jos, 27 Apr 2017...hahahahahahaha... Samsung still is and forever a COPIER.... moreStill the most excellent display with manual calibration. How many phone can be color-calibrated manually? OLED will always be the best display. Easily the only display to achieve infinite contrast. Unrival by others. Name me one display better than OLED. You got nothing. Show me a red tinted S8 that cannot be fixed without recalibrating the RGB toggles. You are either ignorant or too lazy to fix it yourself.

Only cheap LCD displays have whites that are cold or bluish like Sony phones.

Samsung S7/S8 SuperAMOLED displays are the most color accurate display in existence. They are literally perfect. You should read their technical reviews.

Samsung can easily make the whites on their SuperAMOLED displays look blueish or colder but that would them not accurate at all. Even Apple has calibrated the iPhone 7 display to yellowish white because that's the most accurate white according to display experts. Blueish whites like on Sony LCD phones are cheap and far from accurate. Experts look down on them.

                              They've had literally tons of time to work on the glaring issues of Amoled since the Galaxy S1 and all they have to say is an excuse... Lame Samsung.
