Samsung officially launched the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus along with Galaxy Note10, Galaxy Note10 5G, and Galaxy Note10 Plus 5G. The term Phablet was coined to define a smartphone that is about the size of the usual tablet. Thankfully the term has gone out of popular use, but with the introduction of super-sized smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus and its other models, it seems that the term might get resurrected.

Here is the comparison and contrast between Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, OnePlus 7 Pro, and the iPhone XS Max.

Although the Google Pixel 3 XL is not of the same size with a dimension of 6.22 x 3.02 x 0.31 inches, it has a modest display size of 6.3-inches. Other alternative smartphones with bigger display sizes include Galaxy S10 Plus, Apple's iPhone XS Max, and OnePlus 7 Pro.
