The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has the best display of all smartphones ever, the display experts at DXOMARK determined. The phone excelled in the firm’s rigorous display test suite, which measured its performance across six criteria, to achieve an all-time high score of 155. The Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, which also feature a Samsung-made display, previously led the chart with a score of 154.
Galaxy S24 Ultra excels in the DXOMARK display test
Samsung has equipped the Galaxy S24 Ultra with a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X featuring a 1440 x 3120 pixels resolution, 505 ppi pixel density, and a 120.Hz variable refresh rate in a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The device boasts a peak brightness of 2,600 nits and comes with Corning Gorilla Glass Armor protection that has enhanced anti-reflective properties. During our Galaxy S24 Ultra review, we found that it is a highly underrated feature of the phone.
However, it’s not all sunshine and roses for the new Samsung flagship’s display. The phone has a weird bug causing a color accuracy issue. While colors seem fine in the natural mode, switching to the vivid color profile doesn’t produce the expected level of saturation. It hardly sees any changes over the natural mode. The good thing is that Samsung is aware of the issue and plans to fix it with a software update.
This didn’t stop the Galaxy S24 Ultra from securing the top position in DXOMARK’s evaluation, though. The phone exhibited excellent readability in all lighting conditions and angles. It also has great luminance uniformity and accurate color rendering in most environments. The new Samsung flagship delivered excellent management of frame mismatches when watching videos or playing video games.
DXOMARK also noted the phone’s reduced screen reflections. The areas where the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s display performed below expectations include brightness levels in videos and dimming in low-light environments. The firm found the display to be excessively bright during video performance, while it didn’t get as dim as expected in indoor lighting. The phone was also poor at managing involuntary touches.
Samsung reserved the best for itself
Samsung is one of the most renowned display makers globally. It supplied OLED displays to many smartphone companies, including Apple and Google. As said earlier, the Pixel 8 series features Samsung displays, and so does the iPhone 15 series. However, as we see in DXOMARK’s display test, the Korean firm reserved the best for itself.
