Since the users have moved their priorities to the large sized phone, the manufacturers are constantly increasing the size of the smartphones recently. The large sized smartphones- which have the display not small enough to be called a phone, neither big enough to be called a tablet (that’s why they are called phablets) are produced by almost every smartphone manufacturer and come in almost every OS platform.

Out of these three, the price of the OnePlus One is actually bang for bucks, and has the greatest value for money. Nexus 6 has the latest specs for an android smartphone, and also is the largest among all. The iPhone 6 plus also is quite a good phone, but seriously, is all the money that we have to pay to get this worth it? Among these three, the OnePlus One is actually a best buy, but it is too hard to get it. Nexus 6 can be bought everywhere, but its price is almost double. The price of iPhone 6 Plus is more than triple. So, in our assessment, OnePlus One> Nexus 6> iPhone 6 Plus.
