Very low brightness on the lowest setting, and insanely bright on max. Colors look great, response is excellent.
I've had with the S6 that I'll only get full brightness when it's directly in the sun. Indoors it doesn't matter but outdoors facing against the sun it sucks, is that gone with the s7?
so much better than the s5 that i had before, now i can se the screen even in sunlight.. guess i have to wait untill summer to know for real.. but looks great so far!
My s6e+ screen got brighter than my s7e.... Is it just me or what
GOOD
EXCELLENT
Looks good outdoors currently passes halfway mark on brightness maybe 65-70
The Note 4 I had before was much brighter outdoors than the S7 Edge...
Did you have auto brightness on
I have noticed my Note is brighter at max brightness but with auto brightness on s7 edge passes it

Super amoled display. It's give you same brightness in the sun. There are no phone that you can give same brightness in the sun. So, outdoor visibility is best from any other android phone. Don't think about outdoor visibility. I check it. Really amazing!
Hello everyone! I want to introduce you my real life outdoor video of Screen sunlight visibility comparision between, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and other Galaxies.
I hope you will like it and it will help you!

I'll give it 10 out of 10. That's because the marvelous Friedrich420 at Echoerom has given us the awesome outdoor mod in V5. See picture attached. Now I can't go without it
I had my note 5 and S7 edge outside today in the naked sun, both set to auto brightness. I couldn't tell the difference with or without sunglasses. Bother beautiful and clearly visible with sunglasses. My iphone toting daughter lost her mind. LOL HAHAHA
did any of you notice a pink hue when viewed in direct sunlight? sections of the screen covered by shade will appear white without the pink hue.
My S5 is brighter than my S7E at all level outdoor.

better than the 6s for sure!
It's ok. my note 4 is brighter btw.
I don't know why people like AMOLED. They're absolutely awful.
Superb

Outdoor visibility is only so-so. I can see, but I wish it can be even brighter.
It's sufficiently bright for outdoors on the max brightness.

Display has very good colour reproduction and imo a very deep black for a lcd. Overall excellent screen, with wide viewing angles.
There's an option in developer options "Increase readability under sunlight"
People should check it out.

This was checked automatically when I enabled Developer mode, maybe thats why I didnt find it that difficult to view screen while outside.

It's not the best but it's not worst in anyway. I have seen worse than this.
Sent from my Honor 8 pro using Tapatalk
Yeah. Not worst. My comments came out of frustration. But, for a phone with 2K display and 30K price, this should have been better. I face lot of readability problems outdoors/under sunlight.
Since it's an IPS display you shouldn't expect the same outdoor visibility that you would get with AMOLED displays.
2K display shines here.
Performed Very good in outdoor contions.
Ok with the reading under sun.
for regular condition it works fine but under direct sunlight, it is difficult to read the screen.
it performs really good in outdoor.no problem
having no problem is using in direct sunlight.
100% visible outside.
You should try opening camera under sunlight to find actual readability. It worst than any other phone
It's kind of difficult in direct sunlight
I have only one problem with the Honor 8 Pro and it is it's display brightness. I do not expect OLED levels of brightness from the screen but a little more output would be helpful.
In direct sunlight it is almost impossible for me to see anything. Yes my outdoor visibility more is turned on. No doubt that under some circumstances it is possible to see clearly outdoors but sometimes, especially when keeping it side by side with another device it's simply disappointing.
Coming to the pros of the display, the 2k resolution and the IPS functionality gives this phone super accurate colors and wide viewing angles.

The brightness is fine. It's not as good as the galaxy s8 but def better than HTC10 or honor 8\ p9. I watched basketball on it the other day and it was great.
light can be set to very dimmed but the color contrast is still vivd. Good!
I have the Pixel 2 and the Essential. I think the Essential gets brighter. Very satisfied on that front.
This phone is more bright then most people think because some people don't turn off the adaptive screen option when they want to maximize the brightness. It makes a huge different without that option.

True. Having this feature turned on by default should be punished to life in prison.
I mean you make the screen the highlight of the phone, and then nerf is by default??? WTF
It's ok, but not excellent.
I rate it approximately equal to most other devices in full sunlight outdoors. You will want to shade it with your body but, having done so, it's acceptable.

Bad visibility. Tho not the end of the world, as long as you don't live in the desert.
Screen Retention is a major issue.
I recently had downgraded to Stock Oreo and in Stock Oreo the Screen Brightness on max is very good i can see clearly in the sunlight but in Stock Pie Rom Brightness is little bit low i don't know why there is brightness difference between Oreo and Pie

They call it "battery optimizations"
LoL.....................
Under the sun, need to crank up to max to barely see content on screen.
Can't see anything at 70% brightness which is my default settings.

My MiA1 is since Sep 2017 and I stopped at Android 8.1.0. Screen brightness is nearly same as new in bright Sun.
I can read the screen quite well (if not better)
No problem for me. I would give MiA1 4/5 stars.

well then you must have another panel/screen because on my mi a1 outside is terrible to see anything on it, is the only major issue i have with my phone.
My MiA1 has GPS problems
I received my MiA1 on September 14, 2017 (in India), one of the first 100 released by Xiaomi (with "Made in India" embossed).
I think it's part of a batch which was made, possibly, with care and high quality components.
Don't laugh, but I KNOW THIS for CERTAIN that Quality Control is SO VARIED from batch to batch in this Current time (past year 2000), that You've to be LUCKY to have a good device.
This is the "Chinese Syndrome" for QC, HAS INFECTED the World. Xiaomi is part of this.
My MiA1 GPS receiver HAS Degraded, the signals received are WEAKER, and often lose the GPS location, particularly inside a car, train (worse), aircraft (worst). You've got to be near the window, glass cover (below car's windshield).
My MiA1 Display is still the Original and Good. I think it's a matter of luck for me. All H/W are performing well ( ex GPS).

well, my display aint degraded, since the very first day the glass is very very reflective and outdoor, during day time, is hell to read it.
the panel itself is nice, good color, no flickering or issues, no changes during time.
gps for me work fine, but, work better on custom rom compared to stock.

Most Samsungs over the last few years have been up over 800 lumens for me, but this doesn't quite reach 600. It surprises me as it seems very bright. Does anyone else measure the lumens?
Is it brighter than note 8?
Not as bright as my N8. The auto brightness is broken, I think.
My autobrightness works well on my note 9. I don't see much difference in max brightness when in auto mode outside between the Note 9 and note 8 though. When not using autobrightness, having both phones at max, the Note 9 is slightly brighter and slightly whiter IMO.
FWIW, displaymate has rated the Note 9 brightest, most accurate, best display ever. Just like they did with the Note 8 last year, S9 this spring.... Sammy always makes the best displays, and currently the Note 9 has the best display available on any phone.

Nope. I think it's a software bug, when toggling between camera and phone sometimes the phone brightness will be brighter than before.

I think when its in manual mode, you dont get access to the full range of brightness, only after putting it into autobrightness mode. Perhaps Samsungs way of not letting the phone get too hot and igniting like the Note 7?

Its normal, all phone manufacturers do that.
This is because an automatic brightness will be able to increase brightness if it is needed for a short time (like when you are outside in the sun and use it for a few minutes) but it wears out the battery and screen so it needs to cut back after a little while. when you are on manual, the phone cannot regulate so the maximum they can allow has to be a safe level. Most phones also dim brightness when you play a graphics heavy game since temperature is death for your battery. its like thermothrottling for CPU. Totally normal and necessary. otherwise people would complain why their battery capacity is down to 70% after 6 months.
Good visibility but i prefer to have the full control of the max brightness without auto mode
