Have the iphone 6+ which is fine, at home in the office I use my Mac and the iphone allows me to make calls, text etc from the computer so I don't have to leave my desk, I like to sit at my desk ,my wife hates me sitting at my desk, it means I am not making something or fitting something or replacing something she has got bored with. When she's not looking I sit with my ipad.

Wow an iPhone that can make phone calls. that's gotta be a first.

Don't ask....I haven't decided yet.

Yes, I know, I am THE world's worst procrastinator.

I am still thinking Mi Max 3, but I don't want the Chinese version as the ROM is limited and it does not support all the UK LTE bands.

Reading up on the Android fora, there is a version of Mi Max 3 with a "Euro" ROM, but I don't think this is a factory model.

I have found a very cheap phone with a smaller screen (now the aspect ratios have changed -my current Huawei Mediapad X2 is 16:10- these larger-screened phones are much narrower) and the spec is half-decent, but the res is a bit old-school. And some don't like the "notch".

There is a very nice 7.2" Huawei Mate 20 X but it's £500 or twice that for the 5G version!

Have been considering a decent condition second-hand Samsung A70 as another option. A bit more than the Cubot and the Mi Max 3 (at around £220), but an improvement on res.

empip, having read back, I see you like breast-pocket phones...

At a recent wedding, I went jacketless and my cased MediaPad X2 fitted in my shirt pocket!

188 x 107mm!

As regular readers will know, I am a fan of large screen phones, mainly because my eyesight isn't 100%.

I began with a Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3", and currently own a Huawei MediaPad X2 7".

Does anyone own a large screen smartphone (6"+) and if so, what is it?

Samsung Note 10 Plus 6.8" screen.

Thanks!
Great phone, but sadly, it's out of my price bracket...
Bet you love it!

If you want bang for Buck either buy a recondishioned phone or a Xiaomi or Huawei new.

I'm short sighted, I have to look over the top of my glasses.

It's no fun getting old.
