Which phone display is best? I ran 5 tests on iPhone, Galaxy S, and Pixel devices to find out

Home screens on a Pixel 10 Pro, iPhone 17, Galaxy s25 plus.

We spend a lot of time looking at our phone screens, and in recent years, phone makers have invested a lot of resources in giving us something impressive to look at. From brighter, more colorful displays to speedier refresh rates, today's phone screens are better than ever. But among the leading flagship phones — the iPhone, the Galaxy, and the Pixel — which one has the best display?

It's a question we're now able to answer, at least subjectively. The release of the iPhone 17 lineup last month means that Apple, Samsung, and Google have all rolled out new flagship phones this year. And while it won't be long before the Galaxy S26 series pops up at the start of 2026, we're at a point right now where we can look at all the best phone contenders side by side to see which one has a display that truly stands out.
