The most important aspect of a display is how easily the user can read content in various ambient lighting conditions. In this section, we’ll take a closer look at these display quality sub-scores and explain what they mean for the user, and we will compare the Note20 Ultra’s performance in several areas against some of its principal competitors, the OnePlus 8 Pro, the Asus ROG Phone 3, and the Black Shark 3 Pro.ĭXOMARK uses the device’s gallery app to show static (still image) content when measuring the device’s display for brightness, contrast, gamma, and blue light impact, etc.

The DXOMARK Display overall score of 89 for the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G is derived from its scores across six categories: readability, color, video, motion, touch, and artifacts. The device was not accurate when zooming in on photos, nor was it smooth in the gaming scenario. Our engineers remarked that after moving the slider to rewind or forward video content, there was a notable gap before restart. The blue light filter is not effective at removing blue light, an issue for those wanting to avoid sleep disruption. In terms of drawbacks, the colors tended to be too saturated. The smartphone was very smooth in the gallery app and when web browsing, and motion blur is well managed. The Note20 Ultra had a strong performance for the key category of readability, as well as for watching videos, with brightness levels that made viewing a pleasure.
