When it comes to looking exactly like a phone screen then it's difficult. As far as I know every manufacturer decide (possibly from model to model) exactly how they want the screen to look and many phones will also let the user choose between profiles.

My approach in the past has been to load test images or videos onto the phone.

We has a problem where the (well-known) manufacturer of the phone - which used our chip - complained about the colours they were seeing. Problem was, the colours from their display panels were very inconsistent. I loaded up a testcard on a dozen of the prototype phones, and took a picture of them all together. I sent them the picture.

You should be thinking about a controlled viewing environment.
