The Color settings on the Lumia lets you tweak the color output to a subjectively punchier look as well. Keep in mind that anything under 3 is considered properly calibrated output so these two are stellar. It's almost equally good as it has an average deviation (deltaE) of only 1.6 and a maximum deviation of 2.9. The Microsoft Lumia 950 XL isn't doing too shabby in this respect either. The Photo mode produces a punchier image (we like it for its higher contrast), but increases the average deltaE to 4.8. ![]() Note that this is with the Basic screen mode. Even the maximum deviation is very low at just 2.2. With an average deviation in color reproduction (deltaE) of 1.1 in Basic color mode, the Galaxy Note5 has perhaps the most accurate color output we've seen yet. The Samsung's Super AMOLED display is the current leader in color accuracy. Sunlight contrast ratioĪMOLED has come out as the leader of accurate colors, quite the turnaround from its usual reputation. ![]() Typically OLEDs have an advantage on this test, but we've seen LCDs on iPhones go higher (3.838 for the iPhone 6). The Apple iPhone 6s Plus managed an excellent score too though it had to lean on its higher brightness here. With both phones set to Auto brightness, you'll never have to squint at your display. The Lumia 950 XL features the ClearBlack tech from the Nokia days - a polarization filter that is supposed to reduce reflections and glare.Įven with its lower max brightness output on manual (and we test on manual since Auto can be unpredictable), the Lumia scored almost as high as the Galaxy Note5. Sunlight legibility is a balance between the screen's brightness and the reflectivity of its glass. This easily explains the cap in manual mode, but there's also the consideration of battery life - you don't need 600-700nits most of the time. The Auto mode is designed to prolong the life of the OLED and will never run it at full blast for too long. In Auto mode however, it tops the Note5 though, going over 700nits. The Microsoft Lumia 950 XL is much more conservative on manual and goes up to 335nits. The Samsung Galaxy Note5 lets you do as high as 440nits on manual, but if you leave it on Auto it can go up to 620nits in particularly bright environment. The screens on both the Note5 and 950 XL are very bright compared to other phones, but the maximum power is not directly available to users. Still, if you want perfectly dark black pixels and amazing contrast you need an AMOLED display. The black levels aren't perfect, but they are certainly commendable for an LCD. The display is very bright, reaching nearly 600nits and the contrast is high at 1380:1. The straightforward RGB matrix handles lower densities better, though, and the practical difference isn't huge. The iPhone 6s Plus has a smaller, 5.5-inch display, and due to its lower resolution - 1080p - it is behind on sharpness - 401ppi vs. The Lumia 950 XL has a 5.7"AMOLED display with QHD resolution matching the Galaxy Note5. The Lumia flagship line stagnated for a long while, but Microsoft has finally caught up, in both hardware features and size. The Cupertino company is conservative with size and resolution, though, trailing the competition a couple of years in that regard. And why not, it has some of the best in the business. AMOLED screens are enjoying quite a popularity in the high end, but Apple is still sticking to LCDs. ![]()
