[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] scandalousk:
Just to get back on this. The panel is actually the exact panel used in the Galaxy S7 Edge. Confirmed by Anandtech.

The S6E3HA3 panel is the one used in the Galaxy S7 Edge. Note 7 uses the S6E3HA5.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mtucker:
That is promising. I am using the two year old Nexus 6 and the readability outside in sunlight (or even near a window) is poor. According to this chart, http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Google-Nexus-5_id8148/benchmarks , my N6 is 270 nits and the 6P is 356. Greatly improved brightness and camera were the two things I really wanted from the Pixel (XL) and it sounds like it will deliver on both.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] scandalousk:
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it. The Galaxy S7 has the best display out there right now. Note 7 is slightly better on brightness to support hdr viewing. But that's it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
Note 7 was like reading off paper in direct sunlight, if the pixel even gets close to that I will be happy as even a slightly worse screen would still be perfectly legible in direct sunlight, unlike a lot of the LCD's that wash out bad.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Buddyfunlove:
Yeah, the note 7 was remarkable in direct sun. Going back to the 6p was a challenge (I am outside a lot with kids sports). Here is hoping!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] juliend:
OMG, going back to the 1080p LCD panel on my HTC One M7 after using the note was horrible. I don't even bother pulling my phone out when I'm outdoors on a sunny day. It's useless. If the Pixel looks half as good as my Note did in direct sunlight I will be happy enough.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
I dropped from my Note to a S3, was the only phone lying around I could use, was like going from a 50 inch 4K TV to a portable. on the plus side it should stop me comparing the pixel to the Note since my frame of reference at the moment is the S3.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] razor237:
Yeha the note 7 screen was awesome outside ....it was rough going back to my 6p when outside
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
EDIT: OP updated with pics & reviews.

I'm "this close" to canceling my pre-order based on early brightness results.

Need to find someone to compare reflectivity though.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] razor237:
Yeah thats a bummer .... ill have mine this week so guess ill find out too late to turn back now lol .... i got really use to how nice the note 7 display was outside
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] matteventu:
433 nits... meh...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
One place tested it at 378 nits.

Sure wish these reviewers would explain their testing process.

It's all so subjective.

But yeah, overall it's looking "meh" for sure.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] matteventu:
Subjective? A clear black-on-white number?

It's not subjective at all. It's comparable with the data - from the same website - registered for the other devices.

We only can wait Anandtech's review now, but it will probably take a week or two to come.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Yes, subjective for a couple variables.

Were all phones tested in exactly identical environments?

Were all set to "Auto" or "Manual".

Was the same shade of screen-on color used in each test?

There are probably lots of variables to account for and the reviewers don't mention what they are.

I'm not arguing with you, I'm just explaining what I meant. :good:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] matteventu:
I think you don't understand.

That nits value it's not to be used "as it is", but it has to be compared to the other values gathered from the same website for different devices. This because the website (PhoneArena in this case) uses the same testing method for all the device in order to create a record of comparable data.

For reference, what's the website that got 378 nits?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
How do you know they use the same testing method.

That's why I'm saying it's subjective.

As in, take it all with a grain of salt.

It's in the OP.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] droidguy22:
I checked the phone today at Verizon store, compared the screen brightness with S7 edge and to my eyes pixel xl is slightly brighter than S7 edge.

See the attached picture, both are at 100℅ brightness, adaptive/auto off.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mtucker:
Thanks for the picture. Your picture does make the Pixel look brighter (or at least whiter) than the S7. My Pixel just arrived, but all I have to compare it to is my N6 which known to be very dim.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] droidguy22:
Yes, Pixel is whiter (more accurate, S7 edge is little bit on the bluish side) and brighter.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bsweetness:
Might be brighter with the manual brightness, but it's not with automatic brightness in direct sunlight. Samsung phones only go to their real maximum brightness on automatic brightness in bright light. I was just comparing my Pixel XL and Note 7 outside, and the Note 7 got noticeably brighter in direct sunlight. The Pixel XL was definitely readable though.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
as long as it can been seen out in the sun the numbers are irrelevant. end of the day real world use trumps a random number.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] droidguy22:
Custom kernels will take care of this.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Could you please set both phones to 100% manual brightness instead of Automatic and compare again?

And maybe comment on reflectivity between the two screens?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Even *if* the same exact panel is used (not likely) as the S7 Edge, the hardware and software drivers are most likely very different.

If both phones get the same brightness at 100% manual, then we can hope the High Brightness Widget can get us the extra oomph that Samsung phones get:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.hbmwidget
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
I just compared my Pixel XL vs. my Motorola Moto X Pure out under the 12PM Texas sunlight.

Turned off adaptive brightness for both.

Set both to max brightness on the slider.

Opened up the same webpage (yahoo.com).

Also looked at my phone contact pictures.

The Moto X Pure was slightly brighter and easier to see/read with direct view.

When looking at an angle, the Pixel XL was easier to read.

Once root is available, I'll install the Brightness Widget and install ElementalX kernel to see how the Pixel XL looks with the brightness pumped up.

If it gives me 10% more brightness then I think it'll probably be just as bright as the Moto X Pure with direct viewing.

The Moto X Pure has ~715 nits according to some reviews and is just as bright as my old Note 4 was.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sdelcegno:
I have no issue with the pixel xl in bright sunlight. It's much better than my 6p
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
I dream of a day when our phones are capable of 4000+ nit bursts in direct sunlight so I can read text messages and emails without removing my semi dark polarized sunglasses.

I have no issues removing my sunglasses if I'm going to sit there for five minutes reading a book on my phone.

Okay, I don't really "dream about it".

But I do consider this a valid goal for mfg's.

I'd also like it to be always-on extra extra extra bright when plugged in and in direct sunlight.

Such as when I ride around on my Motorcycle and have the phone plugged into the USB charger and mounted next to my speedometer while using the phone's navigation software to get to where I'm going.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] flar2:
Good news, I've tested it and HBM works on both the Pixel and Pixel XL.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
Fantastic! Would love to get a nits reading of the HBM mode to see if it's hitting S7 Edge levels. ;)

Will we have to use a 3rd party kernel to use HBM again?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] flar2:
Yes, you will need a custom kernel.

I measured with one of my other phones:

max brightness stock: 398 lux

hbm on: 589 lux
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
For those wanting more visbility, flar2's EX kernel + high brightness mode widget (with auto-on) works perfectly just like auto-brightness on Samsung's flagships. The Pixel XL is on par with the S7E with these mods.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] joderme:
I wonder why Google is restricting use of higher brightness? I would guess either battery life or burn-in worries.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
Doubtful. It's not like it'd be activated very long. I'm sure it's something along the lines of Samsung not wanting them to take their thunder.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
It's unlikely they are restricting it.

Samsung's AMOLED panel driver sets brightness to a reliable level.

They then gave an option to go higher than that level for short periods of time.

Google and other mfg's don't do this for some reason.

Actually, I think LG is starting to do this with some phones too, like the G5.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] flar2:
I'm not sure why this mode is not enabled on many phones.

The OnePlus 3 has HBM, but it's not very bright (causes a lot of bad reviews for the HBM widget)

Strangely, all Moto phones including the Nexus 6 have the necessary kernel interfaces for HBM, but it is never activated by the system. It can be activated with the HBM Widget. I used the code from Moto devs to port HBM to the Nexus 6P and Pixels.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] crazeyfeet:
I compared the Pixel with iPhone 6s. The latter was much brighter. I don't understand why the Pixel is not bright as the big brother XL.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Are you rooted?

If so, try installing ElementalX kernel and the high brightness widget to compare brightness again.

It gets you a NICE jump in brightness when activated.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
I have compared my XL to a 6s and it is as bright, brighter with HBM enabled from ElementalX kernel.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] smk513:
I installed ARISE Sound mod. (Deuteronomy 1.51)

But after the installation Poweramp in DVC(Direct volume control) does not work.

And the overall volume was too low. (not clarity, lower bass .... in speaker)

What should I do?

Sorry I can not speak English well.

Thank you.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] abhi0502:
Dont use poweramp with arise. Its has some probs. Im using phonograph app its free and simple and sound quality just amazing

I should be deleted Poweramp...

too bad

YouTube app is too low, too.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
Now that the 6p has been out for awhile, I was just wondering how the phone looks if it is used naked without a case, in particular the graphite version. Does the aluminum show through the graphite after awhile ?

Aluminum I assume would hide scratches better since it is metallic silver. I like the graphite, but I'm concerned eventually it will have the color scratch through. Just wondering.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
Mine always in a case. No scratches except around the USB-C port.

All water under the bridge now. If you order from Google you need to order a Pixel.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
I figured most ppl have theirs in the case. I would get a nexus 6p from some other seller but I don't intend on using a case though. Just wondering if anyone had any scratch through the black issues. If I can't find out definitively I might just get the silver one.....id hate to buy the graphite then have the silver base aluminum scuff through after 6 months.

Hi,

Is it possible? I'd like to use my own photos library
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
Upload your photos to Amazon Drive (250MB free / Unlimited Photos with Prime / $60 a year for unlimited everything) and select the album as a source from the settings menu.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
Thanks.

I am not a prime member at the moment and 250MB wouldn't be enough.

Is there any other way? Perhaps replace it with a different screensaver?

My device is running the latest firmware and is not rooted
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenie95125:
I have over 200 gigs of photos from over the last 20 years, so uploading would be impractical. Is there a way to access the photos on the drive on my network? Random access would be perfect.

Wonderful phone I have it since a day and I'm really satisfied...perfect, buy it. Eui is a very stable and good firmware. Buy it if you aren't a super fan of CM OR AOSP ROM...in that case better OP3.

Not a bad phone and if some roms are developed then it'd be so much better.

Yeah the camera could be better and the speakers could use some help however it's still a solid performer (even with eui being ****ty and taking 2 out of 4 gigs of ram like wtf eui why you do this?!!!)
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Tiz-:
I like the speaker very much and, moreover, there is a headphone adapter included so that you can use ordinary headphones. The price is insane (also compared to the new OnePlus 3T). Battery is awesome. I am sure that there will be developers' interest in this phone.

Hi,

Le Pro3 is one of the best phone for the price. I saw many video it's neck to neck with even Oneplus3t for speed,ram management and everyday usage. That's unbelievable good for me, everything work great sound, audio,camera, battery life. The Eui, nothing wrong with it it's just different but it works fine maybe take few days to get used to.

It got few custom roms so thats good, people can change it up a bit if they want to.

You gotta buy and try it, the 97% is only read and assume things not really use the phone, glad I bought one, thanks LeEco.

anyway at the spec/price this is one of the best phones out there, i wish there could be more development than the actual state, that is very very poor( we don't even have a functional 7.1 rom ).
