| Top 10 flagships with brightest displays |
Nowadays,
it's safe to say that most flagship devices come with display stacks
that are, for the most part (but not necessarily) not very
reflective, so screen brightness happens to be a rather important factor. Measured in nits, we have a vast database of screen measurements for a large number of devices, and brightness is
on that list. For the most part, it's relatively safe to say that a brighter screen will be easier to make out, though, obviously, a very reflective glass will diminish the effect. For example, the Oppo Find 7A's display, which outputs 455 nits of brightness, is notably harder to make out when compared with the Samsung Galaxy S5's screen, which outputs 442 nits. That said, if the Find 7A's display was as bright as the Lumia 1520 (707 nits), it probably would prove as equally-visible, or even more.

With the above

with the brightest displays currently on the market, from brightest to
dimmest.
Top 10 flagships with brightest displays
1. BlackBerry Z10
Indeed, while
BlackBerry is now a shadow of its former glory, the Z10 does come with
an extremely bright display, at the whopping 739 nits. It's excellent
for use outdoors, even under direct sunlight.

2. Nokia Lumia 1520
The large, 6-inch
Lumia 1520 also comes with an incredible display that can crank up the
brightness to up to 707 nits. That's incredible, especially considering
how large the panel is.

The display on the Apple iPhone 5s has become something of a reference point, at least as far as brightness (587 nits) goes.
4. Samsung Galaxy S5 Active

The rugged Galaxy S5
Active also has a very potent display, which can get its brightness up
to 491 nits. This is likely the perfect phone for the beach, as you
really won't have to worry about damaging it.
5. HTC One M8

The affordable Nexus 5 also comes with a display (485 nits) that you'll be able to make it out easily.
7. Xiaomi Mi-3

| Top 10 flagships with brightest displays |
A year ago we
wouldn't even think of putting a Xiaomi flagship on this list, but the
company's meteoric rise definitely caught our attention. For its part,
its current flagship -- the Mi-3 -- is a great device for use outdoors,
what with its 463 nits and non-reflective cover glass.
8. Sony Xperia Z2
 |

Sony's latest flagship is none too shabby, either, when it comes to use outdoors. Its screen peaks at 458 nits, which is decent
9. LG G3
 |
| Top 10 flagships with brightest displays |
When we first
received the Korean LG G3 version, we were kind of let down by its dim
display. Thankfully, it turned out that the European version is much
improved in this regard (though there are still caveats), and its
screen's brightness of 455 nits makes it usable under direct sunlight.
10. Oppo Find 7a
