Stunning visibility in the sun, to be honest (and rather hard to photograph!) - Nokia's best ever screen?Īlso some modern Windows Mobile phones (e.g. Uses a tweaked, high reflectivity transflective screen. Superb contrast in direct sunlight, since the sun's own light is bounced back past the LCD crystals from the reflective layer. Uses a non-touch, transflective LCD screen, similar to those on the majority of (but not all) Nokia smartphones, including the E61, E71, N95, N82 and many others.Ĭuriously, the N76 and N93i didn't use this screen tech and failed miserably in the market. If you're the really mobile sort, next time you're looking for a phone or smartphone, don't you think you should take the screen tech into account? Device What follows is just a brief sample of direct sun performance of some of the phones I happen to have to hand. Over and over again, I believe that some manufacturers neglect to think about screen contrast in all conditions, with resulting poor choices in terms of technology and materials. see a map of where you are and where to go nextĪnd so on.see the image of the thing you're trying to photograph.
