So XDA's on a bitching spree about the low brightness levels seen from the Pixel's in terms of maximum nits, I'm not a member there but enjoy their elitists discussions as sometimes topics like this are pulled to the forefront of decisions. I'm really close to pulling the trigger on this phone but this got me nervous as I'm a contractor and really this is a must point for me. I'm still rocking a OG Droid Turbo so I hit up phonearena to compare and see where I stand:
Pixel comes in at 433 nits, which is apparently now relatively crap compared to the field, after the panic I checked the Turbo and it's an awful 248 nits...wait what? I have no problems at all reading my phone outdoors in direct sunlight, or am I really missing out and don't even know it? So now yet another category of meh in a pool of awesome potential from this phone to consider. It'll be an upgrade from what I have but it's inferior to the competition. Grah. Thoughts on this people?
