Samsung Galaxy S8 has the best smartphone screen

Samsungs recently announced Galaxy S8 hasn’t reached consumers as yet, but a handset has made its way into the hands of display specialists DisplayMate, who’ve proclaimed the screen used on the phone the ‘Best Performing Smartphone Display’.

The display on the S8 has earned DisplayMate’s highest ever A+ grade in their report on the display. The updated 3K QuadHD+ (2960×1440) resolution curved display which has a blue light filter, the highest peak brightness (1,020 nits) and the lowest owest Screen Reflectance (4.5%) led to the awarding of the A+ rating.

DisplayMate said in their report:

The Galaxy S8 is the first in a new generation of OLED Smartphones that have a Full Screen Display design. It has many major and important state-of-the-art display performance enhancements, features and functions, with mobile OLED display technology now advancing faster than ever. The Galaxy S8 is the most innovative and high performance Smartphone display that we have ever lab tested.

Of course, these are lab test results, so we’re waiting on real world tests of the phone – which should come along very quickly. We hope to get hands on with the phone shortly with a review unit before the Australian launch to give you our first impressions.
