Hi,
I like a 500 nit screen, which all say the S7 has...it's just not available manually. You must be in sunlight.
How do I unlock this feature?
Reason is that the S7 screen is dim compared to iPhone at max brightness. I've looked at several S7s in store to confirm.
Thanks
I would also like to know if this is possible
it dim compared to the s6 as well. I got both phones and noticed this. probably why the battery last longer well one of the reasons

My galaxy s7 screen is brighter then my galaxy s6 screen. The s7 has also a nice white tint compared to s6. With the same color settings of course.
You can't and that's for a good reason as having the screen set to max brightness for too long will cause burn in and other damage to the screen. Just set it to auto because there is no need for anyone to use the sunlight setting in normal conditions.

My S7 is much brighter than my S6 too.
Does anyone know how to disable the max brightness? It bothers me as it keeps changing when I'm outside and the default max brightness is more then enough where I live.
Thanks.

Even with the same background wallpaper, display mode, the s6 edge seems to be slightly darker (the choice of colours). This is easily seen in the orange colours of within the messaging app, when you compare both side by side.
This difference exists even when both are set to 100% or both to auto (mainly because I read that they both have difference max brightness).
Thoughts?

The screens on the S6 and the edge are actually not identical, so there are some slight variances between them.
Ok I tried a search first no results I remember my note 7 being extremely bright I could wear my sunglasses and being outside or in a dark tinted car with glasses on and being able to see the screen perfectly I don't think my s8 plus is as bright also my white color on the screen isnt bright white or as white as I remember on my note 7 . I did try adjusting the colors no luck. And adjusting the settings it's on adaptive which I like the best but not as good as I remember. Maybe it's my gpel screen protector? Or maybe it's software built in to help this larger screen with battery life ? I believe this isn't the same screen type as the note 7. Or I'm just crazy lol the bright screen was a huge selling point for me since I live in the sunniest place on earth

You live in Yuma AZ?
Dumb question, auto brightness enabled or disabled? Reason being, the auto allows a threshold of nit output higher than ever going to the slider to 100% yourself.

Yes Yuma yes I leave it on auto I also thought my N7 did better at auto adjusting
First thing i noticed upon setup.I tried messing with all display settings.Note 10 is supposedly one of the brightest display's on the market even more so than a xs max or a s10+.Do i have a defective unit? anyone else feel like their max brightness is low?

Agree.,,my OP7pro is brighter than my note10plus. This along with the issues of signal, is a deal breaker for me.
My note 9 was as well I tried all sorts to see why but I managed to sort it out by switching on performance mode and setting blue light filter on and to the lowest setting
Now the note 10 plus is brighter then my note 9 but in video the note 10 is not as vivid and bright I think it's due to the note 10 been more color accurate and them eliminating a lot of the blue light
But I think it does get bright just more in direct sunlight
Ok so i tested the v40, s9+ and note 10 all on the same youtube hdr video. s9+ and note10 on vivid, note 10 is definitely the brightest of the three.so the display is not faulty, its capable but you cannot go the high brightness manually. probably because of potential oled burn in warranty problems , samsung has capped the brightness under normal conditions. Also i noticed, if turn the screen temp to cool it looks a bit brighter. I read somewhere Samsung reduced blue light from their display starting with the s10. Might be why display appears to be dimmer. Wish it wasn't capped at the very least. you pay 1k for a flagship phone and samsung does this smh.
Have had the Note 20 Ultra from T-Mobile since Wednesday and then phones been be great except for two flaws. One is native gestures still not working 100% smooth with third party launchers - which is okay, I am using FNG anyway, but another is the screen brightness.
Despite being in direct sunlight, the panel doesn't get bright. Samsung claims 1500 nits of brightness, it definitely doesn't get there through either manually sliding the brightness or setting it to auto brightness. Definitely isn't as bright as my OnePlus 8 Pro.
I've annoyingly factory reset the phone to no avail. Anyone else having issues?
Yes, it's not great .... my Note 8 is brighter in normal use.
The panel does get brighter in strong daylight but the maximum manual brightness is poor.

It is some kind of protection bec extra brightness for long time damage Amoled displays so they decided to limit it in normal usage
It's bright but the white point is um, weird.
Reminds me of the Surface Pro IPS panels, always, always, too green!
And the ability to adjust RGB levels has nary an effect!
I want the ability to calibrate the display properly FFS!
I know it's a decent display but gimping the calibration ability makes about as much sense as putting bias ply tires on a Ferrari!

If you read what samsung say about its Dynamic Amoled panels you will understand why the white looks weird , they have implemented a Hardware blue light filter which filters the harmful blue light emissions that is why all new samsung displays show white a llitle yellowish , It might not be the best looking but is is safe for your eyes and renders a more accurate colors.

What's the point of having that?
It's clearly inferior to my professional displays.
Proper calibration and white point is *everything*.
It does NOT look yellowish, it has too much green.
That looks horrible.
After using it for a day I cannot believe how much better my Mac, 11 Pro Max and S20 Ultra looks.
Can you please tell me if the screen isn't bright if adaptive mode is turned off? (120hz)

Yeah, that is what someone pointed out. Thanks
Compared to the Note 10+ it's significantly brighter even in 120Hz, and I often need to lower it even with the adaptive brightness on.
It's somewhere around 1/5 or 1/6th of the brightness bar.
So yesterday my N20 Ultra arrived from wondamobile (highly recommended, everything went smooth), and I'm quite happy.
I do have 2 questions though:
- Is the back really made of glass? Everyone says it is, but it feels completely different from my Oneplus 7 pro (and yes, I know for certain I don't have the non-ultra). The glass on my Oneplus feels cool to the touch, while the note doesn't. It also sounds different when you tap them with your nails.
- I heard this phone had the highest peak brightness of any screen. On the highest non-adaptive setting my Oneplus 7 Pro gets much brighter. Is this just Samsung limiting the max brightness, or is this a random difference in panel quality or something? I saw Lew from Unbox therapy also had potentially related questions about the display.
I made a return of my N9860 256gb. Compared to Note 9, theNote 20 ultra's brightness sucks! I order a new 512gb model. I hope will get luck with last one
These displays should be able to get very bright...

Firmware glitch it sounds like... bad Samsung
It isn't a Hardware fault. Samsung limited the manual max brightness limit to be like that , so you only get the full brightness in adaptive brightness mode under direct sunlight

So can you manually jack it up?
I never use adaptive brightness, lol it never worked right and still doesn't.
I don't want to kill my OLEDs or my eyes so typically it's at about the half way point or less on the 10+
The 20 U gets even brighter...
Using these devices in the sun is sort of asking for it.
