The table above contains an overview over the best phablets reviewed by Notebookcheck over the course of the past 12 months as well as still relevant and available older products. In cases of identical score the more recent device is listed first. All prices in above table and price comparisons are updated daily and can thus differ.
1st – Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra features a 6.8-inch extremely bright Super AMOLED display running in WQHD+ resolution with support for an adaptive 120 Hz refresh rate. It is powered by an Exynos 2100 with at least 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128 GB of internal storage and 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage in the high-end SKU. MicroSD expension is no longer supported.
Its quad-camera features a 108 MP sensor, an ultra-wide angle lens, and two zoom lenses with 3x and 10x optical zoom, respectively, and support for up to 100x digital zoom. Supported communication standards include 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC. Battery life was decent overall. The device also supports Samsung’s S-Pen although it is not included by default and needs to be purchased separately.
In our review, the S21 Ultra managed to prove its value. However, VHT160 Wi-Fi turned out to be rather poor, and the lack of Bluetooth audio codecs can be frustrating at times.

2nd – Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra features a 6.9-inch dynamic OLED display with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. Not only does the panel support HDR10 and HDR10+, it is also the brightest smartphone display we have ever seen. The Note 20 Ultra is powered by an Exynos 990 with 12 GB of RAM and features a whopping 256 GB of microSD expandable UFS 3.1 storage. Its fast USB 3.2 port supports connecting external displays as well as DeX, among other things. The latter is now also supported wirelessly. Like before the Note includes Samsung’s S pen whose slot has been relocated from the right to the left-hand side.
The tripe-camera setup performed very well and includes a depth-of-field sensor. Samsung’s Note 20 is furthermore IP68-certified against ingress of dust and water and supports 5G and Wi-Fi 6. Too bad the display will only run at 120 Hz in FHD+ resolution.
Pricecompare
3rd – Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2’s foldable OLED display measures 7.6-inches. It is a bit smaller than on its predecessor but in return is not only significantly brighter but also supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The foldable is powered by Qualcomm’s current top-of-the-line SoC supported by 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB of non-expandable storage space, and the latest in communication equipment and connectivity. Only the triple-camera had to take a step back and lacks Samsung’s latest and greatest sensor.
In our test, the Fold2 offered a great concept with useful optimizations, in particularly the massively improved outside display. Nevertheless, the Fold2 remains a comparatively sensitive piece of technology.
Pricecompare
4th – Xiaomi Mi 11
The Xiaomi Mi 11 features a large 6.81-inch 120 Hz AMOLED display running at a high 1440p resolution. Its Snapdragon 888 should ensure a very high level of system performance but is unable to keep it up for a long time due to the device’s mediocre cooling. Nevertheless, it remains a fast chip with access to 8 GB of RAM and either 128 or 256 GB of non-expandable internal storage.
Its triple camera worked decent overall, but its battery life was only average in return. We liked its speakers and its lightning fast 55 W quick charging feature.
The Xiaomi Mi 11 is not officially available in the US yet but can be imported directly from China, for example through TradingShenzhen.
Pricecompare
5th – Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Pro
The Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Pro offers everything a typical gaming smartphone should. In addition to a playful design, it comes with a fast SoC, 12 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of UFS storage. Its most important feature, however, is without a doubt its ginormous 7.1-inch AMOLED display running at 90 Hz flanked by a set of stereo speakers.
In addition to its large display, the Black Shark also offers fast 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Dual SIM, and last but not least a headphone jack. In return, it lacks support for wireless charging, NFC, and microSD expandability.
Pricecompare
6th – LG Velvet
The LG Velvet features a 6.8-inch POLED display that can be complemented by an equally large secondary display. The mid-range SoC makes for decent system performance and supports 5G. Gaming, on the other hand, requires a few compromises. In return, its triple-camera performed very well, it supports USB 3.2 and wireless charging, and is both IP68 and MIL-STD-certified.
Unfortunately, its wide-angle camera was a bit of a letdown, and the Velvet’s LTE support of LTE bands turned out to be fairly limited. Battery life on the other hand was decent.
Pricecompare
7th – Huawei Mate Xs
The Huawei Mate Xs features an 8.0-inch OLED display curved around the exterior of the foldable smartphone. It is powered by a fast SoC with 5G support, which as access to 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of fast UFS storage that can be further expanded via NM card. Its USB 3.2 port supports wired display output and can not only mirror the smartphone display but extend it to offer a full desktop mode.
All in all we liked the concept, particularly from a visual perspective, even though it lacked some quality assurance in the end. The quad-camera was decent, unfortunately it does not support Google services and lacks a DRM certification.
Pricecompare
8th – LG Wing
The LG Wing is the first in a completely new line of smartphone formats. Underneath its 6.8-inch main display sits a secondary 3.9-inch display that slides out and rotates to form a T-shaped dual-display smartphone. Both displays are based on OLED technology and thus offer a high contrast ratio. The smaller of the two displays was slightly dimmer than the larger one though.
From a hardware perspective the smartphone could be considered upper mid-range as it includes features such as wireless charging, IP54 certification, and 5G. During our review we failed to notice any major downsides apart from the high battery drain caused by the secondary display and the Wing’s high price.
Pricecompare
9th – Nokia 8.3 5G
The Nokia 8.3 5G is a premium mid-range smartphone with a 6.81-inch IPS display powered by a Snapdragon 765G with 8 GB of RAM and support for 5G networks. Its quad camera’s most important feature is the 64 MP sensor that managed to take decent photo as well as its ultra-wide angle lens that turned out pretty decent as well. The other two lenses are used for macro photography and depth-of-fiend analysis.
Benefits include long battery life, good design, and Android One. Downsides include a hefty price tag considering the lack of other features expected of a premium smartphone.
Pricecompare
10th – Motorola Moto G9 Plus
The Motorola Moto G9 Plus is living proof that smartphones with large displays don’t necessarily have to be expensive. Its 6.81-inch LTPS panel suffered from minor screen halations, and the device is powered by a fast mid-range SoC with access to 4 GB of RAM.
Thanks to its large battery, the Moto G9 Plus can last for a very long time. Unfortunately, its camera did not perform particularly well and the display turned out to be fairly dim overall.
