Deeper contrast display of Note 5 VS color accurate display of Xperia Z5
The Xperia Z5 and Galaxy Note 5 were really getting the best of each others capabilities and were showing off all that they can offer. For display, the things that got to us the most is the heavy contrast and punchier colors of the Note 5, thanks to its Super AMOLED display of Samsung , which is still considered to be one of the world’s leading OLED technology in the market today. The Super AMOLED display’s high contrast value almost gave the Xperia Z5 a run for its money, however, we did notice something amazing from the Xperia Z5, and that is its color accurate display. Colors were really warm and provided a more natural feel into it, in comparison to the Galaxy Note’s display.
