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'm concerned about readability in sunlight.
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...
