The race for brightness on Amoled screens would reach new heights with the future OnePlus 12, which would also take a (small) step ahead of the Galaxy S24 in this area.
The OnePlus 12 could outperform its competitor the Galaxy S24 on at least one element of its technical sheet. Expected early next year, OnePlus’ next high-end smartphone would indeed be able to take a step ahead of Samsung’s future flagship in terms of maximum brightness reached by its screen.
According to the first information that has leaked, the three variants of the Galaxy S24 would be equipped with an Amoled panel capable of reaching the threshold of 2,500 nits. A brightness peak significantly greater than the 1,750 nits displayed by the screen of the current Galaxy S23… but which would not be enough to outrun OnePlus. On the contrary, according to leaker DigitalChatStation, cited by SamMobile, the OnePlus 12 would reach the milestone of 2,600 nits.
An anecdotal difference for users
Note that both devices would offer their users a more than generous maximum luminance, more than sufficient to allow perfect readability outdoors and in the most brightly lit environments. In this area, the advantage of the OnePlus 12 compared to the Galaxy S24 would therefore be tenuous.
In any case, the OnePlus 12 would benefit from a 6.7-inch Amoled QHD+ (3168 by 1440 pixels) screen, manufactured by the Chinese BOE (competitor of Samsung Display for the manufacture of OLED panels for smartphones, tablets and laptops, among others). This screen would be based on LTPO technology and could thus oscillate dynamically between 1 and 120 Hz.
What you need to remember here is that with this Oled panel, OnePlus would be able to compete fiercely with Samsung, known for installing the best Oled screens on the market on its high-end smartphones.
For the rest, the Oneplus 12 would be equipped with a brand new generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, coupled with 24 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of storage. On the photo side, the device would have a 50 Mpx main sensor (allowing image quality equivalent to that of a 1-inch module), a 48 Mpx ultra-wide-angle camera and a 3x optical zoom mounted on a 32 Mpx sensor.
The whole thing would finally be powered by a 5,400 mAh battery compatible with 100 W fast charging and 50W wireless charging.
