Display explainedNot enough evidence to score
iPhone 16: Apple publishes 460 ppi and a 2,000-nit outdoor peak, but the checked primary specifications do not give a numeric internal-display refresh rate. The v1 display score is withheld because that required input is unverified.
Pixel 10 Pro: Uses Google's 3,300-nit peak claim, 495 ppi and adaptive 120Hz maximum. This models published capabilities, not measured display quality.
