SUNLIGHT LEGIBILITY OF MOBILE PHONE SCREENS
Transflective displays give the best sunlight legibility, and the business-orientated Nokia 6021 is a classic in this regard, helped by the fact that its fonts are thick black and very legible to start with.
As this phone in particular is still very popular with business users like myself who have given up trying to discern washed-out smartphone displays outdoors, then until you come across a display that is better still, why don't you get a Nokia 6021 and use it as the datum against which to compare the others you test from now on?
Then there would be thousands of people like me who would take a real and lasting interest in your site, which incidentally I found in the first place after searching "best phones for sunlight legibility" on Google.
Regards

I've used both Galaxy note and xperia ray. To be honest, the display of xperia ray is better under bright sunlight. So the contrast ratio is not always right to show sunlight legibility.

I want a GOOD phone with a BLACK and WHITE screen,ok,connectable to an outer,large,screen,tv,etc.
Best visibility of all,lowest battery drain.
Stop the nonsense,dont make them ALL wasteful gas guzzlers,with those amp thirsty tiny color screens.
Make some B&W.
People are getting more practical nowadays.

Where is Lumia 900?
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57409368-94/why-nokias-lumia-900-screen-looks-so-darn-good/
The Lumia 900 has "the lowest screen reflectance of any mobile device I have ever measured," Soneira told CNET. "4.4 percent, which is almost 40 percent lower than the iPhone 4."

Add the LG Optimus Black P970.
With its ultra-bright Nova IPS screen it should be up there with the best.

GSMArena Staff:
I really appreciate this effort and yes, please make it a regular feature.
But be careful of how you measure them. Some phones may have brightness settings different from others...
For example, if N8's brightness is set to maximum and another set's brightness is set to medium or lesser, than the verdict may wrongly go in favor of N8... (just an example).
All the best guys. And Thanks for this useful feature.
