The Galaxy S23 Ultra from Samsung is turning out to be quite an interesting device despite many claims that it won’t feature any major changes from the existing S22 Ultra. We already know that the smartphone will come equipped with an exclusive overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, with higher CPU and GPU clock speeds than the regular model.

Now, Twitter user @RGcloudS has leaked some details regarding the display panel of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. According to the tweet, The maximum brightness of the AMOLED display may be in the realm of 2,100 to 2,200 nits+, and its touch sampling rate may be set at 960 Hz. It is believed to have a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) frequency of about 2,000 Hz. Last but not least, the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s screen reportedly uses 45% less power than its predecessor.

Going by these metrics, it appears that Samsung is planning to outclass the iPhone 14 Pro models in terms of brightness. To recall, the Apple flagships have a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. According to Dylan Raga, a display specialist for XDA Developers, the Galaxy S23 Ultra might not take the crown just yet. Dylan claims that the OLED emitters used in both displays are identical and that the peak brightness tests used by Samsung and Apple are different. While the latter’s screen is set to around 25% APL, the former’s is at 1% APL (Average Picture Level). The iPhone 14 Pro’s maximum brightness is 2300 nits at 1% APL (via).

Relatedly, a recent report leaked the details regarding the camera setup on the upcoming Samsung flagship.
