Huawei P50 Pro Display review: New score leader

What They Say

DXOMark already liked the cameras in the Huawei P50 Pro smartphone and now it has tested the display which is a 6.6″ 2700 x 1228 pixels and refresh up to 120Hz (touch up to 300Hz). The display took top place both globally and in the ‘Ultra-premium’ segment.

Pros

  • Brightness is appropriate for watching HDR10 videos.
  • Readability is pleasant in low light and in indoor conditions.
  • Touch is smooth and accurate.
  • The device is almost flicker-free.

Cons

  • Default brightness is too low for pleasant readability in outdoor conditions.
  • A slight yellow/green cast is noticeable in most tested conditions.
  • Dark tones lack detail when watching HDR10 video content.
  • Frame drops are sometimes noticeable when starting video games.

Peak brightness can be up to 863 cd/m², with 554 cd/m² available in auto mode. Contrast is 43:1 in contrast to the Samsung S21 Ultra that has 1384 cd/m² peak and 99:1 contrast in 30,000 Lux.

What We Think

The article is worth a look for its comparisons with other premium devices. I suspect that our friend Ray Soneira may well have come to a different conclusion as the weighting of his testing might well be towards better viewing in daylight. (BR)
