Pixel 8 Pro’s display will make Greta Thunberg (and you) happy: It’s twice as power efficient as the Pixel 7 Pro!

Google, how dare you? How dare you create a screen twice as energy efficient as the Pixel 7 Pro?

Currently the 2400 nits screen renders the Pixel 8 Pro the phone with the brightest screen on a traditional phone in the United States (via 9to5Google). According to further research and testing, it is also very energy efficient compared to Pixel 7 Pro.
