    Other notable features include “Android-first” support for one-nit display brightness, UFS 4.1 four-lane support, 35% longer Bluetooth audio range, and AI enhancements to reduce 5G and Wi-Fi power consumption. The modem also supports 7.4Gbps downlink speeds, and apparently delivers 15% more bandwidth due to 5CC carrier aggregation.

    1-nit display brightness is interesting but not sure how a soc has anything to do with it. Plus, UFS 4.1 support.

        I have not dived deep in display tech. But, from what I remember reading years ago. Display is controlled by a seperate display power controller. Unless, they were to integrate one with this chip it should not. Maybe, they do. Hopefully, someone does a deep dive later.
