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

The Honor 5X screen has excellent viewing capabilities outside. Along with a pretty good brightness it also changes the contrast when it detects a lot of light falling upon the frontside. The combination of these two make it quite easy to use in sunlight. Of course the glare might be in the way but then just rotate the phone slightly so that you don't reflect the sun in your eyes...
Screen looks good outdoor with Max brightness. The performance is also good in the dark with minimum brightness settings.

autobrightness taking time... But good..
To be fair, no phone meets the might of straight floridian sun beaming down leaving no room for vision. This phone is no different. My iphone 6 is on the same level as this phone. I cant see much out.

LOL...the reflection alone is enough ta' blind ye...
Joking aside, the Honor 5x does well outside, even though the Autobrightness setting is a little slow to compensate (can take a second to recognize it's inside a dark room or outside in full sun). Outside of that it is comparable with many flagship phones over the last couple years in that regard.
I would rate it poor outside in Thai sun with or without auto brightness, iphone 5 onward does little better when I compared .
good enough
AUTO brightness takes time to adjust but if you set brightness mutually then everything will be alright i mean its quite good
Very bright
Good enough, sometimes auto brightness does not work
Good enough. Not too hard to read outdoors.
Great for its price. Easily readable screen
Its one year later, summer 2017 though I love my L24 the display is crappy outside though I turned auto brighten off. I snap alot of wildreness pics out walking, my old iPhone 5c has better outdoor display sadly.

Would've loved an amoled screen.
Well that's sure to help anyone considering getting the G6.
Are you sure it's not Amoled? Did you research reviews and specs before you were forced to get your G6?
Please don't reply.
Well i have used the phone in direct sunlight and cant really say anything bad about it is readable so tha i can take calls, read texts but i wouldn't go out and start watching a video since when i say direct sunlight its like 90+°F lol but if i sit in a sunlight area with a bit of wind then yes phone is plenty bright enought for me to watch content on and enjoy it
For me it deserves 4 stars. LG G6 is more than sufficiently visible under direct sunlight.
It's pretty amazing to me that nobody other than Samsung has figured out oled for mobile screens. You know lg has been working on it for years, but for some reason they just can't mass produce it. Samsung has it mastered.
Actually LG isn't really starting to dabble in small OLED until next year.
As far as screen quality goes I saw a review stating measured 557 nits, as bright as the iPhone 7. Color accuracy was better than the iPhone and S7. Gamut was a little disappointing with 136% sRGB vs 197% for the S7. All in all a great display, probably the best LCD ever put in a phone.

i didnt know that... i guess i meant they are far, far ahead of anyone else in mobile oled displays
im very impressed with the lg g5's display. super bright, very rich in color. and crazy sharp.
It's summer season where I'm at and yesterday I was at the beach. Visibility is low in outdoor bright light.
Probably a weird question, but how is this phone when using with polarised sunglasses?
My Z2 turns to black in some angles in portrait mode and completely black in horizontal.
Cheers
I will have pretty good comparison. HTC 10 was having highest ppi and regarded as the best lCD display. However outdoor visibility was extremely bad. I am not sure but I think it is a characteristics of LCD display . One thing I notice that even for camera HTC 10 was relying on display. Whenever I was opening camera app the screen was automatically turning 100% bright and then comeback to normal after closing the app. It happen with third party camera app as well. I will report once I get G6.

Don't use auto brightness. Auto brightness is buggy in most devices. Try to do it manually.

You can see the display in all angles. Slightly worse with rainbow-effect in some angles, but still visible.
Anyone know how it compares with the LG V20 display?

Yes it may be buggy however according to http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-g6-review-752130/
the LG G6 display actually gets brighter than 100% when it is set to AUTO.
"Putting it through our testing, we found the display to have a max manual brightness of 556 nits, which is boosted to a very respectable 663 nits when auto brightness is engaged under direct light. In sunlight, this is likely to be even higher"
I have no way to test this myself. The display is just barely usable in direct sunlight. Better than my G3 though. I wish it was better in this regard since I use this as my motorcycle GPS sometimes.

Sorry for you but in the same condiction i see all very well and compared to my previous device (Samsung Galaxy s4, Redmi Note 2 and Lg G3) i think LG G6 is better of all of them, on automatic brightness too...

Do you use auto brightness and/or a screen protector? I guess some phones have brighter screens than others...

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.

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.
