-
According to our measurements, the maximum brightness is 466nits, both in manual and automatic mode.
-
In our testing, we recorded a maximum manual brightness of 737 nits and 1,273 nits in auto mode, making it perfectly usable even in direct sunlight.
-
The Galaxy S25 has an identical display to the Galaxy S24 - a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with 1,080 x 2,300 pixels, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support.
-
The S25 Ultra posted a reasonable but far from remarkable 1400-ish nits in adaptive brightness mode, and was good for a little under 800nits in manual operation.
-
The overall Active Use Score of 15:28h is an excellent figure.
-
the mids really are the star of the show here, as they are quite prominent in the mix
-
the iPhone 16 Pro posted an Active Use Score of 14:17h - a sort of a class-leading result, if you compare it to the Pixel 9 Pro and the Galaxy S24
-
Both speakers sound incredibly well in real life with deep and balanced audio.
-
We ran our own standardized tests and measured an impressive 1298 nits of maximum brightness by maxing out the slider.
-
Samsung Health provided what we found to be very accurate sleep tracking and then uses those to offer sleep insights.
-
In our testing, the Pixel 9 non-Pro was good for over 1,200nits of maximum brightness when adjusting it manually, the Adaptive toggle adding another thousand nits when the phone is under bright light. Both numbers are spectacular and easily better than what any competitor can muster at this time.
-
The OnePlus Pad 2 is an excellent mid-range tablet, one that offers flagship-grade performance, speakers and battery life.
