iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 appear today in an extremely interesting comparison that aims to show us which of the screens resist burn-in better. We are talking about a problem of OLED screens known as burn-in, i.e. the blocking of some pixels with certain images displayed for too long on the screen, it being very old.
iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 were left for several hundred hours with the same image displayed on the screen to see where the burn-in effects first appear. iPhone X needed 510 hours for the burn-in effect to appear, in the case of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 it appeared earlier, without specifying the required time.
The iPhone X resisted much better than the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 regarding the destruction of the OLED screen by the appearance of the permanent burn-in effect on the screen. To be completely honest, I am very surprised that the iPhone X survived better than the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in terms of the burn-in effect.
The iPhone X shows that the Galaxy Note 8 is inferior in the burn-in test
The iPhone X was launched by the Apple company with warnings regarding the appearance of the burn-in effect if the same image is displayed for too long on its screen. Now we know that iPhone X needs 510 hours of constant display of the same image for the burn-in effect to become permanent, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 having lower performances.
The iPhone X basically has a much better screen than those of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in terms of preventing the biggest problem of OLED screens. Considering these results of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 screens compared to the iPhone X, we can enjoy what Apple has done with its phone.
The iPhone X will be very hard affected by the screen burn-in effect, compared to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, but that doesn't mean you have to push its limits. Apple knows how annoying the burn-in effect is for OLED screens, so it designed the iPhone X not to be seriously affected by it, and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 customers can't say the same.
