[U: Not for Galaxy S23] Samsung displays brightest 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.
Samsung Galaxy smartphone and laptop owners will be able to repair their products themselves. Today, Samsung announced the launch of the Galaxy self-repair program in South Korea, allowing consumers to repair their own products.
Thanks to the self-repair program, Korean consumers will not only be able to visit the Samsung Electronics service center and repair the product but will also be able to purchase the necessary parts online and perform the repair themselves.
Self-repair begins with some models and limited parts and will be gradually expanded in the future. Accurate repairable models and parts can be found on the official website. First, self-repair of Galaxy mobile products and some models of TVs becomes possible.
It starts with three models: Galaxy S20 ∙ S21 ∙ S22 series, Galaxy Book Pro 39.6cm (15.6- inch ) series laptops, and 80cm (32-inch) TV. Users of this model can purchase necessary parts and repair tools through the Samsung service website.
In the case of smartphones, self-repair is possible for three parts: the display, the back cover, and the charging port. A total of seven parts, including the touchpad and fingerprint recognition power button, are included in the subject of self-repair for laptops.
Once replaced, you can use the “self-repair helper app” to optimize the new part to work properly. Afterward, through the self-diagnosis function of the “Samsung Members App,” you can check whether or not there is an abnormality in the repair result.
Consumers who have completed self-repair can visit the service center or return some of the replaced parts and repair tools to Samsung through courier service and receive a refund of the eco-friendly deposit. Recovered parts are either recycled or lead to responsible disposal through inspection by Samsung.
Google’s hardware product design director Ivy Ross recently participated in a podcast show, confirming that Google has a second Pixel foldable phone, but did not disclose other details. It’s like a delay in a dual attack on Samsung’s Galaxy foldable portfolio.
Ross simply said that the Pixel device would “beyond every existing foldable,” which also caused Google to delay the product launch. She said Ross said the decision to forego launching a second foldable Pixel device was due to strict requirements for quality and innovation.
The official further added that she is proud of the team’s ability to create a better experience than existing foldable phones. It was previously reported that Google is developing a clamshell foldable phone similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. It’s unclear whether Ross’s Pixel will be the rumored foldable phone.

Apple is rapidly growing its shipments in the high-end market, as it makes only premium phones. Samsung, on the other hand, unquestionably leads the global smartphone market, but with just the highest number of units shipped. Consumers who have a budget of over $500 prefer buying iPhone over Galaxy.
Apart from Ultra, the base Galaxy S23 is listed as seventh after the iPhone 14 Plus, while iPhone 12 was the ninth most-sold premium phone in the same duration. Samsung’s latest flagships were released in February, while the iPhone 14 landed last September, still, sales numbers are not favoring the S23 line.
