So far my outside use of the phone has been good
It's fine, its not the brightest screen on the market. But fine for normal use.
My S20 FE 5G is really less bright outdoors than my Oneplus 8T
I was hoping this phone would be bright enough for outdoor use, but its just as crap as my S7.
Brutal compared to my previous Note 9. The things you take for granted.
Unfortunately, in indoor auto-brightness tends to maximize value, while in outside without switching to a light theme it is difficult to read information.
It's worse than my last Moto Z Play. That says something. On top of it, the battery drains too much when not using.

Exactly! Indoor it goes to the max, but outdoor it's pretty dim.
But turning off dark mode mostly helps.

4.5/10. Still quite bright relatively to the room, but that's due to its 15cm x8cm size. Nearly phablet sized.
Source: I work for a telecoms company and am using the P20 Pro right now as a marketing sample.
I really love the phones size and shape it's perfect. The battery life seems to be rather good as well. The large screen does help out a lot!
The Minimum brightness level is fine and does the job! I've been able to read very well at night in bed... In fact, I was watching a movie the other day on my device.
Most builtin minimum brightness are to bright in my experience as well this is
But using a third party app when needed fixes that ?

Yeah, I've heard about the third party apps but never tried it. I've always found it to be good enough.
I do use an app to lower my minimum brightness on my Macbook Air because well that's just too damn bright lol. My phone however is fine.
Minimum brightness is fine for me. Others have said it's a bit too bright, but when you use the eye comfort mode, you'll have no issues.

Set to Auto it doesn't actually go to the minimum in a dark room. Kind of annoying.
It does fair, but I haven't found any phone that gets as dim as I want in a dark room. I use night owl to further dim the screen.
I had the G7 briefly, it had terrible brightness. Lower than preferable in lit rooms. the V40 is just right, I think.
The LG V40 goes a bit darker then the V30. So improvement there. For me its dark enough.
Comfort view and manual slide does just fine by me.
Found a review that has some more exact measurements:
https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-v40-thinq-display-review/
At its dimmest, the LG V40 ThinQ can go as low as 2.3 nits, which puts it around the same minimum brightness as most Androids OLEDs. Apple’s latest OLED displays, however, measure down to 1.8 nits, which noticeably appears a tad dimmer (by about 12%).

Minimum brightness is good for me, but automatic brightness doesn't work well under dark conditions.
I hope for a fix in the next update.

I agree the automatic brightness adjustment is not doing well. I suspect it is looking at my face with the front camera, and notices the screen light on my face, thinking the environment is bright, thus the screen must be brighter. A feedback-loop. Not sure that is what is happening but I can confirm the brightness keeps adjusting way too often and in way to big steps.

It does ok. Not nearly as well as the 5t, has a lot of glare issues so you will naturally be trying to hold it at specific angles. The 5t was more natural and you could just walk and read and natural motion wouldn't reflect as much. I'm trying to get used to it. Screen is massive and I really like the real estate it has.
Mines looks pretty good. If I compare with my favorite (from my prev devs - Samsung note 4) - OP7 pro doing very well on direct sunlight (no concerns at all, pretty much like note)
I frequently use Google maps in full Florida sun with this thing mounted on the handlebars of my motorcycle. Never have trouble seeing it, even with sunglasses on.
Very readable even in direct sun light
Pretty good but a notch below my S8 +.
The best since my s6 edge+ while rooted using high brightness. The high brightness mods makes it the best I've ever used. Just put an iPhone X Max and Xr to shame today.

Where did you find this mod? Is an automatic mod that go on when you are under the sun or you have to active it every time manually? Thanks

Is this one the mod that you use? Is possible to use it with root but with the stock kernel?

I use the Renovate Ice magisk mod and it creates a qs tile that you can toggle off and on like the rest of the qs tiles
Very good for me in the sun...
Works Good
The Device performs very well and is not a problem about outdoor visibility.
I came from an SGS8 so my experience had been really good. Top-notch, really. The 1+7 Pro is worse. It isn't bad though, it's still great. Also, there seems to be an issue with the automatic brightness. Where the S8 would, due to the conventional light sensor, turn the brightness up and down seemingly even before any change happened, the 1+ struggles a bit. It takes time. I've heard people describe how it doesn't work at all and they have to adjust it manually, so far, I only had delay issues.

That's the main downside for these full screen display devices: the ambient light sensor has a cutout under the OLED layer but the screen can interfere with what the sensor sees. I can sometimes be in a dark room and brightness adjusts to the appropriate level but it can read the light being emitted around the cutout as an increase in light and boost the brightness up pretty high.
I find that after some time the autobrightness issues kind of die down, same with the proximity sensor during calls since that too is under the display
At points i couldn't really make out the screen in sunlight with max brightness. Might be because of the memory film protector on the front. ElementalX kernel is my saviour for the high brightness mode at the moment
Very bright
Very very good and with high brightness mode it's even better. Never seen such a nice display

sadly the xperia 5ii doesnt even come close to my p30 pro in brightness outside,
Very disapointent but ok it has other strengths
No issues at all with mine. It may not be ultra bright but I can still see the screen more than ok.
I can say 5 II is brighter than Xperia 5.
I was concerned because a few reviews mentioned a lack of brightness. I'm sure it's not as bright as some but where I live is very bright and it works. I have a bigger problem my my face reflecting on the screen if the sun is right.
Just got my Xperia 5 II few days ago. Put it side by side with Pixel 4 and noticed straight away that the Pixel screen is better - brighter, no blue tint when looking at it from the angle, better colours. Outdoor (bright sun) visibility is clearly worse than on dirt cheap Pixel 4 which is very disappointing. Considering that in Pro mode you have only a half of the screen as a viewfinder, taking pictures at bright sunny day conditions become a pain in the ass a bit.
I had disabled the auto-brightness and set the brightness to the highest level. Then I read that the highest level set that way was not as high as the highest level with adaptive brightness. So, I turned on adaptive brightness and it does seem to work, totally subjective, a bit better. I'm still not happy with the screen in sunlight.

I don't understand why you like it, cause the battery life it's mediocre...I don't get more than 6h sot on WiFi,on mobile data I can barely get the 4h sot mark, camera quality it's bad,so why do you like it?

A. I prefer photography to computational photography
B. I don't play games, don't do Facebook, and don't need 6 hr. screen on each day
C. I charge by phone each night before bed, up to 80%, and the next evening it's at 50% at worst.
D. I like the Photo Pro interface
E. I like the photographs I get
F. I was spending my money. You can spend yours on Samsung or Huawei if you want.

I would easily pick P40 Pro/Mate 40 pro if they would have GMS, but I can't live without Google, so my only alternative to a good camera was Sony, at least this was my hope...Samsung I don't like it, I honestly hate this brand because they're selling overpriced phones without a reason, and they make market differences(Exynos in some countries, snapdragon in another country).
About charging, yes, I also have Battery care set on auto and I charge my phone overnight, but yeah, I spent some time on social media so my hope was that battery should be better, but this was false, unfortunately
That's why Sony sales are so low because phones are not so good as they say, or maybe I was a little bit unlucky and got a faulty unit(unlucky that I only have 1 year of warranty)
I think sales are low because people prefer a point-and-shoot camera that takes great photos for them. That is Huawei and Samsung. My sister said she preferred photos from my Huawei p40 pro. I said I preferred taking photos with my Xperia 5 II.
I have my fun taking photos.
