Comparison of M14 displays in Galaxy S26 Ultra and iQOO 15 Ultra. Why Samsung limits manual brightness.
A real-world comparison by blogger Sahil Karoul reveals that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and iQOO 15 Ultra feature identical M14 2K displays, yet differ in peak brightness. The Samsung model appears dimmer at maximum manual settings. According to insider Ice Universe, Samsung intentionally limited the brightness to preserve battery life. In contrast, the iQOO 15 Ultra, equipped with a larger battery, allows for higher output. Notably, the Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces a new "Privacy Display" feature with two modes to protect sensitive information from onlookers.
