There’s a little yellow about the Nothing Phone (1), which has already had a rather shaky launch for various reasons. The Hamletic Doubt: What is the? real peak brightness of the new smartphone? 1200 nits or just 663 nits?
In theory, the smartphone data sheet shows the first value, but according to the specialized site GSMArena, the peak would actually be much lower. In theory, the brightness should increase to 1200 nit when HDR content is played, as well as in other specific scenarios. But according to GSMArena, the maximum brightness around the software level would be limited 700 nit. A gap of almost 500 nits, not little.
The German site also intervened on the subject Computer base, which subjected the smartphone to several tests in an attempt to arrive at a verdict. Moral? According to German specialist journalists, it is not true that the Nothing Phone (1) reaches 1200 nits, even if they are made AD hoc the conditions under which the brightness, on paper, should rise to those values. In short, Noghing would have lied.
According to the portal, the Nothing Phone (1) has the hardware features necessary to achieve the promised peak of brightness, but it would be the software to prevent it.
A company spokesperson admitted that what the German site reported is true: Although the hardware supports 1200 nits, Nothing has chosen to limit the peak to 700 nits. “We chose this to ensure an optimal user experience,” he added, arguing that otherwise the battery would drain too quickly or the phone would overheat. The company added that it is following user feedback and promises that the limit may be removed in the future with a future patch.
