OnePlus and Oppo are unveiling an 'historic' phone display next week

OnePlus and its parent company Oppo have teased what they promise will be "an historic moment for Chinese screens" (as per Google Translate), with a new display scheduled to be unveiled on Tuesday, October 24.

This comes from a post on Chinese social media site Weibo (via Android Central), and the message tells us that Chinese electronic components producer BOE is also going to be involved – and that's just about all we do know for now.

Well-known tipster Digital Chat Station has weighed in to say that the display in question is going to reach an impressive 3,000 nits of brightness. That beats even the Oppo Find X6 Pro, which can reach 2,500 nits of peak brightness.

As this is only a teaser, a lot of questions remain – such as which smartphones this display might eventually be attached to. However, it's something to look out for next week if you're interested in the evolution of these gadgets.

Heading to the OnePlus 12?

The next smartphone we're expecting from OnePlus is the OnePlus 12, which is rumored to be landing before the end of the year. One leak that emerged a couple of months ago suggested that the phone would have a display that exceeded 2,000 nits of brightness.

As you'll know from our OnePlus 11 review, we were impressed with the brightness and vividness of that phone's 6.7-inch display, even though it only reaches a maximum of 1,300 nits – so the next phone in the series might more than double the figure.

Of course there's also the possibility that this 'historic' display could come to Oppo phones as well. That it's specific to China is interesting, as both OnePlus and Oppo sell their handsets internationally – although they usually get an earlier launch in China.

We'll have to wait and see what OnePlus, Oppo and BOE have in store on October 24, and we might get some more details before then. There probably aren't many major phone announcements left in 2023, and this certainly could be one of them.

Windows Copilot leak suggests deeper assimilation with Windows 11 features

Key Windows 11 features may soon be customizable as Microsoft further integrates its Windows Copilot AI assistant into the operating system. This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest , which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds of Windows 11. These files apparently hint at future upgrades for the desktop AI assistant. For example, a “TaskManagerService-ai-plugin.json” was found which is supposedly a “plugin for Task Manager integration”. If this ever comes out, it could give users the ability to “monitor or close running apps using” Copilot. In total, six are currently tested and they affect various aspects of Windows 11. Next, there is an “AccessbilityTools-ai-plugin.json” that gives Copilot a way to “control accessibility [tools]. This would make it "easier for those with [a] disability to navigate through the system.” Third is “ai-plugin-WindowsSettings.json” for controlling important Windows 11 set...

Samsung's ViewFinity S9 may be the monitor creatives have been searching for

Originally revealed during CES 2023 , Samsung has finally launched its ViewFinity S9 5K monitor after nine long months of waiting.  According to the announcement, the ViewFinity S9 is the company’s first-ever 5K resolution (5,120 x 2880 pixels) IPS display aimed primarily at creatives. IPS stands for in-plane switching , a form of LED tech offering some of the best color output and viewing angles on the market. This quality is highlighted by the fact that the 27-inch screen supports 99 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut plus delivers 600 nits of brightness.  Altogether, these deliver great picture quality made vibrant by saturated colors and dark shadows. The cherry on top for the ViewFinity S9 is a Matte Display coating to “drastically [reduce] light reflections.”  As a direct rival to the Apple Studio Display , the monitor is an alternative for creative professionals looking for options. It appears Samsung has done its homework as the ViewFinity S9 addresses some of...
