Hi to everyone, is it possible to change always-on brightness of the display? It's almost unreadable under the sun. I tried to switch from automatic to manual brightness but it affects only the level when you touch the screen. It seems to me the Samsung Gear S3 is brighter under the sun in always-on mode.
What do you suggest?
Your amoled will get burn very fast if you can really do this.
The Samsung Gear S3 is amoled too but it's brighter under the sun...

Officially from Samsung I read the display gets up to like 800 nits but all these review say it's a little less bright than the S6. What's going on?
It all depends on how you test. AMOLED displays are funny in that they can get MUCH brighter if only a small portion of the screen is lit up. For example, if the entire screen is showing white, the max brightness will only be around 500 nits, but if the screen is mostly black with just a small white dot in the center, the brightness of that dot can probably get up to around 800 nits. To further complicate matters, the maximum brightness will be much lower if you turn off auto brightness because Samsung phones will only use their maximum brightness in auto mode. That's because the maximum brightness they can achieve in auto mode would wear out the display very quickly if Samsung let users set it at that all the time in manual brightness mode, so Samsung only uses it for limited periods of time when out in sunlight in auto mode.
Yeah I'm familiar with the auto brightness from the S6. That's insane though that Samsung advertises it as around 800 nits if what you say is true
It's bright, very bright, even in direct sunlight.
It's the first amoled that I found bright enough to be used in sunlight.. My last amoled was note4
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.
Hello everyone! I want to show you my outdoor video of screen sunlight visibility comparison test between Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and other Galaxies. I hope you will enjoy my video!!!

The S7e is the first phone I've owned that I don't have to struggle to see in daylight. Although it's still a challenge with sunglasses on.
I agree with you, the phone display is on sunlight (how can be see in video) really sharp and visible.
I noted that when I turn on the screen I a low light environment, it has a fade before the screen completely turn on, like a fade effect. I did some tries and this happen only in low light condition. Is this normal? Under sun light it is very clear and when I turn on the screen it is bright in no time, without any fade effect.
Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
The s7 has a very bright screen u ... its a bit annoying in the dark even with having at the lowest settings but ok
Z6 Has a 600 nit screen brightness, my current S8+ has 1000.
Do you think this display is going to get bright enough when we need it?

Should be. Those AMOLED brightness figures are a bit misleading. AMOLED brightness depends on what's on your screen. The more white, the less bright it is. A lot of the screen needs to be dark to hit 1000 nits. If you're browsing the web you're likely in the 600 nits territory on your S8. Perhaps even less.

You cannot trigger the display brightness to be that bright. That's auto brightness and in direct sunlight. So in other words, unless you sit outside in direct sun. You'll never see 1020nits.
Read below.
The Galaxy S8 is 5 to 10 percent Brighter than the Galaxy S7, and up to 19% Brighter in High Ambient Light with Automatic Brightness. For most image content the Galaxy S8 provides over 460 cd/m2 (Luminance, which is a measure of Brightness sometimes called nits), comparable or higher than most LCD displays in this size class. The measured Brightness on the Home screen is even higher at over 525 nits. When the display Brightness is set Manually with the slider, it can be adjusted to reach a maximum screen Brightness of up to 610 nits, which is impressive. See the Screen Brightness section for the measurements and details
So ideally, slide the slider all the way up on your brightness. That's essentially the Asus screen.
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.
