The point is that the only way of reliably knowing what is what is with properly done measurements, and studio photography, with people who understand the items they are photographing.
And another problem with these photos and videos is that they may not be testing what they think they are. Sometimes one screen may seem to be brighter or contras tier because of the way the phone is made. For example, if a phone has a binder glass and screen, it will seem brighter and contras tier than one that has spaces between. Then your not seeing the difference between the screens alone.
So this is complex. Without knowing all the facts, we may be thinking one thing, when we should be thinking something else.

I've had a graphics service for nearly 30 years Mel. And 40+ years dabbling in photography, tho apparently not on the professional level that you have. But hundreds of hours in profiling monitors, printers, scanners and integrating them into a color accurate workflow under controlled lighting has taught me a few things about perception. I know that no matter how accurate my color profiling, or how particular I've been with curves and levels, the customer's perception of my finished work is what counts. Most couldn't care less about any of the numbers. And quoting them when they feel the color or contrast is off, while explaining that their lights are different than the ones in my "proper" studio, won't do me a bit of good in convincing them it the way it's supposed to be when they see the finished work in place.
In the video I linked it's pretty obvious to me which display has the better contrast, looks brighter, crisper, and with more saturated colors. Surely you aren't saying that we should ignore what our eyes tell us.
