The take
AMOLED is the headline — 2,000 nits on the base, 3,000 on the Pro — and the Pro still sells a MIP Solar screen if you want the battery. Maps render noticeably faster on the new chip, storage is 64 GB, and Pro inReach adds cellular plus satellite. Heavy, expensive, and still the default answer for mountain multisport.
