Techno

Samsung Galaxy S5 was recently unveiled, and typical of Samsung, it comes with a great deal of new features integrated in their new flagship device. Ahead of its debut on April 11, the Galaxy S5 has already received a long list of accolades from DisplayMate – a worldwide Leader in video diagnostics and test patterns for optimizing, enhancing, calibrating, evaluating and testing displays.

Raymond Soneira, who is the company’s president, also a research scientist and display expert said in a detailed analysis that the S5 is the best performing smartphone display they have ever tested, saying ‘pixel count and screen size have played out as far as visually beneficial, it’s now time for the industry – manufacturers, customers and reviewers – to focus their attention on other even more important display performance metrics.“

As such, the display set a long list of new records for best smartphone display including highest brightness, lowest reflectance, highest color accuracy, infinite contrast ratio, highest contrast rating in ambient light and smallest brightness variation with viewing angle.

Soneira praised the S5’s Cinema Mode as offering the most accurate colors for any smartphone or tablet ever tested despite the fact that image contrast and color saturation were slightly too high due to a slightly too steep intensity scale.

“While many people have assumed that the Galaxy S5 has basically the same display as the Galaxy S4, but just a bit bigger, that isn’t the case, Our detailed Lab tests show that there have been significant display performance improvements in almost every single test and measurement category, resulting in a number of new records for Smartphone display performance”, continues the analysis.

The analysis concludes that The Samsung Galaxy S5 has the best Smartphone display, Most Accurate Colors, Beautiful Picture Quality, and an Impressive Power Efficiency among a long list of accolades
