Bad news for the Nothing Phone (1), the first smartphone released by Carl Pei’s company. Some time ago, in fact, the company advertised the device as being able to achieve one brightness maximum peak of 1200 nits, but only in some HDR video content. In fact, this is a fairly common performance for smartphones, which don’t always reach the advertised maximum brightness. But here, it seems, the question is different. The display of the Nothing Phone (1), in fact, cannot come up to 1200 nights.

Nothing Phone (1): display does not reach its advertised maximum brightness

If you have recently purchased a Nothing Phone (1) we are sorry to give you this news, but perhaps it is good that you know that the smartphone is not really equipped with all the technical specifications that were announced at the time of its launch. In fact, the German portal ComputerBase recently claimed that the phone is unable to reach the maximum brightness of 1200 nits. The reason? As it turns out, while the display hardware is capable of reaching that peak, the software currently does prevents exceeding 700 nits.

In response, a spokesperson for Nothing sent a comment on the matter to GSAmarena. “The hardware is capable of reaching peak brightness up to 1,200 nits, but is currently limited by software to 700 nits,” he said. This decision was made to ensure a balanced user experience with regards to heat and battery consumption. We look forward to hearing from our users on this and will be checking feedback carefully to see if this should be addressed in future software updates. ”

According to the statement, the mistake could therefore be the responsibility of the marketer, who actually communicated wrong data to users. Who is the “fault”, in reality “, now matters little. What interests us is to know if there will be an update that will allow the Nothing Phone (1) to reach the maximum brightness advertised. But we will only find out in the future.
