I didn't think browsers on iOS were allowed to use any frameworks other than webkit?

That’s exactly my point. Every other browser has to use the same framework and every other browser functions fine on iOS.

Yes, when I went to Best Buy and watched a few HDR YouTube videos the Note 9 I used got much brighter and looked great. But any other YouTube video not in HDR was extremely dim (374 nits) and not as impressive as the X. (700 nits)

Did you really just call the Note 9 display extremely dim? Ive got an S9+ and I never have the brightness set above 50% unless i'm in full daylight, the display is very bright. When you do take it in direct sunlight it ramps the brightness right up so you can still see everything clearly, its far from extremely dim.

Indoors yes. I didn’t call it dim, DisplayMate did. I’m just verifying his analysis with my own eyes. Wouldn’t you say 374 nits is much less than 700 nits?

Im fully aware that the iPhone under normal conditions is brighter but my point is the S9 at least is not dim and has more then enough brightness for all conditions. I don't ever go above 50% unless in full direct sunlight. Ive never thought to myself this display isn't bright enough.

Then why the initial question about the Note 9? The Galaxy S9 is in the exact same boat at 373 nits. DisplayMate didn’t test the S9+ so it very well could be brighter indoors.

Im assuming the Note 9 would be brighter then the S9+, or at the very least would be equal.
