Hi, with only 400 nits to play with at max brightness this screen was a major disapointment to me in sunlight especially as I use it with my drone, is there any way to eak any more brightness out of this, slider is on max.

I just bought a white SGS2 today for my wife. When I placed her SGS2 side by side with mine, I noticed that the brightness level is at least 2 step below mine. Eg, at the lowest level, hers is very much darker than my SGS2 set to the lowest level.
As a result, I cannot set the brightness to auto as it makes it very difficult to read in low light conditions when it sets to the lowest level, ie it is too dark.
Anyone with the same problem? Or anyone knows if I can change the brightness scale to be brighter?
Edit: Forgot to say that both SGS2 are running on the same ROM and kernel as per my signature.
Hi! I'll be using an android tablet as an instrument display in my truck, so I'm concerned about readability in sunlight. How is this tablet compared to other Android tablets? Has anyone compared it directly to the Samsung Tab S 10.5? I've read in some reviews that max brightness can only be achieved in "auto brightness", they claim manual adjustment limits brightness. Any experience with that? Also, do third party auto brightness apps manage to activate full brightness?
Thanks!

I used it already in full sunlight. It's great! Its really useable. The glossy surface is a disadvantage but it's not a problem. I'm planning to add a anti-glare screen protector but it's not a must have if you want to use it outside.
My Tablet Z was already useable outdoors but the Z4 is way better.
I cannot see any difference in max brightness between auto and manual brightness setting (28.0.A.6.8). Fortunately it's going up to max level even on auto brightness. Sadly not every manufacturer is able to "implement" this...
Thanks!
I'm hoping to hear a sunlight comparison between this and the Samsung Tab S 10.5 too!
Is there a way (an app or tweak) to increase the maximum screen brightness on this device?
I had many devices, but this one with its form factor and custom ROM support is just a near perfect phone for me. Screen brightness on the other hand is one of its flaws. My s7 edge destroys it outside in the sunlight
I was always curious about this. Is there a way to force the device, at will, to use the automatic high dynamic brightness?
I’m not complaining about the brightness of Samsung panels, but the one thing I never could get adjusted with is how whites with APL that’s over 80% look; they’re under 400 cm/nits of brightness on the maximum manual brightness settings. The iPhone X’s OLED display doesn’t have this issue, achieving over 620 cm/nits on max manual brightness.
With the automatic brightness boost from high ambient lighting, the high APL whites being displayed on the S9 match that figure over the iPhone X. Is there a root or at least a theoretical method to get that brightness setting at all, rather than under situational conditions?

I don't know to be honest, but even the Galaxy S6 back then had that boost, so maybe you should search for a method for the s6 / s7 / s8 first to be sure it is possible.

Hi, I just bought this smartphone and I saw that in the minimum brightness with dark theme, both displays have bad uniformity.
This also happens to you?
