The biggest attraction of phablets is their big screen. Now, many are moving beyond the 5.5-inch display and opting for larger screens. ET Wealth lists some of the best available and upcoming large screen options.

ASUS ZENFONE 3 ULTRA
Price: Rs 35, 000 (expected)
Sporting a massive 6.8-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, the smartphone is expected to arrive in India in a few months. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 4 and you get a 6.8mm slim unibody design. Inside is a Snapdragon 652 processor with an option of 3 or 4GB RAM and 32/64/128GB storage. You also get a 23MP camera with OIS, laser autofocus and dual LED flash.

GIONEE MARATHON M5 PLUS
Price: 26, 999
We recently reviewed the M5 Plus and were instantly impressed with its gorgeous 6-inch full HD display that uses an AMOLED panel. The panel delivers vivid colors with deep blacks and great contrast. Another highlight of the phone is its massive 5, 000mAh battery that delivers close to two days of backup. Performance is great thanks to the octa-core processor with 3GB RAM and you get 64GB of internal storage (expandable). The dual SIM phone weighs 208 grams and comes with a 13MP primary camera with phase detection autofocus and a 5MP front camera.

LENOVO PHAB PLUS

Phab Plus aims to deliver a great large screen device on a budget—you get a 6.8-inch full HD display in a 7.6mm slim design. Inside is a Snapdragon 615 processor, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage and a 3, 500mAh battery. Also included are a 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, 4G, WiFi ac, Bluetooth, microSD slot for storage expansion and dual SIM slot. The one big issue?

SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 EDGE PLUS
