Outdoor visibility (max brightness)

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Samsung Galaxy S7'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!

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?

Shine a torch at the light sensor and it'll do the same

Yes, i know, i tried and you are right: it does the same. But is this normal? Does yours do the same?

Of course, it is the extra brightness setting for bright sun readability

My S5 did it too

It's outstanding
