    2,000 nits on a phone.

    Samsung Display has announced that its latest OLED panels for smartphones can hit a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. That’s very bright for an OLED, and should help the company’s screens stay visible even when they’re used in bright light outside. In what’s unlikely to be a coincidence, the company also announced this week that its latest OLED TV panels can reach a similarly eye-searing brightness.

    Is this HTC’s promised Meta Quest competitor?

    One of HTC’s CES announcements appears to have leaked a little early. Tipster Evan Blass (private account) has shared images of what appears to be a new HTC Vive VR headset. Given the devices looks identical to what the company teased in December, this is almost certainly HTC’s lightweight competitor to the Meta Quest. Expect an official announcement later today.
