Samsung’s Galaxy S24 display finally amazes, so how’s iPhone 15 priced the same?،
Samsung Galaxy S24 the screen has finally caught up… the Pixel series. Wait what? Yes, surprisingly, it's Google's Pixels that are at the forefront when it comes to display quality when it comes to brightness and color representation, rather than the Apple-Samsung duopoly phones where only the more premium models expensive ones cover all the requirements of a great phone screen. .
Forget the thin green lines! The Galaxy S24 finally has a great screen
LTPO for the general public!
Green line crash or not, a great screen is something pretty expected from a flagship phone like the Galaxy
S24 Ultra. Indeed, our display benchmark tests revealed high brightness and excellent wide color gamut credibility, not to mention the smooth refresh rate or class-leading reflectivity that makes it very easy to see outdoors. After all, the S24 Ultra comes with Samsung's latest generation of LTPO OLED panels.
What's new in 2024, however, is that ALL members of Samsung's S24
series now come with LTPO displays! Previously, the S23 and S23+ came with the older LTPS screen technology which not only did not allow for a granular 1Hz to 120Hz refresh rate like on their larger Ultra sibling, but was also weaker and power-hungry. energy, which reduced battery life. This is no longer the case and the calibration of the
Samsung S24 screen is also excellent!

After a few years of screen fragmentation, Samsung finally decided that the Galaxy S24 and S24+ specs should match their prices and released them with excellent LTPO panels. When we say excellent, we don't just mean the paper where Samsung lists 2,600 nits of peak brightness, or the same wide 1Hz to 120Hz dynamic refresh rate range that the Ultra offers.
Our own screen benchmark tests now put the Galaxy S24 and S24+ are at the top of the totem pole for their respective price range, even rivaling Google's Pixel range. They feature very high and very low brightness levels to provide excellent outdoor visibility and protect your eyes when reading at night at the same time.
The color gamut and temperature coverage are also perfect and close to ideal reference points. The new, more granular refresh rate and modern LTPO display technology have also enabled longer battery life than their predecessors.
Galaxy S24 and iPhone 15: gaps in specifications but not in price
Same price, but why?
An
iPhone 15 and a
Galaxy S24 both cost $799 for the base version, but it's getting harder and harder for Apple to find justification for that price. After all, sales of its much more expensive
Pro line are outpacing sales of its cheaper handsets, and it's not hard to deduce why.

With the Galaxy S24 and S24+, Samsung has closed the spec gap with the iPhone15 and iPhone 15 Plus even more blatant. Apple continues to fragment the iPhone series with all the modern specs reserved for the Pro line, but it's now giving way in areas that iPhones previously excelled at, like display quality or battery life, and this despite the higher refresh rate of the S24.
Consequently, not only iPhone15 came without the telephoto camera and 120Hz screen refresh rate of the S24, but its panel is now much darker and with less accurate color representation in comparison. Even if Apple finally introduced a high refresh rate on its budget iPhones, would it opt for an LTPO display and the same granular 1Hz to 120Hz refresh rate as the Galaxy S24 now the orders?
Galaxy S24 vs. iPhone 16
Floor wiping
Well, the latest rumors say that Apple will not only avoid dynamic refresh rate on the iPhone 16, but it won't upgrade the screen refresh at all and will keep its $799 phone at 60 Hz that its competitors have long forgotten at this price. indicate.
It could, however, upgrade the Pro models again and separate the iPhone16 even further within the specifications. If these rumors ultimately hold water, the Samsung Galaxy S24 will wipe the floor not only with the iPhone15but with the next iPhone16 what's more, all at the same price. So why is Apple still charging $799 for its base iPhones?
