Competition is good, for us. If Samsung beats Apple in a particular category, that will increase the likelihood that Apple will improve in that category. Competition fuels innovation, which is great for us consumers.
Well sometimes all it does is create gimmick features and in the end just creates pissing contests with little to no value. Its not always a great thing.

The quality of displays and cameras in smartphones right now are so good that the average consumer would need a bionic eye just to tell the difference. It's negligible
ah crap. guess i’ll have to give up my X now, until the new one comes out and is on top again. and then i’ll have to give that one up too a few months later, and.... 😎
Just finished going through DisplayMate data tables.
An absolute color error for iPhoneX screen is Δ(u’v’) = 0.0037. , 0.9 JNCD, For samsung (lol) - Δ(u’v’) = 0.0366; 9.1 JNCD. That is just terrible. It kind of sucks and kills all the benefits of SLIGHTLY wider color gamut in Sammy screens, by making it unusable for correct color representation. Not sure, how can you "beat" anything/anyone with those errors. These measurements are taken in DCI-P3 and adaptive modes, respectively for Apple and Samsung products. Adaptive mode is the only mode that is SLIGHTLY larger comparing to p3, while all Samsung color gamuts are just like (or smaller) p3 in iPhone.
They deserve kudos where it's due. For a long time they were notorious for not caring about display colour accuracy, now they have the most accurate panel out there as well as winning most other metrics.

Do they? Why were they not interested in color accuracy before? How much of this can be credited to requests from Apple for a higher quality panel?

... and while your at it throw out the HomePod, no need to listen to phenomenal sound quality when you can get a cheap one that answers trivia questions better.
Displaymate has a very good reputation so the declaration of accuracy is credible but there is also software involved. Apple has best in class color management in iOS and last I heard, Android was just getting it for the first time. They should follow up with a discussion of software and appropriate use of color management in things like browsers and photo editing apps.
Anyone know if Android Oreo has equivalent color management to iOS?
MplsP hits it on the head: “It would have been nice to see comparison numbers between the iPhone X and the S9 to see how big the difference is.” Is this another “subjective 99 compared to 98” situation as with the DxO mark, or is their a noticeable difference (like the rather large gap between the A11 and Exynos)? It’s a pity we don’t have that info.
FFS, consumers are treated like imbeciles. Nobody is doing pantone accurate work on a smartphone. Colour fidelity and tech spec numbers are more relevant on desktop displays.
Yes. For the vast majority of users colour accuracy is a non issue as long as the image looks good to them. Many even deliberately distort images from within the camera by applying things like food filters.
If the display has no obvious defects like burn in, ghosting, weird casts etc, very few people see their displays as lacking.
Some even live perfectly normally with the glass cover completely cracked.
We reached this level years ago. I definitely don't need even higher resolutions or bit depths but if I am being charged an arm and a leg for the phone they should at least be there for the price.
When comparing high end displays few people will even notice the real difference.
Far more important are things like low light and motion blur.
I think at least some would sacrifice display quality if the photo they've taken didn't have motion blur.

Apple definitely gets credit for dragging the industry kicking and screaming in this direction generally, ever since retina and getting increasingly accurate since.
I doubt their panel directly impacts this though, as it's a custom one unlike this in several aspects, but Samsung has gradually moved towards accuracy in the last few phones (since the S6, after the pretty out there for accuracy S5), and now this one grabs the crown overall.

It’d be like looking like Brad Pitt but being brain dead.
Or being rich like Trump but looking like Trump.
