DisplayMate pronounces Note 8, the ‘Most Innovative and High Performance Smartphone Display’
September 04, 2017
 
Dr. Ray Soneira is the guru of display testing and measurement and for the last few years, he has evaluated every new Galaxy Premium smartphone display and has given it a “best smartphone display ever” rating. He calls these reports a shootout, but in reality he compares the new display to the older display. He doesn’t compare OLEDs to LCDs and with Apple’s switch to OLEDs, he won’t have to. But perhaps with the iPhone 8 comes out, he will compare it to the Note 8.
 
His key comments on the Note 8 include:

  • A new 3K Higher Resolution 2960 x 1440 display (521 ppi) that fills almost the entire front face of the phone from edge-to-edge, resulting in a larger 6.3 inch display with a 15% taller height to width Aspect Ratio of 18.5 : 9 = 2.05 than the 16 : 9 = 1.78 on most Smartphones.
  • A new and accurate full 100% DCI-P3 Color Gamut that is also used for 4K TVs. Plus it is certified by the UHD Alliance for Mobile HDR Premium, which allows it to play all of the latest content produced for 4K UHD Premium TVs.
  • The Native Color Gamut of the Galaxy Note8 is even larger, the result of its new high saturation “Deep Red” OLED, resulting in a very impressive 112% of DCI-P3 and 141% of sRGB / Rec.709 Gamuts that also produces better on-screen Colors in High Ambient Light.
  • Up to 22% Higher Screen Brightness vs. the Galaxy S8, with a record Peak Display Brightness of over 1,200 nits.
  • A 6.3 inch (5.7” x 2.8”) curved screen OLED display. The  S8 has a 5.8 inch (5.2” x 2.5”) curved screen OLED display, and the  S8+ has a 6.2 inch (5.6” x 2.7”) curved screen display. The Galaxy Note8 display is 14% larger in screen area than previous Galaxy Note displays and 20% larger in screen area than the Galaxy S8.
  • Support for 4 Screen Modes and 3 Standard Color Gamuts with High Absolute Color Accuracy based on our extensive lab measurements.
  • A new Video Enhancer that provides HDR-like Expanded Dynamic Range for photos and videos that don’t have HDR coding.
  • A new user adjustable White Point with Color Balance slider controls that can change the Color of White for the Adaptive Display screen mode.
  • New front and back Dual Ambient Light Sensors for significantly improved Automatic Brightness settings.
  • Night Mode with a Blue Light Filter that allows the user to adjust and reduce the amount of blue light from the display for better night viewing and improved sleep.
  • Improved Viewing Angle performance.
  • Enhanced configurable Edge Display for the curved side screens.
  • Enhanced Always On Display mode operated with IC hardware rather than App software.
  • Enhanced Personalized Auto Brightness Control.
  • Enhanced Image Processor for Adaptive Dynamic Brightness and Contrast Range Expansion.
  • Stronger curved Gorilla Glass 5 protecting the display.
