Now add mobile data and location navigation perhaps, and you'll see that the screen won't be properly visible at all after 10 seconds. Or how about a warm sunny day?

Test conditions only work well inside, in the real world these numbers CAN be hit but it doesn't matter if it's only for an extremely short while. We all know that iPhones have terrible cooling and thus they're gonna throttle the brightness HARD.

and do YOU know physics? Do you see the size difference between top TVs and phones? The larger a display, the more energy it will eat up and thus the more heat will be generated. Since phones are small they don't generate much heat and since phones rake in a huge amount of profits, display manufacturers focus on getting phone displays more efficient. As a result higher and higher brightness numbers can be hit on phones yet the iPad Pro needed a Tandem OLED for that.

        I feel like LCDs are more efficient when displaying bright backgrounds because of their backlight. However, they have a poorer contrast ratio, making blacks look grey.

        OLEDs will always go dim when they get hot. For each individual pixel to have its own LED, that means each individual pixel gets hot; which means the screen will be far hotter than an LCD.

        New technology, new problems. We've just gotta live with it.

              jiyen235, 19 Feb 20254000 nits for 5 seconds before going down to 600 nitsDo you know physics? Even top high end TVs can't light up that high despite bigger size and a heatsink. So unless you invent some type of newer technology. Complaining won't do us any good.

                Meanwhile Samsung will reuse the m10 display from 7 years ago for their s26 series
