    Shows that you have zero knowledge.

    Don't bother replying to me, you are a proven joke. You just search for issues on any particular device that some users are facing and run with it on every article just like you saying how Realme phones are exploding based on 2 cases when in reality 1000 other iPhones have exploded.

All three phones S20 included had green tint issue initially. ROG Phone 2 (and 3) has rend tint issue even until now. My 60Hz AMOLED panel (not iPhone) does not even show any tint of any color at low brightness.

          iOS Succckkks, 29 Jul 2020Android authority article simply pointed out that not every... moreSo what about the OP8P review in XDA then? Are you going to say it is false news? XDA is also a highly credible Android website.

          Don't DisplayMate work like DxoMark? Easy for phones to get high score because they don't have a set parameter and some OEMs pay to score higher.

          When Dxo calls the Mi 10 camera good (selfie and main), Android Authority, Notebookcheck, etc. contradicts what Dxo says. The image quality of the selfie camera is worse than it actually supposed to be. Dxo has been thought to be boosting scores by payment.

          But let's say DisplayMate is an accurate source. Here's the iPhone 11 Pro Max link of DisplayMate's testing.

          http://www.displaymate.com/iPhone_11Pro_ShootOut_1P.htm

          They complemented a lot about the iPhone display, while mentioning it "Highest Absolute Color Accuracy" etc.

          Just being 60Hz but that could earn a A+ despite the S20 Ultra still top rank thanks to the HRR.

            MrTong, 29 Jul 2020Lol I gave you legit links and you don't even trust th... moreAndroid authority article simply pointed out that not every 120hz display is the same and not necessarily better than 60hz.
            What they mean is for example the 120hz Lcd on Redmi k30 is inferior to the 60hz AMOLED on Redmi k30 pro.
            Nowhere did they say OP8 pro or Find X2 pro display is bad.

            That xda guy is only one guy analyzing displays While,
            DisplayMate produces a complete set of state-of-the-art proprietary test and calibration patterns together with expert information, advice and guidance to setup, calibrate, tweak, optimize, test, evaluate and improve the image and picture quality and color and gray scale accuracy of all Monitors, Projectors and TVs.

              What's the criteria of DisplayMate's scoring? High refresh rate? High brightness and contrast? Easy scoring and they are probably paid reviewers.

              You are clueless and trolling using many useless statements to defend your opinion. I bet you did not even read the articles.

                MrTong, 29 Jul 2020Lol check all GsmArena and Notebookcheck reviews on the dis... moreIs that the reason why Find X2 pro display shattered all records this year for display?
                Find X2 pro is the best display on the market currently and it's manufactured by Samsung.
                You don't get A+ rating from display Mate by being poor quality.

                I'll trust display Mate and my own eyes having used flagships in the past from Note 9 to iPhone 11 pro Max over some random Internet guy.
                People using 50$ phones like you are absolutely clueless on what a premium display is.

                  To compliment this:
                  https://www.androidauthority.com/120hz-displays-1112345/

                  https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro-display-analysis-premium-hardware-at-a-cost/?fbclid=IwAR2TlAeMoH8Qu9R3WUon0OMmA5VA7-dDRYVzl3pBTgKeg2yDQR-qrceXQxM

                  It's just telling you that there are very few good 120Hz panels with reasonable color calibration.

                  The display on the S20 is of high quality. The one on the Find X2 Pro and OnePlus 8 Pro is not. Read both articles very carefully without skipping a detail.

                    Anonymous, 28 Jul 2020"iphones don't stutter like this" wow! you ... moreWould a 1st generation ipod count me as being a fanboy? If not, then you lost that bet. Your argument is about gaming. Of course there will be a difference in that regard. This video, however, implies an iphone cannot complete day to day tasks without stuttering. That is misleading. The smoothness of an iphone has been one of its main selling points vs. Android. You know, iOS optimization and all of that nonsense. Has that all been a lie?

                    Like I wrote, my Bold N1 doesn't consistently stutter like this and my daily 855 Samsung rarely stutters. My older phones like my Galaxy Alpha stutters, but that is 4-5 Android versions behind. This video is an exaggeration.

                      maybe you're the one stuck in the CRT era and didn't even hear about "competitive" / "esports" era with HRR monitors.

                        Razer is 120hz Lcd with higher Response time.
                        Also Razer software on smartphones is questionable.
                        Use a ROG 2, ROG 3, find X2 pro or OP8 pro as daily driver and then tell me you don't see any difference.

                        Besides p40 pro is weak 90hz.
                        There isn't much difference between 90hz and 60hz but you'll notice it between 60hz and 120hz.

                          If the 60hz panel is slightly more accurate then no one cares.
                          I bet there's not huge of a difference.

                            [deleted post]I already used an 120hz razer phone 2, i don't think it is worth it. Now i am using an P40 Pro Plus with 60hz. It gave me an extra 2 hour to 8.5 h of screen time. Can you please explain why High Refresh Rates are worth the extra battery life? I don't understand. I only noticed more smoothness and i don't think it is worth it. Please tell me why it is worth it. Not a single Youtuber tell us if HRR is worth the extra battery life.

                              You'll only notice it when you get your hands on 270hz touch sampling rate.
                              Keep using pedestrian 60hz.

                                I am getting 7-7.5 hrs SOT while operating at QHD@120HZ on my OP8 pro.
                                I extend it to 8-9 hrs SOT by switching to 1080p@120Hz.
                                Surprisingly, I only get around 8-8.5 Hrs SOT while at QHD@60Hz.

                                  Check S20 and OnePlus 8 Pro's accuracy vs. S10 and OnePlus 7T Pro.

                                  Speaking of monitors, a cheap HRR display (ex. 120, 144Hz 1080p) only covers 70-80% sRGB color space with narrow P3 gamut coverage. There are 60Hz 1080p and 1440p (also 4K) displays that have nearly or full P3 color space with high accuracy, like the Macbook Pro and Dell XPS.

                                  In phones, HRR is pointless as for now until they decide to use LTPO and resolve color accuracy issue. Which is why Apple decided not to jump into the 120Hz bandwagon too quick for their iPhone 12.

                                    Did you ever played a game at 320 x 240 resolution in the early 90's? Probably not. Because if you did, then you would have appreciated a 1080p 60fps resolution.
                                    I mean yeah, you could say " The future is now old man", but this future is worth the extra money? No, most certainly not. If a 4k 144Hz monitor will cost the same as 1080p 60Hz one, then it will be ok. But to pay 3,4 times more for one, and then come in here and insult others about it..is kind of pathetic.
