TL;DR
- A new report suggests that the Google Pixel 7 Pro’s display could be much brighter than the current Pixel 6 Pro.
- This may be due to the phone’s possible use of the Samsung S6E3HC4 display panel.
- The phone display could be higher in both normal and high brightness modes.
Rahman bases this prediction on another Pixel 7 leak report this week on Android Police. which claims the phone will have the Samsung S6E3HC4 display panel. The current Pixel 6 Pro uses the Samsung S6E3HC3 panel. This report directly contradicts another supposed leak from a few weeks ago, which claimed the Pixel 7 series would have the same display tech as the Pixel 6 series.
In any event, Rahman says that if this new leak is accurate, the display brightness for the Pixel 7 Pro should be higher, in both normal and high brightness modes, compared to the Pixel 6 Pro. How much higher? Based on some code diving, Rahman suggests the normal maximum brightness for the Pixel 7 Pro will be 600 nits, compared to just 500 nites on the Pixel 6 Pro. At the high brightness level, the Pixel 7 Pro could go as high as 1,000 nits, compared to just 800 nits on the Pixel 6 Pro. Of course, a higher brightness level on the display could impact the battery life for the Pixel 7 Pro, so we will have to see how that will work.
Keep in mind that Google has not confirmed anything about the Pixel 7 Pro’s display brightness or technology, so take all of this with a grain of salt. If it does turn out to be accurate, however, that could be a nice feather in the cap for Google’s next smartphones.
