How bright is outdoors and how good is auto brightness?
Max brightness outdoors and auto brightness was trash on OnePlus 6 (always too low) but it's been great in S8, Note 8, S9+, Note 9, etc.
anyone has the phone yet?
There's a review section that I'm sure will be full of information about this topic in due course. I'd keep an eye out there if not answered here. I'll likely be upgrading to this phone and may be able to answer for you shortly.

The screen is superb in all conditions. I think that's more impressive that note 9.

Amazing to hear that!
Does it have the outdoors mode that change contrast to improve visibility and cranks the brightness up to higher levels that can be achieved adjusting slider manually?
On the note 9 and other smartphoned that mode turns on automatically when you're under the sun. Oneplus 6 didn't have it and I hated so much

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the honor 5X'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.

The Honor 5X screen has excellent viewing capabilities outside. Along with a pretty good brightness it also changes the contrast when it detects a lot of light falling upon the frontside. The combination of these two make it quite easy to use in sunlight. Of course the glare might be in the way but then just rotate the phone slightly so that you don't reflect the sun in your eyes...
Screen looks good outdoor with Max brightness. The performance is also good in the dark with minimum brightness settings.

Hello pank.dhnd,
Our developers worked tirelessly to put a great screen on the Honor 5X and we're glad you're having a great experience viewing things in bright and dark areas. Thank you for choosing the Honor 5X. (ED)
autobrightness taking time... But good..
To be fair, no phone meets the might of straight floridian sun beaming down leaving no room for vision. This phone is no different. My iphone 6 is on the same level as this phone. I cant see much out.

LOL...the reflection alone is enough ta' blind ye...
Joking aside, the Honor 5x does well outside, even though the Autobrightness setting is a little slow to compensate (can take a second to recognize it's inside a dark room or outside in full sun). Outside of that it is comparable with many flagship phones over the last couple years in that regard.
I would rate it poor outside in Thai sun with or without auto brightness, iphone 5 onward does little better when I compared .
good enough
AUTO brightness takes time to adjust but if you set brightness mutually then everything will be alright i mean its quite good
Very bright
Good enough, sometimes auto brightness does not work
Good enough. Not too hard to read outdoors.
Great for its price. Easily readable screen
Its one year later, summer 2017 though I love my L24 the display is crappy outside though I turned auto brighten off. I snap alot of wildreness pics out walking, my old iPhone 5c has better outdoor display sadly.

Max brightness helps in readability but not too much. Expected for a midrange device.
Screen readability -- good .
I hope u mean about brightness gopal. That would be a typo

Outdoor visibility is only so-so. I can see, but I wish it can be even brighter.
It's sufficiently bright for outdoors on the max brightness.

Display has very good colour reproduction and imo a very deep black for a lcd. Overall excellent screen, with wide viewing angles.
There's an option in developer options "Increase readability under sunlight"
People should check it out.

This was checked automatically when I enabled Developer mode, maybe thats why I didnt find it that difficult to view screen while outside.

It's not the best but it's not worst in anyway. I have seen worse than this.
Sent from my Honor 8 pro using Tapatalk
Yeah. Not worst. My comments came out of frustration. But, for a phone with 2K display and 30K price, this should have been better. I face lot of readability problems outdoors/under sunlight.
Since it's an IPS display you shouldn't expect the same outdoor visibility that you would get with AMOLED displays.
2K display shines here.
Performed Very good in outdoor contions.
Ok with the reading under sun.
for regular condition it works fine but under direct sunlight, it is difficult to read the screen.
it performs really good in outdoor.no problem
having no problem is using in direct sunlight.
100% visible outside.
You should try opening camera under sunlight to find actual readability. It worst than any other phone
It's kind of difficult in direct sunlight
I have only one problem with the Honor 8 Pro and it is it's display brightness. I do not expect OLED levels of brightness from the screen but a little more output would be helpful.
In direct sunlight it is almost impossible for me to see anything. Yes my outdoor visibility more is turned on. No doubt that under some circumstances it is possible to see clearly outdoors but sometimes, especially when keeping it side by side with another device it's simply disappointing.
Coming to the pros of the display, the 2k resolution and the IPS functionality gives this phone super accurate colors and wide viewing angles.

Apart from what I saw in video reviews the odor visibility is surprisingly good. I live where we have sun most of the day and temperatures are high (30c+) and I still can operate the phone even in direct sun light.
Is it really that bad outdoors as people say?

Not at all..
Trust me contrast ratio makes up for it and is not half bad.
I can totally see it in bright days with the Sun shining to it's glory.
In oreo with 25% of display brightness it was brighter than pie

Yeah Pie the brightness is very dim compared to Oreo
After the Pie update the Brightness its not bright anymore
Same here. To get the 30% brightness I had on Oreo, I have to go for 70% brightness on Pie. It feels awful
Adaptive brightness
I expected with the release of pie the auto brightness to be fixed . It is better than before but man not useful at all. Mostly keeps dimming the screen and makes it difficult to see. Also when i use slider and increase it, dims again after few seconds. What is the use of adaptive brightness then if it can`t understand my needs.

If you have polarised sun glasses and you want to use navigation with your phone... it is not possible. You cannot see the phone display with polarised sunglases!

Most Samsungs over the last few years have been up over 800 lumens for me, but this doesn't quite reach 600. It surprises me as it seems very bright. Does anyone else measure the lumens?
Is it brighter than note 8?
Not as bright as my N8. The auto brightness is broken, I think.
My autobrightness works well on my note 9. I don't see much difference in max brightness when in auto mode outside between the Note 9 and note 8 though. When not using autobrightness, having both phones at max, the Note 9 is slightly brighter and slightly whiter IMO.
FWIW, displaymate has rated the Note 9 brightest, most accurate, best display ever. Just like they did with the Note 8 last year, S9 this spring.... Sammy always makes the best displays, and currently the Note 9 has the best display available on any phone.

Nope. I think it's a software bug, when toggling between camera and phone sometimes the phone brightness will be brighter than before.

I think when its in manual mode, you dont get access to the full range of brightness, only after putting it into autobrightness mode. Perhaps Samsungs way of not letting the phone get too hot and igniting like the Note 7?

Its normal, all phone manufacturers do that.
This is because an automatic brightness will be able to increase brightness if it is needed for a short time (like when you are outside in the sun and use it for a few minutes) but it wears out the battery and screen so it needs to cut back after a little while. when you are on manual, the phone cannot regulate so the maximum they can allow has to be a safe level. Most phones also dim brightness when you play a graphics heavy game since temperature is death for your battery. its like thermothrottling for CPU. Totally normal and necessary. otherwise people would complain why their battery capacity is down to 70% after 6 months.
Good visibility but i prefer to have the full control of the max brightness without auto mode
Has anyone else had problems with the screen outdoors on a bright day and/or found any setting tweaks to make the outdoor screen visible?
Do you have automatic mode activated?

Yes it's on
My screen is visible even on a bright day.
I guess your setting is wrong or your device is defective.

I have put on a cheap screen protector, and during bright days, it is not the screen problem but the reflection from the screen protector.
Once i removed the screen protector(or get a very good screen protector), the display works perfectly!
I've no problem with brightness even in harsh California summer. Screen has good visibility when auto brightness cranks it to max brighteness outdoors. It's not as bright as my Galaxy S8 AMOLED panel though.
Put automatic brightness
