Phonemax P10 Review

Display

Phonemax P10 is equipped with a 6.67-inch IPS display with an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. A Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protects the screen. The "Display" settings allow you to adjust the brightness level, colors, font and display size, lock screen settings, screen saver and switch on/off the dark theme, night light, adaptive brightness, and screen auto-rotation. Our usual measurements of the white and black luminance, static contrast ratio, and color temperature of the display are published below. If you follow our smartphone reviews, you already know that for a more realistic result, we make two different measurements - on a single frame that displays 50% white and 50% black and on two separate frames displaying a fully white and a fully black screen.

A single frame, 50% white / 50% black

Brightness	White luminance	Black luminance	Contrast	Color temperature
100 %	336.411 cd/m2	0.292 cd/m2	1152 : 1	9354 K
0 %	5.052 cd/m2	0.000 cd/m2	-	9031 K

Two separate black and white frames

Brightness	White luminance	Black luminance	Contrast	Color temperature
100 %	367.095 cd/m2	0.289 cd/m2	1270 : 1	9002 K
0 %	5.41 cd/m2	0.000 cd/m2	-	9020 K

The maximum brightness of our review unit is measured from the top-center on a fully white screen. It measures 381.043 cd/m². The two separate black-and-white frames measurement shows only a slightly higher white luminance, compared to the single-frame measurement - 367.095 cd/m² against 336.411 cd/m².There's a proportional difference in the black luminance levels achieved from both measurements, hence, the static contrast ratio does not differ a lot - 1270:1 vs 1152: 1. The temperature of the white point is in the 9000 K range.

Position	Left	Center	Right
Top	378.039 cd/m2 / 8788 K	381.043 cd/m2 / 8728 K	379.632 cd/m2 / 8772 K
Center	364.181 cd/m2 / 9061 K	367.671 cd/m2 / 8897 K	366.085 cd/m2 / 8899 K
Bottom	327.935 cd/m2 / 9364 K	332.206 cd/m2 / 9392 K	353.728 cd/m2 / 9388 K

Our brightness uniformity measurement shows that the display is not uniformly bright. The top one-third is the brightest part with an average brightness of 379.6 cd/m² at the top. The middle one-third has an average brightness of 366 cd/m². The bottom one-third is the least bright with an average brightness of 338 cd/m² at the top. The temperature of the white point varies from 8800 K in the top, 8900 K in the middle, and 9300 K at the bottom. The CIE diagram shows a color space coverage that's slightly larger than the 100% sRGB one. The magenta hues and, partially, the blue and red hues should be displayed correctly, while the cyan, green yellow, and orange hues look punchier. The IPS display has a traditional vertical striped RGB sub-pixel layout.
