I'm coming from Nexus 6 which in my opinion had a very good minimum brightness. I used it for nighttime reading a lot because of this. My Pixel XL is definitely brighter on minimum brightnes than my Nexus 6, which is disappointing, but I can live with this. There are other features that are more important to me.

There are overlays that will dim the screen also.

Night light is really helpful in dimming the harsh blue light.

I agree, but I would really like to have a lower minimum brightness on this without rooting.
Minimum brightness is too bright imo.

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Huawei Nexus 6P'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.

Gets really bright, not as bright as Note5.
It may not be the very best according to some but I can perfectly see the screen without having to cover the phone from the sun while wearing my polarized sun glasses. This is with adaptive display turned on.

No complaints... Better than I expected after reading some reviews
Yes
yes it has a gr8 screen
Really struggle compared to previous phones.
I have htc m8
..I see this one better and it's sunny at the moment of writing this. I guess if you're coming from a Samsung s6

Not overly bothered either way, comparison was against an S5 which I thought was marginally better.

When I got my 6p, my screen was a, sort of, two-tone. A light pink hue in the top left of my screen, that faded diagonally, to a bottom right, bluer hue. I was about to rma, even called Huawei. (Let's hope no one has to go through them) I thought it may be the back light calibration. So I downloaded lux, and voila, my colors were evenly distributed across my screen. And in turn, added a lil brightness outdoors. I turned lux off and my calibration is correct now. My screen, to me, looks a lil richer now and is pretty impressive. I'm coming from the Note 4 too.

Better than the N6 when viewing in the sunlight...
Nice screen. Still prefer Note 5 screen.
it bright enough for me. I can see the screen in full daylight fine.
Coming from a Galaxy S4, the 6P gets More brighter, and More dimmer than the S4. Was not expecting this great of a screen after reading all the posts. Unlike the S4, your eyes wont hurt when you wanna read something in bed with the lights off!
readability
I know this is the wrong place to ask but does anybody has som feeling how the display is compared to Iphone 6 Plus in brightness outdoors?

Totally can relate. I came from an S4 and I noticed the brightness difference immediately.

same here! love this phone.
I feel like I'm doing something wrong, because my experience has been the complete opposite of what everyone is saying here. The screen is fine indoors or out of direct sunlight, but in direct sunlight it's crazy hard to see. I have adaptive brightness off, and the brightness setting cranked. Just prior to this phone I'd tried out the Moto X Style, and while every review I read knocked that phone for its display, I feel like outdoor viewing was significantly better, and it didn't have any of the blotchy/uneven/pink hued issues that amoleds apparently have.
Outdoor visibility is extremely poor. Worse than my Nexus 5
Also really poor sunlight visibility here. RMA?
Adaptive Brightness
My 6p is bright enough for outside, but I have to be careful not to cover the sensor or the adaptive brightness will dim the screen.

dislike the orange color though...too high
Damn. I'm colorblind. I guess I'll disregard
The contrast is so high (when not in rgb mode) that it's almost unbearable to look at (for fussy people like me).
Unfortunately the rgb mode seems to dull things a bit too much...would be nice to have something in between.
Similar to the Nexus 6 I felt the display was too warm so I was very happy to install a kernel to make adjustments.

With the display set to sRGB mode (developer settings), images compare very closely to my calibrated laptop.
sRGB looks very accurate.
White is a bit warm/yellowish in comparison to another 6P.

I did a re install of the factory image and sRGB got checked during setting things back up on accident and I thought the factory image messed it up lol. Then I read this and turned it off. Much better.
By default it's too saturated, like the older Samsung AMOLEDs. sRGB is a bit too bland and blue but better.
Once I rooted and installed a custom kernel, I specifically reduced only saturation and now the panel is great.
I have a Nexus 4 as well.
In Nexus 4, the white is really white. But in Nexus 6P, the white is yellowish/pinkish(and it is really bothering me). Is it just my display or is it the case with everyone?
P.S. The black is really black though and the other colours seem to be fine.

I recently bought Nexus 6P. The color saturation was perfect initially. After I tried the color inversion once, the saturation has got high. I tried fixing it through SRGB but the saturation gets too low. Not able to find a middle ground. Please help. Thanks in advance.
the only downside
display is old amoled
bad screen
i had zte z11 max
it has better screen
Yeah the Amoled panel in this phone is not good at all. However it gets tolerable with a custom kernel and color adjustments. This isn't a color accurate screen in any way. My Honor 8 and XA Ultra has way better screens even though they are LCD.

With a custom kernel like ElementalX, and with the good adjustments you got one of the best screens.

Apparently the color accuracy is meh when you use the default mode.
However, if you use the sRGB mode in developer options, the color accuracy is top notch according to this review. http://www.techspot.com/review/1265-google-pixel-xl/page2.html
In my testing with the Pixel XL in its sRGB mode, this display is the most accurate I have seen. In my punishing custom CALMAN 5 accuracy test, the Pixel XL recorded an astonishing dE2000 value of 1.18, which indicates near-perfect color performance. The Pixel XL also reported near-perfect grayscale accuracy and spot-on gamma.
Not everything about this display is perfect. The sRGB mode tints the display slightly yellow (6333K), so the overall color temperature is not ideal (6504K) and this is noticeable in photos with a lot of white. The total gamut isn’t quite sRGB either, and falls somewhat short in blues and reds for total coverage of 92.8%. This only affects top-end saturation as color accuracy is fantastic through the mid-tones.

Me too, even though I use hardware calibration on my work monitor. sRGB may be accurate, but it sure made my photos and web content look dull...
I'm also trying to get used to using "night" mode auto where there are less blues after sundown. It's generally decent, but I'm glad there is a quick toggle for it when viewing version content...
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
One of the reviews said the sRGB mode actually does not provide 100% sRGB gamut. It was more like 95% sRGB I believe. That might explain why it looks duller, while the default mode has a wider than sRGB gamut.
Has anyone who had a Nexus 6P noticed any of the screen color issues on the Pixel? Referring to the half-pink half-yellow hues on the screen and whatnot
http://www.anandtech.com/show/10753/the-google-pixel-xl-review/3
Anandtech posted their review. Looks like the display is default calibrated to NTSC for some odd reason and the sRGB mode is good but not great.

Thanks for posting this. I was initially going for this, ignoring the price and all, but that display calibration at that price point is simply not acceptable for me. And the camera in low light is not as good as Google claims either. This is saddening for me.
I looked at some display models in the new Google Shop at Best Buy Canada. Wasn't really impressed with the displays. Since there were multiple demo units, it became obvious they're indeed lower binned AMOLED. Some were greenish and some were reddish. Wasn't really impressed with the default screen calibration either, and since the developer options were disabled I could not check the sRGB mode out.
I know this thread is old, but I was wondering if any reviewers have retested Pixel color accuracy since Google changed specs from 100% NTSC to 95% DCI-P3?
I love the sRGB mode. Apparently Google removed it in the 8.1 dev preview.

I recently purchased a pixel XL few days ago I was coming from a moto g5 plus. What I find about this awesome screen is how vibrant it is. Only thing that gets me is when battery saver mode is activated its to harsh on the color of the top and bottom red strips.??
Almost perfect. Only the new Galaxy phones have way nicer displays. But this is already in top 10, I'd say.

My brightness is so much brighter than my S8 and my Note 8.
The S10e screen is phenomenal in the sun compared to those
Turn on the auto brightness so it can hit the maximum.
Change the color for the display to Vivid instead of Natural if outdoors because it has a wider color gamut and will show better.
I prefer natural but if I need to read outdoors I change it. You can notice it on the boosted auto brightness max.

I am considering getting one of these so this is good to know.
The auto brightness outdoors works relatively well. It just might be my phone or my eyes, but it appears more orange/red when it's on full auto-brightness
Absolute no issues with display quality
