The Galaxy S20 Ultra is the latest flagship device from Samsung. The Galaxy S20 Ultra features a 6.9-inch Quad HD+ (3200 X 1440) Dynamic AMOLED Display which is HDR10+ certified. Also, the bezels are pushed way back and there’s just a miniscule camera hole on the front side of the device. The 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling smooth with seamless screen transitions. Also, the display helps prevent eyestrain and sleep disturbances by reducing blue light at the pixel level without sacrificing color.

DisplayMate recently tested the display on the Galaxy S20 Ultra and awarded it with Best Smartphone Display Award. The Galaxy S20 Ultra earned DisplayMate’s highest ever Display Performance Grade of A+ and it sets or matches 12 Smartphone Display Performance Records for:
