Samsung Galaxy S24 series’ displays tested by DXOMark

  • As aforementioned, Galaxy S24 Ultra (review) is the best display smartphone in DXOMark ranking with a 155 score. It has been given the Gold stamp of approval. The Gold label means the display offers “best-in-class experience”. It gets 161 in readability score, 156 in motion, 148 in colour, 162 in touch, 152 in video, and 148 in artifacts. 

    So, the DXOMark test finds the S24 Ultra display to be great for readability even outdoors and presents vivid coloured photos in good light and natural-looking portraits. However, it notes the display can be uncomfortably bright in low-light conditions.

  • Its Galaxy S24 brethren are close by with an overall 154 rating. They also get Gold grades. The panels get plus points for excellent screen readability and accurate colour rendering, and minus marks for the screen being too bright in lowly-lit settings.
