Of course it's crispy at 2K. Good for VR too. But FHD is enough for daily use.

It is really nice, colors, in full hd. and u can use smart resolution to manage resolution and save battery !

I went to the shop yesterday and helped them turn on vvivid display for Mate 10 after seeing how unattractive the default display is beside the Amoled Mate Pro.

Yesterday it was sunny day. I test display and it's not good. Bad reading on sunny day. Bright was on 100% but display was so dark. Mate 10Pro.

Auto brightness or manual ?

Auto bright. Manual I tried too but same effect. My old M9 was usable in sunny day without problem.

FHD for the win!

I actually like that the display is 1080P. I never use VR as it gives me motion sickness and I I'm unable to visually discern individual pixels so anything higher than 1080P is just wasting battery life and making the SoC/GPU work harder.
I've found it perfectly fine in direct sunlight. Compared to my LG G6, it's a far superior display. I'm not sure that it's as good as the U11 but it's miles ahead of the Moto Z.

Clarity is insane. I can't see pixels even if I enable my superman goggles. Great screen, tack-sharp.

Videos appear quite grainy, even if they are 720p or 1080p. In some cases I can see dancing grains. Sometimes the colours burst/blow up for pictures/photos taken from different device or websites.
I had similar issues with Galaxy Tab-S, which was even worse in video and picture quality. My older Note-3 on the other hand is giving crystal clear image.
Great job with dat display Samsung.

Video appears grainy? Could it be the source? I'll give you an example. If you watch the film Green Zone, the source of the blu ray transfer from film is heavy amount of grain. NOT the phone's fault. I know this is NOT a HDTV forum, or maybe we should start one for video/audiophiles. Just because it's grainy, doesn't mean it's the phones fault. I've seen films like Sucker Punch, where the film is low grain on the film source, before the transfer to blu ray. But it's my cents about it. Either way, it looks fantastic on this phone.

YEs they did a fantastic job on this display. The clarity and resolution is very good. I'm not using displaymate or THX app or programs to do this testing. Just watching youtube vids, high quality Blu ray films, twitch, Netflix and alike. The screen on the note 3 was good. On the note 5, its beautiful to watch

Minimum brightness

You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the Huawei P20 Pro's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.

4.5/10. Still quite bright relatively to the room, but that's due to its 15cm x8cm size. Nearly phablet sized.
Source: I work for a telecoms company and am using the P20 Pro right now as a marketing sample.
I really love the phones size and shape it's perfect. The battery life seems to be rather good as well. The large screen does help out a lot!
The Minimum brightness level is fine and does the job! I've been able to read very well at night in bed... In fact, I was watching a movie the other day on my device.
Most builtin minimum brightness are to bright in my experience as well this is
But using a third party app when needed fixes that ?

Yeah, I've heard about the third party apps but never tried it. I've always found it to be good enough.
I do use an app to lower my minimum brightness on my Macbook Air because well that's just too damn bright lol. My phone however is fine.
Minimum brightness is fine for me. Others have said it's a bit too bright, but when you use the eye comfort mode, you'll have no issues.

Outdoor visibility (max brightness)

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the HTC U12+'s display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
in a first review (german) the max brightness seems to be critical outside. (at 2:07)
I must say... it's maybe on video. The pre-production piece I saw has beautiful brightness on sun. But yea, It can be piece by piece. I think oficiall U12+ will be good even in sunny weather. Let's wait!
I think it has same display as the u11+ 6" slcd 6 which is really dim
Hmm, he actually said that i looks pretty much like the U11+ and that it is a little bit to dark. This was also a problem with the HTC 10.
Probably HTC set a max brightness to save battery, i dont know. Could this be the case ?
i hope it has better brightness compared to my previous u11+

No problem here htc10 plus the htc11+ are ok.
Nice display's
Grtz
Anandtech estimated the display to be 600+ nits which is very bright and nothing like the U11+'s dim display.
But maybe they are wrong...
"The display will support HDR10 content on YouTube, and although no number was mentioned, the display is likely to be 600+ nits at full brightness."
Source: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12784/the-new-htc-u12-smartphone-hands-on
"The display's also noticeably brighter than the U11+, which was a pain point for some."

I don't know the U11 but my new U12+ is really great. I was very impressed today morning when I stepped out from home and got direct sunlight on the phone and it was still easy to read.
I wonder WTH that German was talking about... maybe he left on battery savings and didn't notice it? Happened to me the first morning, it greatly reduces maximum brightness.

glad to hear this.
i think that all reviews mention that brightness is higher than u11+, not much, but it is.
In a german review it states that the display has ~ 500-550 cd/m² (for reference, the Galaxy s9 has 740 cd/m², the U11 plus has about 400 cd/m² and the U11 about 530 cd/m²).
https://youtu.be/pnNwfvIfzVU?t=4m47s
If you like the brightness of U11, U12+ is just slightly less bright in my comparison.
On my table side by side, U12+ indeed looks a slight bit dimmer.
On the street/direct sunlight it is doing a great job for my needs.

Tbalden pleaseeee, would you make a fix o port the bright feature from u12+ to u11+, that is the only thing we need to get a perfect phone...if is necesary, i could pay for it !
Hi,
GSMArena repors that max brightness is about 400 nits... which is pretty low. Has anyone here who has the U12+compare to another phone they have outside and give their honest verdict?
Yesterday I can play few min with the U12+ and I will not buy it, even when the price drop under 500€, because the display is useless. I was indoor and it was already dark compare to any phone I know.
I think from 2016 to 2018 the baddest screen has the ZTE Axon 7 but even this was better than the U12+.

It has super amoled display
This same display galaxy flagship has been using
No other company out there have super amoled display
Even one plus offers amoled display
The display is undoubtedly best in this price range
PPI is 401 which is same as other mid range and some other flapship phone like one plus
So until if the phone has quadhd display this is better then any other display out there
VIDEO
does its support 4k video recording?

A50 doesn't support 4k natively, but you can use any third party camera to record 4k video.
The best app i found was "Open camera ".
Exynos 9610 infact can do 4k @120fps, lets hope Samsung enables 4k rec in their native app in future for Galaxy A50.
Btw, you're in a wrong thread !
Anyone else noticed some unpleasant purple/green artifacts at places where dark meets bright? see attachments
I can totally see that from a normal phone usage distance. Not sure if it's a defect or a "feature".

I have not observed any of the color artifacts you describe on the white-black interface. The picture is absolutely perfect, the Samsung display really did. Try resetting your phone or making a claim.
Anyone else can comment on this thing? Maybe I'm just super sensitive to stuff like this.
Haven't noticed anything similar on my S6, maybe because of the insanely high ppi (577ppi on S6 vs 403ppi on A50)

Try to turn off Adaptive Display because it shifts color temperatures depending on the amount/type of light received by the sensors.

sadly the xperia 5ii doesnt even come close to my p30 pro in brightness outside,
Very disapointent but ok it has other strengths
No issues at all with mine. It may not be ultra bright but I can still see the screen more than ok.
I can say 5 II is brighter than Xperia 5.
I was concerned because a few reviews mentioned a lack of brightness. I'm sure it's not as bright as some but where I live is very bright and it works. I have a bigger problem my my face reflecting on the screen if the sun is right.
Just got my Xperia 5 II few days ago. Put it side by side with Pixel 4 and noticed straight away that the Pixel screen is better - brighter, no blue tint when looking at it from the angle, better colours. Outdoor (bright sun) visibility is clearly worse than on dirt cheap Pixel 4 which is very disappointing. Considering that in Pro mode you have only a half of the screen as a viewfinder, taking pictures at bright sunny day conditions become a pain in the ass a bit.
I had disabled the auto-brightness and set the brightness to the highest level. Then I read that the highest level set that way was not as high as the highest level with adaptive brightness. So, I turned on adaptive brightness and it does seem to work, totally subjective, a bit better. I'm still not happy with the screen in sunlight.

I don't understand why you like it, cause the battery life it's mediocre...I don't get more than 6h sot on WiFi,on mobile data I can barely get the 4h sot mark, camera quality it's bad,so why do you like it?

A. I prefer photography to computational photography
B. I don't play games, don't do Facebook, and don't need 6 hr. screen on each day
C. I charge by phone each night before bed, up to 80%, and the next evening it's at 50% at worst.
D. I like the Photo Pro interface
E. I like the photographs I get
F. I was spending my money. You can spend yours on Samsung or Huawei if you want.

I would easily pick P40 Pro/Mate 40 pro if they would have GMS, but I can't live without Google, so my only alternative to a good camera was Sony, at least this was my hope...Samsung I don't like it, I honestly hate this brand because they're selling overpriced phones without a reason, and they make market differences(Exynos in some countries, snapdragon in another country).
About charging, yes, I also have Battery care set on auto and I charge my phone overnight, but yeah, I spent some time on social media so my hope was that battery should be better, but this was false, unfortunately
That's why Sony sales are so low because phones are not so good as they say, or maybe I was a little bit unlucky and got a faulty unit(unlucky that I only have 1 year of warranty)
I think sales are low because people prefer a point-and-shoot camera that takes great photos for them. That is Huawei and Samsung. My sister said she preferred photos from my Huawei p40 pro. I said I preferred taking photos with my Xperia 5 II.
I have my fun taking photos.
