Samsung, LG, BOE… Who exactly manufactures the screens of the iPhone 12? This is still a mystery to this day because there are no certainties about it. Be that as it may, the screen of the 12 Pro Max model has been listed as the best on the market in this 2020 according to DisplayMate. The reasons we argue for this honor have been summarized in 11 points. We analyze all of this below.
We remember first of all that the so-called Retina Display XDR of this iPhone 12 Pro Max uses OLED technology, has a 6.7-inch screen and a resolution of 2,778 x 1,284 at 458 pixels per inch. In terms of brightness it has 800 nits, which can reach 1,200 nits in HDR.
The best screen of this 2020
They say that to taste the colors and precisely on the screens of mobile phones you can see many. Cataloging at the end a component as well as the best categorically is complicated, especially when there are brands with really good screens. However, this does not make it less worthwhile that the iPhone 12 Pro Max has been made with this title. After the exhaustive tests carried out by DisplayMate they have highlighted the following for arguments as the supporters of this cataloging:
- “Higher absolute color accuracy (0.9 JNCD).
- Highest image contrast precision and intensity scale precision (2.19 gamma).
- The smallest change in color accuracy and intensity scale with APL image content (0.2 JNCD).
- The smallest change in image contrast and intensity scale with APL image content (0.00 Gamma).
- The smallest change in peak luminance with image content Average APL image level (1 percent).
- Highest full screen brightness for OLED smartphones (825 nits for 100% APL).
- Highest full screen contrast rating in ambient light (172 at 100% APL).
- Higher contrast ratio (infinity).
- Lower screen reflectance (4.8 percent).
- Smaller brightness variation with angle of view (27% at 30 degrees).
- Highest Visible Screen Resolution 2.8K (2778 × 1284) – 4K Does not appear visually sharper on a smartphone. “
60 Hz does not prevent a high rating
Despite the 120 Hz refresh rate being on the table until the last minute, none of Apple‘s new iPhones exceed 60 Hz, not even this ‘Pro Max’. However, from DisplayMate they have highlighted that the fluidity of the system counteracts what a priori is a lack of this OLED panel compared to what the high-end Android already brings.
