Samsung Galaxy S7 boasts the best smartphone display, says DisplayMate

-


Samsung has a reputation for being at the forefront of smartphone display technology, with both last year’s Galaxy S6 and Note 5 boasting the best displays in the business for their time. Samsung appears to have struck gold once again with its Galaxy S7, as testing from DisplayMate reveals that the new handset has the best display around.



DisplayMate was granted access to an early production unit to put through its usual selection of display tests. Impressively, Samsung has managed to significantly improve the S7’s display when compared with the Galaxy S6. The overall display contrast and Contrast Rating for High Ambient Light results have shown notable improvements, and the maximum brightness is up a whopping 24 percent on the previous gen model, reaching 855 cd/m2.


The testing suggests that the Galaxy S7 manages to keep up with and in some cases also exceeds the Galaxy Note 5, showing that Samsung has managed to considerably shrink down its leading display technology without detrimentally impacting on image quality or peak brightness. The Galaxy S7 matches or exceeded the Note 5 when it comes to Highest Absolute Color Accuracy, Highest Peak Brightness, Highest Contrast Rating in Ambient Light, Highest Screen Resolution, Highest Contrast Ratio, and Smallest Brightness Variation with View Angle.

The results showed very good contrast accuracy, although it was noted that this is slightly too high, as it typical of Samsung’s AMOLED panels. The panel also provides excellent accuracy with vivid colors, and only very small color and brightness shifts when rotating the viewing angle.

The rundown also reveals a few interesting points about Samsung’s latest display. The handset comes with a Personalized Automatic Brightness Control that remembers the display brightness settings that you set for different ambient light levels. There are three different display color pre-sets with notably different gamut profiles: Adaptive Display, AMOLED Photo, and Basic modes. Finally, the Galaxy S7’s display can also be viewed even while wearing polarized sunglasses, as Samsung has implemented a 45 degree angle on its polarizer.

We wouldn’t really have expected anything less from Samsung, but it’s still impressive that the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge continue to show notable display improvements over last year’s smartphones.

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.
