Nothing lied in the ads and embellished the capabilities of the Nothing Phone smartphone (1). Why?

The much-publicized Nothing Phone (1) debuted on the smartphone market last month. But as it turned out, the manufacturer embellished its capabilities, and it became known.

What's wrong with it?

It was originally claimed that the Nothing Phone (1) got a 6.55-inch OLED display that reaches a maximum brightness of 1,200 nits. But tests by ComputerBase showed that this is far from being the case, with brightness at a maximum of 700 nits. And even in specific situations, this figure does not increase. Other sites, such as GSMArena and Heise, also confirmed that the smartphone is not as bright as the manufacturer assures.

The ComputerBase team contacted representatives of Nothing, and they said that "peak brightness is around 700 nits. Nothing will correct that in the future." The publication claims that Nothing has also lowered the claimed brightness on its official website.

In a comment to XDA, Nothing stated: "The hardware is capable of reaching peak brightness up to 1,200 nits, but the software currently limits it to 700 nits. This decision was made to provide a balanced interaction with the user in terms of heat and battery consumption. We look forward to hearing from our customers about this, and will monitor the feedback closely to see if this issue should be addressed in future software updates.
