Default iPhone 6+ or Galaxy Note 4?

I have been using the Galaxy Note 4 with CAI302/XCSoar for some time now and IT IS sunlight readable (with sunglasses on). Note 5 is said to be still better, and the fatal Galaxy Note 7, which I could use for few days before recall, was simply sensational with its double light sensors (front and rear, and thus not changing the brightness all the time in circling in a thermal) and reaching 1000 nits.

This coming Wednesday, March 29, Samsung will present the new Galaxy S8, which in the 'plus' version is expected to have a 6.2" display. Later in the year the Note 8 is expected to have 6.4" display. Let's save money and wait, while the old Note 4 is still working, with cheap replacement OEM batteries ($18).
