A Galaxy Note 3 is fairly readable in daylight. at full brightness it is about 600 nits. Plus it has a barometric sensor for the software vario. and the speaker does not face away from you like many devices.


I just Googled "Galaxy Note 3". It seems this has a "Super AMOLED"
screen. Other devices with super amoled screens that I have tested went
black when the sun was shining directly onto the device. Ie sun over
your shoulder and shadow of your head just next to the device. This is
the most challenging situation, especially if you are wearing
sunglasses. It is also 5.7", a bit big for my glider.
