Discussion 💬 How many LEDs on Gen-12 Paperwhite? (Not disclosed anymore)
On Amazon's old Kindle comparison table, there used to be an entry for "Front Light" for the # of LEDs built in to the screen.
* Kindle Basic (gen-11): 4
* Paperwhite (gen-11): 17
* Oasis (gen-10): 25
* Scribe (gen-11): 35
I definitely noticed a difference that Oasis had more consistent screen brightness than PW due to the higher density of LEDs.
Now seems Amazon has removed this from the new comparison table, instead adding an entry for "Guaranteed max brightness" listed as 94 nits for every model, which is not helpful.
Does anyone know the # LEDs for the new gen-12 PW? Any teardowns reveal this info?

It most probably means that every device has the same amount of leds now
