Smartphone displays are getting better by the minute, and it has reached a point where things have started to get more confusing. Smartphone companies have started advertising how their smartphones feature the highest peak brightness that consumers have seen, and Honor is jumping on the bandwagon with its latest Honor Magic6 and Magic6 Pro.
Honor Magic6 series has ridiculously bright displays, and I think it's getting out of hand
Based on some marketing information, the Honor Magic6 series packs some of the brightest displays in the market. The company claims that the display can go as high as 5,000 nits of peak brightness and 1,600 nits of sustained brightness. All of this sounds impressive, but I do not understand the point of advertising the peak brightness when we know the phone will not constantly hit that threshold. 1,600 on the other hand, is a much more reasonable number, which means that the phone goes very, very bright.
Now, we cannot really put the blame on just Honor, as these incidents have happened in the past, too. We have seen other companies advertising peak brightness instead of sustained brightness, and while there is nothing wrong with either of the choices, I just believe that it can be misleading for people who are unaware of what to look for in a smartphone. I am still interested in looking at just what the display of the Honor Magic6 is capable of, and I would like to see it go against the likes of the Galaxy S24 series, as well as the iPhone 15 series, and other similar flagship phones.
Sadly, I have a feeling that the Hono Magic6 series will not make an international debut. Based on the specs that we have, this could have been a very promising smartphone that delivers top-of-the-line performance and serves as a great competition to all the other devices that are in the market.
Do you think the screen brightness is something that you or the general public would care about, or is it just a marketing tactic? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
