I would like to be able to dim it more also.
I actually kinda like its minimum brightness
minimum works fine for me i turn it down all the way when in bed at night and never hurts my eyes

Maybe I'm just spoiled from my galaxy note 4 since it would go both dimmer and brighter.. I mean it's not bad, I'm just used to dimmer, and wouldn't mind dimmer. but it's a mid-range device, not a flagship like the note 4 used to be ?*

I've read reviews that claim:
- Not as bright as the Note 5
- Just as bright as the Note 5
- As dim as the Nexus 6 (last years)
- Dim, but bright when adaptive brightness turned off.
So, anyone know for sure? A cd/m2 measurement would be great. The brightness of the original Nexus 6 was a big disappointment.

Friends on what you consider dim/bright to be.
Majority say no problem in bright sun, so it's "bright" enough.
There is an app for the Nexus 6 to blast the screen real bright when outdoors. I have not tried it, but I've read ppl like it. If the P is not bright enough I'm sure an app will be available for cranking the brightness up.
356 nits ....but im hoping it can be more based on many of the (almost as bright as note 5)
Nexus 6 was 270.....so much broghter than last year, but much dimmer than note 5.
By Much i mean 30% more than last year but 30% less than note 5.....
I think it should be fine. Nexus 5 is 400 but I have never turned it above 75% even outdoors. 356 would be at the high end but I have no worries about it.

Brightness seems to be pretty sad unfortunately :-/

Another thing we have to point out is its poor visibility outdoors when the sun is present – it washes out tremendously to the point that it’s unusable unless we shield it. Achieving a maximum luminance of 356 nits, it’s not as potent as the Nexus 5X mark of 487 nits, and nowhere close to the blinding 593 nits reached by the iPhone 6s Plus.

I heard you turn off adaptive brightness mode and the phone gets brighter, like it said above.
Wait this is less brighter than the LG G3.......and the LG G4 is the one I have and it's the darkest most uncomfortable handset to use with minimal sun.... wtf??? *cancels order* I'm just gonna wait for nexus I/O 2017 this is horrible... but I doesn't make sense why every reviewer says it's the brightest screen they've seen thus far....smh

You have to take into account that brightness isn't the only thing that matter for readability under very high ambient luminosity.
Screen reflectivity, contrast and color saturation are as important as brightness. And the LG G4 (like most of the LCD) is very reflective, not even close to an AMOLED in contrast and can't achieve the same saturation that what is possible with an AMOLED panel.
In fact, if you go read a GSMArena review, you will see that under direct sunlight, the G4 isfar less readable than a Motorola Nexus 6...
Reflectivity etc is important, I agree. But I am hoping that the nits readings are with the standard adaptive brightness etc on. The mid 300s isn't as great as I'd like, and is around the overall average.
Nevertheless, the UK winter is coming and sunlight readability becomes a moot point!
I agree that 350nits is average at best.
But the biggest problem, IMO, is that the display on the 6P seems to be not as close to the glass as the latest Samsung devices. This will lead to an higher reflectivity.

Thats a big problem IMO. The brightness level is pitiful. Why Google?
Anyone trying to defend the brightness is out of touch. The tests from a few posts
above is conclusive. I held off ordering to see if there were any things that would come up
in initial reviews. Battery life seems also to be hit and miss.

Very poor brightness
Just got the 6P. Don't like the brightness at all. Am coming from the G3 and it's really sad. The Galaxy S6 is awesome. I always keep the phone at max brightness. Damn the battery, I say. I thought initially that perhaps the adaptive brightness setting was enabled. But it's not.
On paper it's brighter than the Nexus 6. But looking at them side by side, I don't see it even remotely brighter.
I hope that it's not really a limitation in the hardware and can be increased with a software mod.
i just walked outside in california sun at 1:00pm. i can read texts just fine. might have hard time looking at dark images because well black is...not lit... but i rather have little dimmer screen to preserve battery life and plus less prone to burn-ins.

Well. That's sad to hear :/ I guess I'll stick with my $250 500+ cd/m2 Idol 3.
Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Huawei Mate 20'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.

I compared the Mate 20 Pro and Mate 20 screen, both in the same place and same time, with the screen of my LG G7 in the 3 minutes supermax brightness mode. Both huawei phones had the flash of my LG G7 directly pointed in the ambient/light sensor. I disagree with all the reviews I've seen. Everyone will the you the Mate 20 Pro has a "better" screen, but I doubt anyone has really compared them side by side outdoor. IMHO if you look for sunlight visibility, the Mate 20 and its RGBW screen is the one to get. The Mate 20 Pro screen was less bright than my G7, although it was beautiful and the color was very stable from every angle thanks to the AMOLED screen. The Mate 20 was indeed brighter than my LG G7 (remember I was in the in the 3 minutes 1000+ NITS mode), so I guess that must be one of the brightest screen ever made to date. I'm writing to inform anyone and to ask owners of the mate 20 to test the max brightness of their phones. Does it shut off after 3 minutes as my LG or is it usable for few hours outside? That's a very important factor to me, and I couldn't test the phones as much as I would as my time was limited. Thanks to anyone sharing their comments.

Everything's good, including MIUI Great phone in its price range
Pros.: - Battery life is awesome, design, screen quality is fine, screen size, speed is normal, clean android 9.0 pie, speaker is loud, dedicated slot, google camera, main camera with HDR and AI, notification light
Cons.: - cameras are waste, speaker is not clean at max, heavy 180g, Min brightness should be lower
Good price, good performance.
Great hardware for the price, but it takes a lot of time to turn off all the MIUI bs.
I don't like miui
I like everything except PPI

No word on the visibility outdoors? I'm trying to choose between a Realme 6 pro or a Redmi Note 9 Pro, and visibility in direct sunlight is a big factor. From what I've read and seen Realme's display is quite dim. How does the Redmi Note 9 Pro compare?
No problems at all,best phone I've had for screen brightness in sunlight.....I'm talking about the 9S btw
The brightness is very good in my opinion. Complete visible in direct sun light.

No problem with outdoors here. I had to choose between the 2 too and took 2 pieces of the Note 9 Pro instead of the Realme 6 Pro. Yes, I bought 2...

Thanks guys, makes the choice alot easier for me.
Any preference for the tianma vs huaxing panel? I've read the gsmarena and notebookcheck reviews with panel measurements. There are some noticeable differences in black value, contrast and color accuracy between them. They don't list the panel manufacturers though.
Brightness in sulight very good

Which one is better? And why are there two different types of panels in the same device?
I'm thinking of buying this device and have heard tianma panels aren't good. What should i do?
Very good I think it's around 600nits when using auto brightness.

I don't know about Note 9 Pro, but mine is Note 8 which has tianma panel.
I've been using it for 6 months. 15% brightness indoor and 75% brightness outdoor but I spend most of the time indoor. I can tell you, there is a slight ghosting on my screen now.

Good so far.
I'm going from an A71 (gave it to the girlfriend) to this M51 it's basically the same phone with a bigger battery minus some software.
So far I prefer it, but there are 2 things i miss the sidE panel and the smart select for cropping picks.
And it's weird i didn't like them at first on my A71 but it grew on me.
Other than that We'll see how this works out for me.
I also have an A71 and thinking about getting the M51 once it's a bit cheaper on amazon.de. I assume the M51 fingerprint sensor will be massively more reliable. Is it the case?

i can confirm that the fingerprint sensor is much more reliable
but i still keep pressing the screen out of habit.... it will be a while before i train myself.
