Outdoor visibility (max brightness)

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the HTC U11+'s display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

How can this screen support HDR with less than 500 nits... lmao

 

[danieljcf]

The u11+ screen is different from the u11. We don't know how many nits it has.

 

[Knox316]

It wont sell on this price tag

 

[johanruda]

According to the GSMArena test (third page), the screen tops out at 300 nits...

This is disappointing and epic tragic result if that true to all htc u11 plus device when release.
I will return it immediately back to HTC.

I can’t imagine HTC made such epic fail flagships device ever.

Hope review unit of gsmarena was faulty.

And even battery life is completely disaster and totally unacceptable for almost 4000 battery capacity.

It’s lower than all device out there with 3000 it’s even worse than 2700 battery capacity of Sony XZ1.

Total unbelievable and frustrating.

That’s believed from beginning.
Total crap review from GSM with faulty device.

They didn’t even had retail box of the device instead he showed us from the regular HTC U11.

GSM should have known it`s a defective unit& redo the test before posting the review. How come only they get subpar battery life results on U11+ while others report great battery life and a nice screen?
Personally, I think it`s important to get a review right the first time especially it is quite a reputable site.

I wouldn't be so sure, it could be that HTC are having trouble with the new LCD6 display.

Well until now only GSM is writing the worst things.
All the other reviewers like those Android central not mention such issues with both battery life and screen quality.

Also all user here at XDA having the device are very pleased with overall quality and performance on the U11 plus.

Android central said that the battery life provided between 4 and 7 hours of screen on time which isn't very impressive.

 

[paatha13]

4 to 7 hours SOT is very good battery life.
I imagine the 4 hours SOT is with LTE most of the case and high brightness level and 7 hours with most WiFi and lower brightness lever for example 40-50%

With my Galaxy S8 plus that’s the SOT I get so as I can see HTC has the same behavior and no problem.

Now I’m having one week now Huawei P10 and having 5 hours SOT per day mixed WiFi-LTE usage.

So judging from that the battery life for HTC is above average and on par with my previous S8 plus and current P10.

Heh I've heard it all now

 

[Cherry_Blue]

Heh I've heard it all now

My point with that statement is that a key feature of the phone is a HUGE battery which comes at the cost of weight. Now if this extra 30g of unwanted weight isn't able to provide more battery life than say the LG v30 then it seems really quite bad.
