As mentioned above, the distinction occurs very naturally between the two smartphones due to their format. It must be said that compared to the 6.6-inch Galaxy A55, the Pixel 8a “makes do” with a 6.1-inch panel, which is almost compact considering the dimensions that are most popular today.
Both smartphones feature an Oled-based Full HD+ panel with a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz (no LTPO). The larger format requires the Galaxy A55 to display a slightly lower resolution than its rival, namely 390 ppi compared to 430 ppi.
In terms of calibration, both smartphones are successful. If you had to choose the right (Natural) mode to get the best results, they both have a low E (1.4 for the Galaxy A55, 1.2 for the Pixel 8a) and a color temperature close to 6500 K reference (6516) K for the Galaxy A55, 6795 K For Pixel 8a). The Google smartphone, on the other hand, steps up to maximum brightness, since we observed up to 1507 cd/m2 under our sensors, well ahead of the 1064 cd/m2 of the Samsung terminal, about which there is no need to be ashamed of its performance. But thanks to that value, and being slightly less prone to reflections than its rival, the Mountain View wins this point by a whisker.
