Is there any specs on this display is it also 120hz or just a standard 60hz because it is a 1080p display and the s20 supports 120hz in 1080P mode?
I know the displays and the technologies are different from the s20 and the z flip I was just curious.
9to5google and phonearena state its only 60hz

DisplayMate just dropped their S7/S7 Edge screen analysis. Basically these devices have the best screens on any mobile phone on the market, yet again. Quotes.
DisplayMate said:
The Galaxy S7 has a Maximum Brightness that is 24% higher than the Galaxy S6, which is a significant and visually noticeable improvement, particularly in high ambient light. The Contrast and Contrast Rating in High Ambient Light have also significantly improved. We’ll cover these in detail below.

The Color Gamut of the Basic screen mode is very accurate, with a nearly perfect 101 percent of the Standard sRGB / Rec.709 Color Gamut. Even better, the measured Absolute Color Accuracy for the Galaxy S7 Basic screen mode is an impressive 1.5 JNCD, tied with the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 for the most color accurate displays that we have ever measured for a smartphone or tablet, which is visually indistinguishable from perfect, and is very likely considerably better than your living room TV.
Use the Basic screen mode for the best color and image accuracy.

In Basic Mode (sRGB) the phone also hits 6480k, in Photo Mode (Adobe RGB) it hits 6512k, both of these for all intents and purposes are pretty much as close to the ideal 6500k as it gets. White balance is essentially perfect.
DisplayMate | Galaxy S7/S7 Edge OLED Display Technology Shoot-Out
Basically, Samsung AMOLED is currently the best display tech out there. Besting LCD in every category, from colour accuracy, white balance, brightness, viewing angles, daylight viewing, ambient light contrast, black levels et all.
Great. way to go samsung.
Highlights...
A new 3K Higher Resolution 2960 x 1440 display that fills almost the entire front face of the phone from edge-to-edge, resulting in a larger 5.8 inch display with a taller height to width Aspect Ratio of 18.5 : 9 = 2.05.
A new and accurate full 100% DCI-P3 Color Gamut that is also used for 4K TVs. Plus it is the first Smartphone to be certified by the UHD Alliance for Mobile HDR Premium, which allows it to play all of the latest content produced for 4K UHD Premium TVs.
The Native Color Gamut of the Galaxy S8 is even larger, the result of its new high saturation “Deep Red” OLED, resulting in a very impressive 113% of DCI-P3 and 142% of sRGB / Rec.709 Gamuts that also produces better on-screen Colors in High Ambient Light.
The Galaxy S8 has 5% to 19% Higher Screen Brightness, plus a record Peak Brightness of over 1,000 nits.
New front and back Dual Ambient Light Sensors for significantly improved Automatic Brightness settings.
Since 2013 the Display Power Efficiency of the Galaxy series of Smartphones has improved by a very impressive 56%. This year the new OLED materials on the Galaxy S8 have improved optical and power efficiency with its larger Native Color Gamut than on the Galaxy S7 (142% compared to 131% for sRGB / Rec.709).

Love it, hopefully the battery will last long enough then!
Thanks for this, I didn't think they would have this review up already so I didn't check. That sounds fantastic, pretty much the most important aspect of a phone. It's what we look at and interactive with all the time. It will complement my HDR TV nicely, I can watch HDR Netflix etc on the go now. Great news. Now I'm waiting for the Dxomark camera review.
Wonder how this compares to the note 7? I still have mine. Preordered the black s8 plus also

Sammy really should make an OLED TV with this screen, even though their QLED TV's are really good right now.

Their QLEDs suck compared to OLED unless viewing HDR content mastered at 4000 nits, and even then, you are trading contrast for brightness and still dealing with poor viewing angles.
They tried OLED TVs and failed. They either couldn't make good yields or product life span with their RGB pixels and cut OLED TVs. LG uses patented white OLED pixels with RGB color filters which results in uniform pixel/panel wear and they have managed great yields on the panels. They are the sole manufacturer of all OLED TV panels today.
I posed this question in various places but no one has come back to me with an answer.
The Note 20 Ultra boasts a 2X AMOLED touchscreen, according to the specs. But what exactly does this mean and what (if any) are the advantages over a standard AMOLED variant?
TIA

apparently even Samsung is not clear on the subject

Maybe it's some sort of marketing waffle. Apple do it all the time, I mean all that ludicrous Retina Display hype for example!

Dynamic Amoled screens are healthier on eyes because they have blue light filter built in the hardware of the screen itself + they have more Natural color accuracy not some what fake & over vivid like old Amoled displays .
But starting from S20 series there is 2x Dynamic Amoled because the refresh rate is doubled 120hz vs 60HZ but color accuracy and eye safety is the same

Thanks for the detailed reply!
A bit disappointing though that the 2X only refers to the display refresh. So I guess I was right in that it's just a bit of marketing fluff, as other manufacturers didn't give their 120Hz displays a differentiating name.
Still, at least I know it won't make me go blind when I use the phone at night in bed (though something else might lol)
.
I noticed on my new phone it comes with the resolution defaulted to 2280 x 1080 (FHD+) but it can be set to WQHD+ (3040 x 1440). My understanding is you use a bit less battery when using a lower resolution.
So if I'm not playing games, or watching 4K videos, is there really any reason to use the WQHD+ resolution? When I switch between the two, the fonts, icons, and apps have no noticeable difference in appearance. This is understandable when you consider many of us are watching TV and Movies in 1080P FHD and 4K UHD on a 60+ inch TV from across the room. Packing that same resolution into a 6-6.7" screen, even when viewing close up the PPI is so dense, even the lower 2280 x 1080 resolution looks beautiful with no discernable difference compared to 3040 x 1440. Even if you were to watch a 4K YouTube Video, on that small of a screen, I doubt there's any significant difference to watching it in 1080P. You definitely can see a difference on a 60" TV from 10-feet away.
I would also think in some cases on some phones maybe even gamers WANT to use the lower resolution to get faster frame rates for their games?
So I got to thinking further, is the WQHD+ resolution really in all practicality amounting to more of a marketing benefit to be able to advertise a spec that is equal to or better than competing model phones? Sort of like how for several years we got into the "Megapixel Race" on digital cameras only to come to realize more is not always better (higher megapixels on many cameras just introduced more noise given the same sensor size.)
Maybe the fact the manufacturer (Samsung), ships the phone defaulted to FHD+ instead of WQHD+ sort of answers my question right there?
I finally took the plunge and picked up a ViewSonic G-SYNC 144 Hz (165 Hz when overdriven) QHD 2K AHVA monitor last March. Aside from one worrying moment where the screen wouldn't display anything over DisplayPort, after some tasteful swear words it came back and has been working since. I do tend to use it at max 144 Hz, often less (120 Hz or 100 Hz if game streaming, as G-SYNC causes a few issues with OBS). A friend bought the Samsung Odyssey G9 DQHD which runs at 240 Hz, which is insane.
I have a 60 Hz monitor next to the 144 Hz one and frankly using anything less than 100 Hz disgusts me now.
Do you have a particular refresh rate you prefer, and is a faster refresh or higher quality panel your main priority? Variable Refresh Rate is great, but what is the most prevalent out there? Interested to know what monitors you are using and whether you consider them bad, good or average for the price.

Mainly I'm using two Monitors:
Lenovo P44w-10 with H/K USB-C Speaker and LG 24GM79G-B
Both are capable of 144Hz which is a big difference when you play FPS shooters and don't want any motion blur(like me).
The Lenovo is really expensive, but theres no alternative when it comes to the multiple connections the monitor can serve to you and the picture quality is really good though it has not a high vertical resolution(only 1200).

How do you find things like panel uniformity and backlight bleed?

The Lenovo panel is well made(also the overall quality) and I can't see excessive bleeding in dark situations.
Have an Acer Predator z35, 144 at stock and overclocks to 200Hz, g-sync compatible, have an Nvidia card, but game at 144.
It's kind of the sweet spot.
