They also didnt add Moto X4 for example.

        I'd Sony projection 3LCD & I've Samsung LED internal satellite receiver & my experience:
        Sony projection 3 LCD vs Samsung
        1. watching movies with Sony! My eyes were relax even though low light was the only lack
        2. Watching movies with Samsung! My eyes weren't relax even though period of watching wasn't more than 1.5 hour

              AnonD-446922, 10 Dec 2017Why are you ppl so biased against LG V30Don't worry, just enjoy your V30 like I am and let them enjoy their mediocre sound quality. Perfect for people who want the best sound experience from their headphones.

              The V30 is a flagship monster. Revel in its glory.

                      Cassy O, 10 Dec 2017Yes, i have experience by using Z5 Premium but i never owne... moreXzp is one of the best among the flagship I own in terms of everything. I don't know about z5p since I didn't own it.(may be its one of the worse as you have experienced)I'm the kind of person who defend a good product irrespective of what brand they are from.if you own it and find it bad then you have the right to complain as you have spend your hard earn money in it. But if you don't then get a life.xzp deserve this place

                          Same screen as the Note 8. Champion.

                            Which phone has worst color accuracy and below par contrast?

                              Be Nice To Others, 10 Dec 2017Oh sure you did try a Z5 Premium. Can that joke get any fun... moreAnd if the iPhone's screen is really that good, then why did the XZ Premium managed to take one of the spots in the top 10 instead of the 8 Plus? Only the X has "good" screen out of any iPhones, yet we know how terrible its color shifting it.

                                Daany, 10 Dec 2017Well well well... What heppened to display mate result? ... moreSamsung and Apple paid DisplayMate not to rank their devices the highest, but to never test any other smartphones. Then DisplayMate crowns a Samsung and Apple phone as the best display of the year. Of course DisplayMate has no other choice of the best screen but the Samsung and/or Apple because of the lack of enough testing.

                                Even DxOMark only gives scores but doesn't necessarily crown one, because they know themselves that they haven't tested all smartphones in the world to immediately give a title to something.

                                  Cassy O, 10 Dec 2017Yes, i have experience by using Z5 Premium but i never owne... moreOh sure you did try a Z5 Premium. Can that joke get any funnier? I tried the Z5 Premium myself, too, and like you, I never owned it. But it definitely has an amazing display that's ahead of its time. Brightness, colors, contrast, sharpness, clarity, all of them are impressive on the Z5 Premium even without HDR. XZ Premium just takes that insane screen quality to a whole new level.

                                  I'll not bother about comparing the iPhone 7 Plus's screen to the Z5 Premium, it's mediocre to be competitive enough, let alone the XZ Premium, which also destroys the iPhone 8 Plus. iPhone X only got close to the XZ Premium because of OLED, but they're incomparable, the XZ Premium is just that good, only its successor could beat it.

                                    Mi Max 2 looks like the winner but when you look at the terrible endurance rating it suddenly turn you off. Then, there is the J7 Pro surprisingly have better color accuracy than its flagship counterpart, Note8 and even the iphone X. I would had go with Mate 10 Pro but J7 Pro seems to have better endurance rating and better sunlight legibility too. But for an overall screen specs winner, Razer is very well balance. Unfortunately, Razer low endurance rating not going to let you enjoy all that screen for too long and not to mentioned how pricey it is.
