Lab Tests: Display – Samsung Galaxy S25
Once more, the laboratory sample of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series reminds that it is not for nothing that Samsung is heading mobile display technology in broad strokes. The models each include a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate on their Dynamic AMOLED 2X panels to enable fluid scrolls, responsive gaming and animations with the screen. The S25 and S25+ have not seen a resolution jump over the 1080p+, however, while HDR10+ certification is present across each board.
Brightness levels are outstanding. The S25 Ultra hit over 2,600 nits in our measurements and it is easily readable even under direct sunlight. The S25 and S25+ were slightly less bright but still peaked above 2,000 nits easily. You get near-perfect color reproduction with Delta E: 1 in Natural mode, which makes the colors as accurate to the human eye as possible.
But viewing angles are excellent, with only very slight color shift at extreme tilts. The 240Hz touch sampling rate provides accurate input for fast-paced gaming, getting as low as 1Hz in the adaptive refresh rate when viewing static content to help battery efficiency.
It gets a slick curved-edge style unlike any other S25 out there, yet the shallow sides are so subtle that touch functionality is perfect. In all, the Galaxy S25 sets a new 2025 industry standard for display quality.
