We’re coming across plenty ofSamsung Galaxy S24leaks and rumors as the expected January launch date gets closer – including another tip about a significant boost to the brightness of its display.
As per tipsterAhmed Qwaider(viaSamMobile), theSamsung Galaxy S24 Ultrawill come with a screen that reaches a high of 2,600 nits of brightness. That’s quite the step up from the 1,750 nits of its predecessor (see ourSamsung Galaxy S23 Ultra reviewfor details).
Back in Augustwe got wordthat the S24 Ultra would come carrying a super-bright screen, but that rumor put the limit at 2,500 nits. This latest leak suggestsSamsungis going to go even further in pushing the display brightness.

Other unconfirmed specs we’ve heard for the S24 Ultra screen include a size of 6.78 inches, and a 3120 x 1440 pixel resolution – so a display that’s slightly smaller than the S23 Ultra, but that packs in a few more pixels.
Versus the competition
As impressive as that peak brightness is, if indeed it’s accurate, it’s not quite up to the high bar that theOnePlus 12has recently set: that phone, which launches internationally on January 23, comes with a display that can reach 4,500 nits.
However, the Galaxy S24 Ultra would still beat most of the phones currently on the market. TheiPhone 15 Pro Maxoffers a peak of 2,000 nits with its display, while the screen on theGoogle Pixel 8 Procan get as high as 2,400 nits.
It’s worth emphasizing that these peak brightness levels won’t be constantly in use while you’re operating the phone: rather they’re the maximum brightness that the phone display is capable of reaching, under certain conditions.
