones have moved well beyond 6.5 inches, making large displays a standard draw for gaming, video and battery life.
