Screen in sunlight better after new update? (380 nits to 550 nits)

[TheHeroFromDOOM]

Did the update make big change from the 380 nits screen to 550 nits screen? Is it better now in the sun light? The reviews coming out about this phone keep getting better and better but still want to ask you people who own it.

I believe I noticed an improvement - but YMMV

There should be an improvement, they posted it in the firmware changelog.

I can't get mine dimmed enough in the dark.

I agree....considering the size of the screen it is like looking at the sun before bed sometimes!! We need a night time toggle like those other guys!!

Yes, much improved. Previously when I tried to take photos in bright light it was almost impossible to frame an image correctly on the poorly illuminated screen. Now the screen image is bright enough to let me recognize what the camera will capture. In open shade the screen is a pleasure to work with..

Thanks for replying guys! Great to hear!

Don't recall there being an issue. However I'm usually treating my phone outside only when walking my dog, which is early morning or night.

From my POV it is all fine. A minor issue is, that during the day it tends to bee to dim and during the night it is too bright. So I keep adjusting to 75% during the day and 25% during the night. Not a biggie, but the 950XL was fine at 75%. Bright during the day and dim enough during the night.

HP should work on the steepness of the brightness curve - i would like it a little steeper, starting lower and ending higher.
