In this quick test, we compare the brightness of LG V30(pre-production) vs. Galaxy Note 8 in indoors and outdoors.
FYI: Both phones have sunlight sensor to kick in super-bright mode so that is why the screens don’t get brighter indoors.

As I suspected, Samsung AMOLED hasn’t gotten brighter over its predecessors but LG’s new V30 w/ OLED display proves to be on par with Samsung, considering no LCD displays have made Top 5 for our brightness test. Not quite as bright but from naked eye, I couldn’t not tell the difference.
Next few years will be a competition between LG’s OLED smartphone displays vs. Samsung’s AMOLED displays, both which are top of its class and seems like OLED may prove to be smart move on LG.
