Every version of the Galaxy S23 has an incredible display. But there's one missing feature that I've found difficult to overlook.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 series has the best displays of any Samsung smartphone ever. These advanced displays get a fancy name — Dynamic AMOLED 2X — and a 120Hz dynamic refresh rate along with a super high brightness of 1,200 nits — the brightest on any Android phone. Samsung also promises a peak brightness of 1,750 nits, which comes to use while watching HDR content.
Dolby Vision also takes the lead in terms of the range of colors supported. It supports a 12-bit color depth of 68.7 billion colors, while HDR10+ is limited to a 10-bit color depth of 1.07 billion. And then, there are other technical aspects, such as color gamut and how the colors are calibrated for different refresh rates.
The HDR10+ standard, in comparison, is limited to Amazon Prime Video and YouTube, while Roku and Apple TV+ joined the list only last year. Furthermore, only Samsung and Google have consciously limited themselves to HDR10+. Whether Samsung is really looking to promote its own HDR standard or avoid additional costs, there are some drastic real-life consequences in video viewing, especially on the Galaxy S23 series. I share some examples in the section below.
Samsung phones scale down to the inferior standard, HDR10, because they lack support for Dolby Vision, and Netflix lacks support for HDR10+. I prefer the natural color tones on Samsung phones because OnePlus’s colors appear artificially exaggerated.Scenario 2: dark scene, bright room Visibility tends to take a significant hit when there’s a dark scene. Visuals from the Galaxy S23 and the Ultra appear much gloomier as dim parts tend to merge into black on these devices.
Once again, the OnePlus 11 is notably brighter , but that does not deter me from finding the Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy 23 Ultra acceptable. In fact, I prefer not to be blinded by the OnePlus 11’s luminance. For instance, the Poco X5 Pro is priced at less than $450 and has both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support.
