I'm impressed with daylight visibility. 75% brightness is plenty.
My older Samsung Galaxy S5 is much brighter.

Just Excellent, even in full sunlight the screen remains legible. Very impressive compared to other phones I've used.
Any of you with a Note 5 been able to confirm the suggestion by some on YouTube that say the Note 5 is brighter than the S7/Edge?

I tend to find the auto-brightness is too bright in many situations, including outside under the noonday sun.

This is actually a perk that made me reconsider this over the HTC 10. The brightness outside is phenomenal on this device.
Despite the low-ish brightness output I'm pleasantly surprised with this
Superb here in sunny Los Angeles. My secondary is a Note3 with Phronesis Note7 MM port, and the "Outdoor Mode" in the Display settings is just ridiculous bright. I do notice the absence of this feature in stock S7 firmware. Fantastic nonetheless!!!
dreaded pink line down side of screen now becoming annoying

my note 5 seems brighter but both are very impressive in the sunlight
When I'm outdoor in extreme sunlight the phone's brightness goes all the way up and then it enters a mode where colours seems washed out. But only if the light is very strong. Does your S7 behave the same?

Of course, it is the extra brightness setting for bright sun readability
My S5 did it too
It's outstanding

interested to learn more about display's quality.owners please comment
Screen brightness is great even in Auto mode, visibility is great
Definitely, anyone with this phone, would you be willing to share your comments about the visibility of the phone under harsh tattoine like sunlight?
The Honor 8’s 5.2-inch FHD display with a 96% high color gamut (NTSC), color enhancement, and dynamic pixel-level contrast adjustment provides a better viewer experience, with vivid and crisp images making the screen easier to see during the day. The Eye-Care Mode makes looking at your phone at night more comfortable and safe by filtering part of the blue light to reduce eye strain. (NS)
Honor 8 display is just amazing, better than my old Samsung J5 and on par with many flagships.
Keep in mind that LTPS screens have advantage to other LCDs , due to the manufacturing process.
That means lower consumption and better sunlight visibility. I had phones with LTPS panels and they were all awesome!
Honestly I expected a little bit more. Don't get me wrong I can see the content however I feel that the brightness could be a bit more and the numbers (450-490 nit) says so. But overall it is better than most of its competition's
So much better than what i was used to, i could almost never see anything on my old phone (Acer Liquid E700) in the sunlight. Now i can read the screen just fine no matter what weather it is. Only thing that bothers me a little bit is that the auto brightness is a little to aggressive in dark environments, the screen gets to dark to my liking.
visible in bright sunlight and it isnt a problem to use phone
No issues, excellent outdoor visibility
Outdoor visibility is good only when full brightness is turn on.. but still had some phones evan then it was not visible..
Despite not being the brightest on the spec sheet, it beats the S6 in the sun. (which was 600 nit or somewhere along those lines)
Simply, it is very good.
It could be better, I compared it with O+3 which has better visibility on sun.
The specs and the real world performance put the readability in sunlight squarely in the "average" category. It will work in a pinch, but it's not the best available. It's also not the worst, so just keep your expectations reserved for average and you wont be disappointed.

Many phones are worse..
At least that was my experiance ..
I had many phones..
My last nexus 6 motorola was so bad that 100% brightness did not help to see in the sun at all
And the Honor 8 is the lets say second best phone in the sun I had
Better I only had the Samusung A5 2016..
So I would say.. yes there are better phones.. but Honor 8 is good enough to see in the sun..
BUT, to see you MUST have 100% brightness and that one discharges battery realy realy fast

I do not use auto brightness
Couse I have noticed when I set
Lets say 50% auto brightness its a bit dimmed
Couse if I set manually 50% it is bit brighter
Did not tried it outside and with 100% auto or manual
Couse I have it always manual
Will test a bit more then give you final opinion for my case
Will test it too though
I used it while high noon and no problems with visibility.
not the best or AMOLeD quality but still does very well. better than many out there. in normal condition brightness is sufficient, you may feel little uncomfortable in direct sunlight but we use it very less in such situations..so performs well and no complaint
The Honor 8 has a crazy crisp display. Just kidding, this is automated text so who knows if this screen is any good. So, you be the judge! A higher rating indicates that it's extremely sharp and clear, and that you cannot see pixels with your naked eye.

1080p really is more than enough for a 5.2 inch phone, higher resolution drains the battery faster too anyway. Only if you are into VR you can do with a higher res screen, all other applications i really don't see the benefit.
Never had an issue with the display. Isn't the most colour accurate panel I've seen, but still have a lovely appearance in my eyes
very good display on the phone
Excellent display
Display is really nice. Coming from a Note 4, I find the display to be descent. Only thing I would change is the brightness could be about 10-15% brighter. Other than that I knew it would be great for 1080p.
I like that it's really crisp and sharp.
I also like it better than the my old LG G2 & G3 screens and I thought both were awesome when they came out
The first time I powered this on, my eyes perked with delight.
display/screen is decent enough. when you see it you feel the real clarity. its good but still not comparable to AMOLED

Doesn't have the viewing angle of an S8 and the screen brightness isn't as bright but it wins hands down in all other screen areas.
Had a Note 4 before this phone. That had the best phone screen before the S8/Note 8 that's out now.
Had this phone for a month now and don't miss AMOLED

No other phone is better, 1000 nits definitely shows.
Agreed! Very bright outside!
Is the only way to achieve maximum brightness with the auto setting?
Simply beautiful no matter where you are.
best screen I have ever seen at noon sun blazing
Still can use my phone when under the big hot sun~
I always disable the auto brightness on any device I owned before, note 7 is the first device that I keep that on. It works flawlessly!!!
5second to dim down, 3 second to raise the brightness... Better than any device I owned before

It is the first smartphone that has no problem with the screen brightness even in the super sun.
Outside, just set Autio Brightness on max and the magic will happen into the sunlight.
I have Exynos version.

it's pretty dim, to be honest, i wish we had screen brightness like some of the older motorola phones did when android motorola was still for the cool kids instead of the soccer moms.
Best device ive used in direct sunlight. I work outdoors in the Texas heat and I have no problems seeing the screen.
10/10 for the display, its gorgeous.
Agreed, the brightness when in direct sunlight has much improved over the S9+. It's very usable on a bright sunny day
The display blows the note 9 outdoor usability - Florida sun.

I have S10+ and can't see anything while in my car or outside. The comments above saying it's so great make me think eventhough we have the same phones, that they are talking about a different phone. I think it's awful and now regretting my decision to get this phone because this drives me completely insane. Rating 2.
No problems her in crazy sunlight. Phone does get warm because of the max brightness and direct sunlight but still very clear to read.
Its excellent
Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
It works really well under sunlight and yeah the phone does heat up a bit but it's ok I can see and read well my screen
On max brightness it's bright. Inside it blinds the crap out of me. Outside I can see it pretty well.
Put it on adaptive brightness. I guess there's a limit to how bright we can manually set it versus how bright it gets automatically.. I played around with these settings myself and it does get brighter when you turn on adaptive brightness. Try it! I'm sure you'll like it better! Because I was thinking three same thing you said, house the hell are these people thinking it's great in the sunlight?! Way better with adaptive enabled!

You are CORRECT. This has been from the very start. Only adaptive brightness will give you the max potential of the brightness of s10+'s screen.
For s10+, high brightness mode is entered when sensor reads 40,000lux, and its exited when sensor reads below 8000lux (it used to be 5000lux but it must have been changed at some point). When sun hits the screen, screen is very visible and good. When you are outside but sun isnt on the screen, you can turn your phone towards sun to activate HBM, but it may exit once you turn it back to yourself.(quite annoying as manual max is very limiting at 300nits).
There is a HDR bug, only works on android 10, you can trick the phone to stay at HDR brightness(brightness is still adjustable all the way from 1.6nits to 700), so you can manually adjust it to max brightness(700nits) whenever you want. This is the reason im staying at android 10 lol. Had to downgrade from android 11. If bootloader version turns to 10(currently 9) you wont be able to downgrade(maybe with root you can, i dont know) so its good to consider doing it
Ive always auto brightness turned on,
after installing the UI3.1 , under a bright light, it doesn't go so bright...but under sun light, or in dqy light, its just brighter and its get sooo much better...,
It's like sensors understand where u r

I was on 3.1 for 2 3 months and it enters at 40.000lux just like 3.0, i doubt they increased the thereshold cuz its already too high.

Yeah that puts a lot of wear on the display fast.
Avoid using in direct sunlight or at least limit it to seconds.

Amoled's black crush is pretty much unavoidable in low brightness, I can notice it on mine but only when under 30% brightness and on a very dark screen, the only possible fix for this would be to have MicroLED.

Thanks for your response. This was mostly mitigated last year on the s9 using Screen Balance. I had hoped that Samsung would have included a fix for this now. It’s impossible to test this in the shop under the bright lights so I was curious... I didn’t think every single OLED suffered this but perhaps I was wrong. Thanks again for confirming.
