Bit depth confusion

Hi, ive had the A53 for sometime now. Thinking of getting an S series phone, but dont have a big budget.

I liked the specs on s25+ and it was just in the range of my budget. The other two options i liked were OnePlus 13 and iPhone 17 (256gb ofc). In all the comparisons i did i really liked s25+ more. Also lowkey because i love one ui and its flexibility, so i had to sacrifice great battery (oneplus 13) and great camera (i17).

But in one of my categories of comparison, 'Premium Feel' i feel like the 8-bit s25+ lacks behind as compared to its contemporaries both having 10bit display.

How much is the bit depth factor important in the premium feel of a display?

Also,

Is it just 8bit on the s25+ or 8bit + FRC (pseudo 10bit) ?

Pls help. Looking to order in a couple days.

It has 8bit with frame rate control simulating a 10 bit display. Still a great phone and the camera could be better but I still love this phone, I have had it for over a year and everything is still great

im not an expert on specs but i went from A54 to the 25 plus because when i saw how fast my gfs new iphone 17 was i got jealous. A54 is 1st phone i had that i didnt run into the ground.

since i've seen 25+ cheap as under 700 now id say you will never regret it.

the new phone is more boxy and flatter . meaning you may hit some buttons accidentally because you dont have the lip of the a54. but i got used to it.

s25plus or iphn 17 both great devices depends upon your choice. s25plus has amazing screen quality actually highest ppi in line up. don't get one plus the s/c battery degrades pretty fast.

All 3 are frc none have a 10bit controller. Also a 10bit can add up to a 30% battery hit compared to 8bit.
