It's too early to tell. You should have waited a little longer.

I don’t think it matters how accurate the colour accuracy is when the display is like a strobe light! It’s the worst display on any phone for years and it causes eye strain, headaches and nausea.

LOL Calibrating a phone screen.

Wonder if you could use an x-rite photo spectrometer?

Warning! They are not cheap!

(I've used them to calibrate printers, monitors to a Fiery server. Takes a while too!

So Delta 3+ it's crap compared to other phones. + most of the day we don't see the display at 200 nits but way more

it sucks that you are sensitive to PWM flicker. they should have an option to make it higher for people like you.

The real problem would be software. How would you get Android to use the ICC profile it builds? Would it have to be system level privileges? Some kind of ADB debugging privileges to give it root-like permissions?

It would have been nice to create a comparative table vs previous Ultra years' phones, even only vs. 2025 Ultra phone. The greater the comparison sample size the greater the understanding and the 'wow factor' when we detect technological leaps and bounds. It would be nice to see a standardized test that can done year after year with newer results added as new phones come out, this way there is no need to look for older phones for comparison testing. Other web sites do it, specifically in the computers area, like Anandtech and such. When e was hunting for the best thermal paste such a year by year comparison that was found online was genuinely handy. If nothing else, multi-year comparison can boost one's ego.
