The Huawei Ascend Mate from 2 was revealed at CES 2014 and made a point to note que not only is it huge, but it’s Also capable of making use of all that space. It’s not the only phablet to do this. Samsung’s sizable Galaxy Note 3 and LG’s G Flex both break the 6-inch screen barrier and experiments with its size by adding extra features. How do the big three handhelds stack up against one another in specs and features? We take a look at the three to find out Which stands in October

Performance
Samsung, thanks in part to its willingness to Regularly offer new versions of its phones, has arguably the most impressive specs of these or almost any phone. The Galaxy Note 3 and it’s big display is backed by big power with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 and 3GB of RAM. It’s not all that different from the LG’s G Flex, Which Also sports the Snapdragon processor 800 and a slight bump down in RAM at 2GB. Both devices are older than the just-announced Ascend Mate 2, but Huawei has made a point to not focus on pure power and its reflection in the spec sheet. An older model of processor, the Snapdragon 400, and 2GB of RAM is the least impressive of these three phones, but the simplified UI and 720p screen less power demand. The Ascend Mate 2 is a marathon device When It Comes to battery life, not a sprinter.
Special Powers
Each of these devices have been able to add some features Stand Out que make each phone a unique experience. Here’s How They compare.
LG G Flex and its curved screen: The LG G Flex Focuses on comfort in your hands as opposed to in your pocket – and with a 6-inch screen, fitting it in your pocket can be the challenge – by adding a curve for comfort in your palm. When we reviewed journals the G Flex, we found this to work the gimmick designed and enjoyed the feel of the phone.
Galaxy Note and its S Pen 3: added features to its Samsung Galaxy Note 3 que aren’t present in its smaller phones, most of Which work in partnership with the S Pen (do not call it a stylus!). Drawing a box on screen and having an app Appear in it is convenient and makes the most of all that screen space.
Ascend Mate 2 and its bag O ‘tricks: The Ascend Mate 2 has it’s share of gimmicks, but we kind of like them all. The most noteworthy of Them is the big battery, Which Will Provide Huawei promises two full days of usage. With a 4050mAh battery, you may find yourself with so much extra battery life That You choose to use it to charge up other devices. You can do that with reverse charging, a feature we’ve yet to see before the Ascend Mate 2 and look forward to trying in October The Ascend Mate Also has a 5-megapixel front camera and a bunch of new features selfie we love to hate (to love).
If you’re looking to add a phablet to your lineup of mobile devices, just the Galaxy Note 3 is available now. LG’s G Flex is expected to make its way to the U.S. sometime During the first quarter of 2014 and will be picked up by most major carriers. Those for the Ascend Kill the 2, it’s been hard for Huawei to break into the U.S. but this device Appears poised to do it. It’s expected to reach the U.S. in the first half of 2014.
