Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra tipped to get brightest smartphone display

Samsung will be releasing the Galaxy S23 series in the new year, if we follow the typical schedule it comes out. Unsurprisingly, we're hearing rumours about it ahead of said launch. The latest report came from Twitter tipster RGcloudS claiming the Galaxy S23 Ultra could have the brightest display, even beating out the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It'll supposedly get a maximum brightness of 2,150 nits, which effectively beats out the 1,750 nits of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. 

The tipster contends that the "Numbers might be different at launch, due to further adjustments." They claim Samsung could raise the max brightness to 2,200 bits or higher with a minimum peak of 2,100 nits.

OnePlus 11 rumoured to stick to the green, black colour scheme

OnePlus 11 rumoured design

When OnePlus debuts its next flagship, we might still get the same colour scheme as the OnePlus 10 series. Tipster Max Jambor on Twitter claims the OnePlus 11 will come in black and green colours—with the former sporting a matte finish and the latter glossy. OnePlus typically switches around colours when it releases new smartphone generation, so we're still holding out hope for a new colour option. The OnePlus 11 is expected to get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip and faster UFS 4.0 storage.

Unrest at iPhone plant results in mass resignations, with report of 30% production loss

There have been mass resignations of workers at Foxconn's big iPhone assembly plant in Zhengzhou, China, following unrest at the plant. Foxconn failed to pay promised recruitment bonuses, with fears mounting over a COVID-19 outbreak within the plant. Over 20,000 new hires have been said to have left, and an internal estimate reports that over 30% of production could be lost. 

Apple has already taken the unusual step of warning that iPhone 14 Pro availability would be "very constrained" during this crucial holiday sales period. Foxconn has also released a warning of its revenue growth being reversed.

'Pokemon Scarlet' and 'Violet' sets new Nintendo sales record

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet aren't just buzzy, but they've also set a new sales record for Nintendo. The games sold 10 million combined units within the first three days of launch, making them account for the "highest global sales level for any software on any Nintendo platform" within that time frame. The sales figure covers both packaged and downloadable versions of the games. For comparison, Pokemon Sword and Shield made over six million units in their first week, which was the fastest-selling Switch title at the time. These numbers were reached even with some glaring technical issues plaguing the new Pokemon games. But it looks like those aren't enough to turn away the fans.
