Nokia Lumia 1520 assertive display tech shines vs iPhone 5 vs Xperia Z Ultra vs Note 3

Apica's Assertive Display technology made its way into the Lumia 1520, and now it is being tested in a simple video comparison against the iPhone 5 with its bright IPS-LCD Retina Display, Xperia Z Ultra with its Triluminous screen, and the Note 3 with a Full HD Super AMOLED panel.

These are some of the best representatives of the various current mobile screen technologies, but as you can see in the video below, the Lumia 1520 assertive display not only stands its ground against them, but actually bests the competition here in both outdoor clarity and visibility.
