We’re still focused on the new Galaxy Note 7 because it’s a premium flagship phone. It’s mighty expensive so we want to make sure that everything about it is worth our hard-earned money. We’re not telling you to go and buy one now. The decision will still be yours to make but we’re here to show you what we know and how we feel about the next-gen Note. This year’s Note 7 has been controversial because from Note 5, Samsung skipped a number to give it its name. There’s also the fact that this is the first-ever non-flat Note the South Korean tech giant has launched.
So many things to still say about the “uniqueness” of the Galaxy Note 7 but allow us look deeper into its display screen and compare it with previous Note models. We did something similar with the Galaxy Note 5 last year and now let’s see how the Note 7 fare against the competition–its predecessor and other premium phablets available in the market today.
Display Mate has shared a comprehensive analysis of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7’s OLED display. No doubt that having a stunning display is important because it is on the screen where one can read, see, and view just about anything. Without the screen, the phone is deemed useless because how else can a mobile user navigate the device?
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 boasts of a flexible OLED display. It’s flexible that’s why the dual-edge curved screen was possible. It’s not foldable/flexible the way we’ve been anticipating but it features the latest OLED technology from the South Korean tech giant. It can be a challenge to judge display technology because there may not be obvious difference to naked eyes at the moment.
We know that the display on the Note 7 is better than the S7 and S7 edge’s. It may be lower than the next Galaxy S8 or just the same. If you’re not yet convinced that this is a great new phone, read on about the smartphone’s display performance features and see what makes the curved screen OLED display a winner according to the guys at Display Mate:
• Features: four display screen modes, DCI-P3 Gamut, high-end 4K video capture, DCI-P3 (larger than in 2K Full HD TVs), new HDR (High Dynamic Range) video mode, Video Enhancer, more than 1000 nits of brightness, front and back Dual Ambient Light Sensors, and Blue Light Filter mode
• Screen resolution is impressive at 2560 x 1440 with 518 ppi plus Diamond Pixels with Sub-Pixel Rendering. That’s a Quad HD display protected by a curved Gorilla Glass 5 screen.
• Phone comes with a Personalized Auto Brightness Control and the Always On Display mode that proves to be very useful. You can set it to show a custom clock, status message, notifications, or calendar. It uses very low power and you don’t have to always launch the screen just to see some quick information. The improved brightness control can be customized. The phone can also automatically adjust the screen depending on older settings used on the Note 7.
DisplayMate has listed the Note 7’s many records. It boasts of having the following: Widest Color Gamuts for Current Content, Highest Peak Brightness (1,048 nits), Highest Contrast Rating in Ambient Light (228), Highest Screen Resolution (2560×1440), Highest (infinite) Contrast Ratio, Lowest Screen Reflectance (4.6 percent), and the Smallest Brightness Variation with Viewing Angle (21 percent).
That’s so many numbers and description. No need to discuss further because Display Mate already said that the Galaxy Note 7’s display is THE BEST. No doubt it is an improvement from the old Note 5. Display Mate dubbed it as the ‘Best Smartphone Display’ and said:
The Galaxy Note7 provides many major and important state-of-the-art display enhancements, with mobile OLED display technology now advancing faster than ever. The Galaxy Note7 is the most innovative and high performance Smartphone display that we have ever tested. It leapfrogs the displays on the Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S7 to become the Best Performing Smartphone Display ever.
