Despite reaching a high peak brightness of almost 3,000 nits (APL18: 3,146 nits) during our testing, the phone’s OLED display failed to fully impress us in everyday use. This is because the brightness drops sharply after just a short while, falling below 990 nits in our measurements, and is even much lower in manual mode.
This substantial reduction in brightness could affect the screen’s legibility outdoors. Particularly in summer, reflections on the glass surface may make on-screen content difficult to read.
