Smartwatch flashlight features on Apple, Pixel and Galaxy watches deserve more credit

Smartwatches from Apple, Google and Samsung all include a basic flashlight feature that simply maxes out the display's brightness and turns it white.

The panel isn't QD-OLED like its 34-inch sibling but still delivers 300 nits SDR, 500 nits sustained HDR, and peak brightness up to 1,300 nits, producing vivid highlights in games like Control and 007: First Light.
