TOP smartphones with the best screens in 2023
Manufacturers are constantly improving their smartphones, and this applies not only to the processor and cameras. The display is one of the most important parameters in a mobile device, which users immediately pay attention to. The matrix, resolution, refresh rate, pixel density, brightness and additional features such as LTPO, HDR and Dolby Vision play a big role.
Nowadays, most smartphones are equipped with excellent screens, so it is quite difficult to choose something really cool and unusual. To make this task easier for you, we have compiled a selection of 6 phones that boast not just good, but great displays.
TOP-6 smartphones with the best displays
Our rating consists mainly of flagships, since all the coolest technologies are implemented in this segment. But there will be a few mid-budget models, which also sometimes keep up with the top models. In the selection you will find only the best.
Xiaomi 14 Pro
You will not be surprised that our rating opens a smartphone from Xiaomi. The recent novelty received a stunning LTPO AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a peak brightness of 3000 nits, which can be considered a real record. Such brightness is really impressive. Support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision mode is also declared, and the number of shades reaches 68 billion.
The Xiaomi 14 Pro display is huge - 6.73 inches. The front panel of the phone is rounded at the edges, and the back is made of glass. The dimensions and weight are also quite large - 161.4 x 75.3 x 8.5 mm with a weight of 223 (230) grams.
In this smartphone, not only the screen and design are beautiful, but also the "stuffing". The latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 top-of-the-line processor is installed on board. The maximum amount of memory reaches 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of external storage. The camera is also impressive: the Xiaomi 14 Pro boasts a main module, a telephoto and an ultra-wide camera of 50 MP each.
The capacity of the Xiaomi 13 Pro battery is 4880 mAh, and you can fully charge it in just 18 minutes thanks to the 120-watt charger. If you want to charge a smartphone using wireless 50-watt technology, it will take 40 minutes.

An OLED screen with a refresh rate of 144 Hz, a resolution of 1220 x 2712 pixels and a peak brightness of 2600 nits is declared here. There is support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+. It is somewhat disappointing that LTPO technology is missing, but its place is already in the flagship segment.
Redmi K60 Ultra is protected against water according to the IP68 standard. Excellent gaming performance is provided by the 4-nanometer Mediatek Dimensity 9200+ chip. You will be surprised, but the maximum amount of RAM is 24 GB. The volume of PZP in the maximum modification is 1 TB.
The main 50-megapixel module of the Redmi K60 Ultra has optical stabilization. Ultrawide is quite weak - 8 MP, but this is the usual standard in a medium-budget camera. But the battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh with a charging capacity of 120 W deserves unequivocal praise.

The body is glass, the frame is aluminum - everything, as it should be in a flagship.
Google Pixel 8 Pro pleased fans with the new Tensor G3 processor. Despite the fact that this is the coolest iron from this manufacturer, it is still slightly inferior to the flagship chips of Qualcomm and Apple. But you can be sure that both for everyday use and for games, the Tensor G3's performance is sufficient. The maximum modification offers 1 TB of permanent and 12 GB of RAM.
The Google Pixel 8 Pro's triple camera creates really cool pictures thanks to a 50-megapixel main, a 48-megapixel telephoto and a 48-megapixel ultra-wide. The quality of the photo is really amazing. Video can be recorded in 4K@30/60fps.
The battery life of the Pixel 8 Pro has no issues either. The battery with a capacity of 5050 mAh will calmly provide a day on one charge with active use. But the charging power is small - wired only 30 W, and wireless - 23 W.
