Really bright and vivid screen. Super shiny though so at times it can be hard to see the screen because of the reflections.
No viewing issues till date as the screen does crank up very high outdoors.
Outdoor visibility is great especially with Samsung their contrast that changes when it notices your in a bright lit area
These days i'm on the beach and the max brightness kicks in for ~2min from standby then it returns to normal brightness and i struggle to see on the screen. Thats in direct sunlight. I dont know why and how to enable to max when in sunlight.its very disappointing. Its from the heat? I use auto brightness and max brightness kicks in for a couple of min but then it dims and i cant use it . When i adjust the bar it says optimised for sun visibility. But it clearly isnt. All this in normal use.browsing ,some photos,whatsapp...
So for me its disapointing. This is when i need the max brightness most and it let me down
Been using the phone for over a year now in a Tropical Country and even in direct sunlight I have absolutely no issues with the brightness. The phone automatically cranks the display upto it's full potential when it senses a bright environment. Really can't expect it to be any better.

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

Poor like on a sunny day you can't see what's in the view finder for the camera app? Cause I've never experienced that and I'm with Adaptive Brightness on 35%. It could be brighter but definitely not poor.

The display is so bright outside that it is a bit too bright. I sat under a beach umbrella in the shade and wanted to push the slider back to 80% but he went back to 100%. I tried it 3 times but the slider did not stay there. then I had to turn off the automatic brightness.
I give 5 stars, because I did not have such a bright screen yet.
No worries that I could not see anything on my mobile phone in the sunlight.
I would wish that the slider remains at 80% if I push it there manually.
If you are coming from LCD you notice straight away how vibrant and bright the colors are. No problems whatsoever (even with sunglasses on).
Mi9-the best phone on the market!

I think it's a bit too low, fortunately on MIUI the auto contrast feature helps a lot

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.

Turn on auto brightness, S10e display is much brighter and less reflective than Mate 9...
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

Outdoor visibility is not very good. Even at maximum brightness you will find yourself focusing your eyes to read what's on the screen.
Has anyone measured the nits for this phone?
on gsm arena there is a review with technical data.....447 nits
Bad outdoor visibility
You will noticed the screen is soo bad under outdoor situation.
I'm not sure with other people's experience but my phone's display is SO VERY BAD. Its very difficult to see the screen under direct sun light.
Mine also same. Very bad to see under direct sun light.
Hey ! I have the realme xt now for 3 days and I would like to add my review about that subject.
Since I use it, I've founded the outdoor visibility very awful, even in max brightness. I had to hardly focus on the screen to be able to read something... I come from a redmi note 7, and I begun to wonder if I did the good choice...
So I wanted to find out why the screen was so bad, when I realized that the battery saving mode was on ! And as soon as I turned it off, the screen came back to a normal brightness. Now when I compare it to my redmi note 7, the realme xt brightness is slightly better !!
It's pretty stupid, but maybe my message can help.
So now I don't find that the outdoor visibility is as bad as some people here are saying. Depending on which phone you compare maybe...
And for the price the phone is awesome by the way !
