The Enormous Smartphones of Mobile World Congress [PICS]

BARCELONA -- If we had to use one word to describe all the smartphones we saw at this year's Mobile World Congress, it'd be "big."

And we're not talking "a little bit bigger" than last year's phones. Oh no, this year companies such as ZTE and LG decided to skip one or two incremental size upgrades, showing phones -- or phablets, as they're often called -- which are, quite frankly, huge.

LG's Optimus G Pro has a 5.5-inch display. China's ZTE has gone a bit further than that, with its humongous 5.7-inch Grand Memo. And if that's not enough for you, Asus' 7-inch tablet can make phone calls.

My hand is slightly larger than average, and I was able to grab most of these devices, but I'm not sure how comfortable some of them would be in everyday use.
