No I don’t think so. Have a citation for that?Did Displaymate just awarded pixel 3 having A+ rating and given "Best Smartphone Display"?
Does it mean that xs max "Best Smartphone Display" is now more lousy than pixel 3 "Best Smartphone Display"?
Got a tip for us?

DisplayMate: iPhone XS Max Has Best Smartphone Display Ever

Who wants to change display modes on their smartphone, seriously? LOL!!
Who cares if the Note has 4 modes? That’s stupid. Apple is too smart to have this nonsense on their phones.
And the XS has a better display than the Note 9.
When your phone doesnt have it, it is nonsense...
Now Pixel 3 has better display than XS since Displaymate is giving it "A+ rating and Best Smartphone Display" moniker.
Samsung wishes they were Apple. Apple got an A+ rating too.
Adjustable display resolution is a stupid feature.
FYI iOS has colour management so it does not need display modes. It will render the colour profile and gamut that is embedded in the image. If it the image was saved with a high gamut and requires it, then it will display that image in that mode.
Samsung’s solution is retarded. In dynamic mode it will render everything in high gamut making image colour wildly innacurate if the source image was not recorded in that mode.
In standard, it will render standard gamut images correctly but images that require high gamut will render without the full colour set making them dull and inaccurate.
That’s impressive for google considering how bad their displays were last year. I guess they got Samsung to supply all of their displays this year instead of LG.
What does this prove? Nothing.
This is the one for Note 9. As you can see Note 9 beat XS Max in many of the "XS Max is best categories"
- Absolute color accuracy: Note 9 is better
- Change in Peak Luminance: Note 9 is better
- Contrast rating: Note 9 is better
- Screen reflectance: Note 9 is better
- Peak brightness Note 9 is better
And Note9 scored the "best" in 11 categories compared to XS Max 8 categories
Displaymate gives "Best Smartphone Display" moniker to those very good screen that scored A+ rating.
It is just Ifans shamelessly interpreted "Best Smartphone Display" moniker for XS max as being the one and only one.
What I got from this post, with the labels and generalizations, is that it's tough when your favorite phone takes a nosedive in specs to the iphone xs.What does this prove? Nothing.

iFixit teardown said it is indeed a Samsung panel in the new Pixels.
Looks like Google finally realized that LG still can't make a decent display.
LG have supplied iMac LCDs (and CRTs) since forever, also they're supplying Apple Watch OLEDDs. So yeah, they do make pretty decent panels.
CRTs are moot and Apple uses Samsung LCD panels as well.
The LG panels on the Pixel 2 were garbage, hence my comment.
What you wrote was "that LG still can't make a decent display" though.
My point being, they've been supplying Apple with great displays for decades now.
