Description:
A leak suggests the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will have Samsung's brightest screen, but this might not help it much.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The Samsung Galaxy S22 range is inevitably going to be compared to the iPhone 13 range, as Apple is Samsungs biggest smartphone rival. But theres at least one area where the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra might have a substantial lead
over any iPhone.

According to Ice Universe (a leaker with a good track record), the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultras peak brightness is higher than the peak brightness of any other Samsung OLED panel.

They didnt say exactly how bright it can get, but the Samsung Galaxy S21
Ultra tops out at an already very high 1,500 nits. For comparison, the iPhone 13 range all top out at 1,200 nits. So Samsungs current flagship can already get brighter than Apples phones, and if this leak is right then its next one will get brighter still. These are the best Samsung phones The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE could still be coming Read our full iPhone 13 Pro review The peak brightness of S22 Ultra broke through the highest record of Samsung's OLED screen. Obviously, Samsung still keeps the best screen for itself. October

Dont count on this same upgrade coming to the standard Samsung Galaxy S22 or the Galaxy S22 Plus though. Ice Universe doesnt mention them, and the Samsung Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus dont get as bright as the S21 Ultra (though they do manage a still-impressive 1,300 nits).

Speaking of the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus, in a slightly older leak the same source claimed that they will have flat screens and flat rear panels, along with a symmetrical bezel, adding that this leaves them looking
a lot like the iPhone 13 range albeit without a notch.

Were not convinced they would really look that similar though, since leaks suggest the camera layout is very different to the iPhone, and since they
wont have a notch. Also, the Galaxy S21 and S21 Plus already have a flat screen and almost symmetrical bezels, so the only real change here would be a flat back, rather than the slightly curved edges on the current models. S22 and S22 + look like iPhone 13 without notch. The front and rear are flat and symmetrical bezel October 26, 2021 See more Analysis: the S22 Ultra is the
one to watch, but not for its brightness

Based on everything were hearing so far, it sounds like the Samsung Galaxy
S22 and Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus will be a lot like their predecessors, with most of the interesting upgrades being reserved for the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

That includes a new Note-like design, an S Pen slot, and as per this latest leak a brighter screen. But making the screen brighter isnt likely to be a very noticeable upgrade most of the time.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra already has one of the brightest displays youll find on a smartphone, and that extra shine will mostly only be beneficial in direct sunlight, which can otherwise leave screens looking washed out.

Even then, we dont typically find the Galaxy S21 Ultra hard to see, so the
S22 Ultras display might just look a bit better under those conditions, which probably isnt a reason to buy it. Check out all the best smartphones
