Not too long ago, Nothing discovered itself in a little bit of controversy after it was found its Telephone 1 didn’t meet the brightness specs described in its unique promoting. The corporate has now despatched an official remark concerning the Telephone 1’s brightness to Android Authority.
Within the assertion offered by Nothing, the corporate mentions:
The {hardware} is able to reaching as much as 1,200 nits peak brightness, however that is at the moment capped by the software program to 700 nits. This determination was made to make sure a balanced consumer expertise concerning warmth and battery consumption. We sit up for listening to from our customers about this and can monitor suggestions carefully to grasp if this ought to be addressed in future software program updates.
In supplies offered to Android Authority, it was defined to us that 0-500 nits is taken into account the traditional vary for the Telephone 1 and 500 nits may be achieved in traditional circumstances. Nonetheless, the 500-700 excessive brightness vary will solely set off when the auto-brightness mode is enabled and the telephone is beneath robust gentle. The 700-1,200 vary is supposed to be a particular mode that’s at the moment unavailable as a result of software program limitations, for now.
Whereas the remark clarifies why the London-based firm selected to restrict the brightness — regardless of the {hardware} being able to extra — it doesn’t essentially clarify why it selected to initially use the 1,200 nit measurement in its advertising.
