Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra has the biggest screen here with 6.8-inch size and 1080p resolution. It has pretty high screen-to-body ratio too similar to Xiaomi Mi Max with 6.44-inch screen. The Sony Xperia XA Ultra is a little small at 6-inch, but no mistake it sits on Sony’s upper echelens and made from the premium formula of Xperia X series.
Screen size battle
The Zenfone 3 Ultra has the widest display with the highest screen-to-body ratio (STB) at 78% followed by Mi Max with 6.44 and 75%. The Xperia XA Ultra is minimum at 6-inch with second STB ratio at 77%. If you really want a wide, near-tablet experience then the Zenfone 3 is the top choice. Meanwhile, one-hand use is still achievable on the Xperia.
Most heavily spec and fastest
For specs alone, the Zenfone 3 wins it even against the Mi Max. It is because of the 4GB RAM and richer audio experience. But it comes with a price as it is the most expensive in the group of phablets.

Jade, you are a champ! Thank you so much for the info!
No problem, man.
Hi all, i am looking for a mid budget phablet, preferably around the 6-6.5 inch size? Are these the best options?
The mi max is the only budget here.
