Samsung 2000 nits smartphone OLED

Update: January 6

Samsung has recently showcased its smartphone OLED that can reach over 2000 nits brightness. Since the Galaxy S23 series is on the verge of its release, two trusted sources (1, 2) are 100% sure that this panel is not used in Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Initial story follows:

At the CES 2023, Samsung Display officially revealed that its smartphone OLED panel is the world’s first to reach the highest 2000 nits luminance and UDR (Ultra Dynamic Range) mark. The company said that it has secured both UDR 1500 and 2000 nits luminance marks for its smartphone OLED display.

As the UDR mark denotes the brightness excellence of a panel, Samsung Display’s smartphone OLED proves that it has been verified by a global leading verification company for its ultra-high-brightness capabilities, up to 1500 or 2000 nits, respectively.

Since Samsung showcased its smartphone display with 2000 nits brightness, it’s expected that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will also use the panel. The Korean tech giant, which produced OLED for iPhone 14 Pro can reach up to 2200 nits when required or in outdoors.

As UHD (ultra-high-definition) content is on the rise, display brightness range has become one of the key performance metrics for displays. Samsung Display’s high-brightness products show more realistic quality with rich color expression.

Compared to TVs, monitors, and laptops, the importance of the brightness of smartphone’s screen is quite high as phones are frequently used outdoors. Hence, the company improved display brightness without compromising with the quality of efficiency of power consumption.

Here’s how it works:

The user who wants to send money enters the password for their registered account in Samsung Wallet, inputs the transfer amount, then taps their phone against the recipient’s phone and completes the transfer through the default unlock method.

The recipient’s account number transmitted during the ‘Tap to Transfer’ process is encrypted and sent to the sender. Instead of displaying the full account number, only the last four digits of the recipient’s mobile phone number are shown.

The feature is currently available in South Korea and supported by Woori Bank.
