Can't see your screen in the sun? The key is in the "Nits"
The quality of a screen is mainly determined by its type and resolution. As smartphones accompany users everywhere and at all times, it is very important to take into account the brightness level of the screen, which is measured in nits.
A smartphone may have a powerful processor, adequate memory, and an excellent camera. But all of this can't be utilized by the user if the device doesn't have a screen that offers a good experience. "My screen has great resolution! Does it have enough brightness to send a message in broad daylight?" These are some of the most repeated phrases, and it's now time to understand what nits are and how they make a difference.
Trying to read a message on the beach or check the GPS during a walk under the sun gives an idea of how important screen brightness is. In these conditions, it doesn't matter how high the resolution is or the ability to reproduce colors: bright environments are the enemy of screens with low brightness.
The quality of a screen is determined -above all- by its type and resolution. Since smartphones accompany users at all times and places, it is very important to take into account the level of screen brightness, which is measured in nits.

In a nutshell, nits are a unit that measures the brightness of a screen. The more nits a smartphone has, the brighter the images you'll be able to see on it. Why is this important? A screen with more nits is much easier to use outdoors, even in direct sunlight.
Exactly: a screen with more nits helps to stop straining your eyes or squinting to see content in full sunlight.

Closer Innovations
Just like other innovations, screens with higher nits are no longer exclusive to high-end smartphones. Motorola, for example, just announced the only two devices in a super affordable price range with a screen of up to 1,000 nits.
The moto g15 and the moto g05 offer a sharp and clear view in any light condition thanks to the High Brightness mode, up to 1,000 nits.
Fans of series, movies, and games will have a more immersive experience on the 6.7" screens of these models, even with wet hands: the moto g15 and the moto g05 are compatible with Water Touch, another innovation that lands on entry-level devices.
Energy Consumption
Most smartphones have sensors to automatically adjust the brightness level based on the environment they are in.
That adjustment manages to deliver the best possible image, but it equates to consuming more battery. The solution? Cristián Barraza, product manager, was clear: "The Moto g15 and the Moto g05 have a 5,200 mAh2 battery, enough to listen to playlists for a longer time, make extended video calls, and watch favorite series to the end."
The nits may seem like a simple technical detail, but they are key when it comes to talking about an optimal experience with any smartphone, regardless of the environment in which it is being used.
