Point is - you lose picture details and quality when the screen is saturated more than normal/lifelike.
Besides, when a website/picture/app/movie/etc. is displayed on an over-saturated screen, there's a 50% chance it will look bad. And then you get a lot of people saying that certain things "look bad" when in reality it's the screen that they're looking at, at fault.
Say a designer creates a website or app with nice pastel colours, that are easy on the eye, that should create a nice reading experience. It all looks nice on a normal screen, but put it on an over-saturated screen and the users will say that it's too much strain on their eyes and that the design is bad.
Then comes the times when one takes a picture, thinks it's great, then when they view it on another device, the picture will look really bland.

LG superfan, 15 Jan 2018Iphone X touch bar at bottom can do 120hzIIRC, that's just the digitizer registering 120 touches per second, which is something different than the actual OLED panel being able to produce 120 frames per second.

That is completely different thing, we are now talking about unnatural bright colours. Not punchy colours or color saturated movies. Those still look normal even If you oversature them.
I don't know If you know but when you print cd covers, posters etc. Professionally you use cmyk colour palette and it only shows balanced colours. You can't print bright colours in cmyk, it's not possible. You might have very oversatured poster on your screen, but when you print it it won't look like how you made it. The world around us is balanced, everything fits together except those oversatured screens, that's why those look unnatural.

After using an OLED phone with saturated colors for a few hours my eyes burn. This never happens to me when I use an LCD phone.
Also, EVERYWHERE I look, EVERYONE is talking about oled burnins. I usually use a phone for 2-3-4 years before upgrading, so this is a topic that really interests me.
Oled may look better but i prefer LCD.
The over saturation seems to be just a cheap trick to make you like oled more. There's no advantage. Only your eyes burning after a few hours of use.

I totally go with Paul. Even before google introduced natural colours in its Pixel 2, one of the very first things I did on my nexuses were to go to the developer settings and turn on RGB. Saturated colours looked vaey gaudy and coarse!! It simply couldnt bring out the various hues in colours. I simply couldnt stand boosted or saturated colours. One of the very few things i like in an iphone is its commitment to natural colours with a great display. Hope google can catch up with apple and surpass it as it did with its camera module in its forthcoming Pixel 3.

On the Oneplus 5T there's 5 options to change the colour reproduction of the display.
Default, SRGB, DCI-P3, Adaptive Mode and Custom Mode.
I found adaptive mode to be the most accurate but most people find it dull, actually, it's as accurate as my friend's iphone X. Good job Oneplus.
I found the default settings too punchy so i've gone with DCI-P3, it makes whites a tad orange but it's not as punchy.
Oneplus has many settings

What I really need from phone screen is proper contrast because ALL phones bump dark too much.
Just open any dark video or image on TV, PC monitor and phone and you will see that on phone everything is too dark.
iPhone, Galaxy, Sony, no mater what phone it is, when I try to watch movie on it, all dark scenes are just dark as night.
And colors? Why would you need perfectly accurate colors on phone? you gonna edit professional photos on it? You gonna paint on it? Why dont just bump colors a bit to look better? Not much but slightly bumped colors are ok for everything. People actually prefer them even if they say they dont. We like colorful posters, we like nice skin color, we like punchy colors on landscapes images, we like nice saturation of colors on movies.
As far as it dont mess with this damn contrast Im fine.

I'm an Android fanatic, but I gotta admit that I have a big problem with white colour on AMOLED screens. Apple LCDs display perfect white, but so does some other lcds. When it comes to oled, I immediately switch to Basic mode on Samsung phones, but the whites even though look better, are now slightly yellowish. I can't stand the fake fluorescent like colors of Adaptive mode.
The irony is that the oled of the iphone X is made by Samsung, but displays perfect whites. When will a Samsung oled on a Samsung phone finally have perfect whites?

i'm more to accurate screen.
iPhone X is a perfect balance between punchiness and accuracy in my opinion.
my S8 is either too saturated(Adaptive, Cinema, Photo) or too dull(Basic).
Adaptive makes my eyes tire faster though, so my daily one is Cinema.
i know Cinema is supposed to have the same calibration, but it's still too saturated on S8, especially the Red, it looks so artificial.

Iphone X's display is vivid while being accurate with colors. That's just so hard to ignore and even if the Samsungs have better displays to look at, I still prefer Iphone's display.
