The mobile displays we've received in the last few mobile generations have had wider-gamut displays than the displays that came before... but, I wouldn't necessarily call them wide-gamut.
To call it wide-gamut (without a slight wince while doing so), we'd need:
- 1000 nit brightness minimum (some are here and above)
- 99.99% P3 color conformity minimum (although if we're moving color spaces, why not reach for Rec2020)
- No dimming issues (if you've ever tried using a white mouse cursor on a black display, you know how annoying the lighting smear around it can be)
Right now, displays can support those different points and surpass them, but very very few can do all three at the same time.
There are miniLED displays that can support all three, but there's other issues that can pop up that can make them not worth it (e.g. viewing angle, and sometimes still weird dimming).
Then there's the newer microLED displays which avoid those problems, but there's still some production issues.
We're really close to the wide-gamut age, but I still think we need two things before we can cross that threshold and truely say we're in the wide-gamut age.
1. microLED becomes cheap enough to be the norm
2. iOS, and Android remove their "feature" where they oversaturate photos to simulate wide-gamut.
We're nearly there...
