After a few years of incremental upgrades, Samsung\u2019s new Galaxy S20 models arguably represent the company\u2019s most compelling offering in years. Introduced last week at the company\u2019s annual Unpacked event, Samsung\u2019s 2020 smartphone lineup consists of three devices: an entry-level 6.2-inch Galaxy S20, a 6.7-inch Galaxy S20+, and last but not least, a gargantuan 6.9-inch Galaxy S20 Ultra. As a point of reference, Apple\u2019s iPhone 11 Pro boasts a 6.5-inch display, which is to say that the S20 Ultra is almost veering into tablet territory.<\/p>\n
Per usual, Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S20 Ultra houses the company\u2019s latest and greatest technologies and, in turn, the device is priced accordingly. While you can get the S20 for under a grand, the entry-level Galaxy S20 Ultra will set you back a cool $1,399. That said, if you\u2019ve got the money to spare, and if you don\u2019t mind a somewhat imposing form factor, the S20 Ultra certainly provides users with a lot of bang for the buck.<\/p>\n
Given that Samsung introduced its S20 lineup just about a week ago, we\u2019re just now starting to see some early reviews and impressions of the device. And per usual, DisplayMate<\/em> wasted no time in putting the S20 Ultra\u2019s display through the wringer to see what it brings to the table and how it stacks up to other smartphone models.<\/p>\n Now to be fair, any premium smartphone you buy today is going to boast impressive display technology. In fact, you could make a case that most consumers can\u2019t even tell a difference between displays on rival devices. Still, if you\u2019re into the nitty-gritty of display technology, DisplayMate\u2019s<\/em> review is well worth checking out in its entirety.<\/p>\n In a nutshell, DisplayMate notes that the S20 Ultra\u00a0 \u2014 which boasts a 3200 x 1440 display \u2014 has \u201cclose to text book perfect calibration accuracy and performance that is visually indistinguishable from perfect.\u201d Consequently, DisplayMate gave the S20 Ultra a grade of A+ while noting that it set or matched \u201c12 smartphone display performance records\u201d in the process.<\/p>\n The specific areas where the S20 Ultra display shines include color accuracy, full screen brightness, peak display brightness, contrast ratio, and visible screen resolution.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat is particularly significant and impressive is that Samsung has been systematically improving OLED display performance with every Galaxy generation since 2010, when we started tracking OLED displays,\u201d DisplayMate<\/em> notes.<\/p>\n \n\tImage Source: Mr.Mikla\/Shutterstock<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n\t\tA life long Mac user and Apple enthusiast, Yoni Heisler has been writing about Apple and the tech industry at large for over 6 years.
