Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra supremacy continues with its one-of-its-kind anti-reflective screen. Huawei Pura 70 Ultra was in the headlines following the launch but failed to impress when compared to Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra among others.
IceUniverse posted a video showcasing the screen reflection on many flagships. The video displays the light reflection impact on the screens of OPPO Find X7 Ultra, Huawei Pura 70 Ultra, vivo X100 Pro, Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Galaxy S24 Ultra, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Huawei Pura 70 Ultra brings an innovative camera tech, but the lack of an anti-reflective screen can’t be filled with it. Apple also lags behind Samsung in terms of the most stunning screen visibility, and this trend might not be ending anytime soon!
The embedded video showcases the flashlight reflection on panels of all the tested smartphones. Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Max and Chinese flagships including Huawei Pura 70 Ultra failed to reduce the glare of the flashlight, which the S24 Ultra significantly declined.
When tested without a flashlight, the Galaxy S24 Ultra again proved superior among all. Thanks to Corning’s exclusive glass, the OLED offers vibrant colors at full capacity. At the same time, rivals look to producing faded colors, which isn’t an OLED fault, but glass’.

Samsung and Corning partnered to develop the Gorilla Armor glass. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is the only smartphone that boasts anti-reflective glass tech, which reduces reflectance by up to 75%, enhances display readability, and minimizes screen reflection.
