Huawei Mate 80 Pro Max has defeated all flagship smartphones when it comes to screen brightness, but there is this one pocket-friendly rival that has come to challenge the top-end model in the display segment – the Honor Power 2.
In November 2025, Huawei launched the Mate 80 Pro Max as an ultimate smartphone. The device not only appeared as one of the best models in the Huawei smartphone family, but also as a tough competitor against other top handsets.
One of the top qualities of the Mate 80 Pro Max is its screen brightness. Unlike iPhone and Samsung Galaxy devices that are still struggling in the battery and display departments, Huawei’s new phone packs dynamic screen and cell specs.
Compare the 2025 flagships and their screen brightness:
- Galaxy S25 Ultra: 2600 nits peak brightness
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: 3000 nits peak brightness
- Magic 8 Pro: 6000 nits peak brightness
- Xiaomi 17 Pro Max: 3500 nits peak brightness
Although the Mate 80 Pro Max surpassed all these models with an 8000 nits maximum brightness. Users get superior visibility in bright scenarios like sunlight, preventing washout easily. The device also offers enhanced HDR content with more vibrant colors. You can clear visuals in both dark and light conditions.
But Honor has brought in an amazing and cost-effective rival to the iconic Huawei Mate 80 Pro Max, particularly in terms of screen brightness. It has launched the Power 2 smartphone with 8000 nits peak brightness.
The second-generation Power phone users an Oasis-powered eye protect display panel with three light modes: low blue light, darkest mode, and natural light.
These implementations ensure that users can easily read and see the main content on the device even in sunlight or any other challenging scenarios. Other display features are normal, as in the previous-generation model.
So, in case you are looking for an excellent screen device with a budget-friendly rate, then Honor Power 2 can be a good choice!
