If so could you take both out on a sunny day and see which is easier to read and take pics? If not a tbolt a rezound would also be a great comparison.
Thanks!
Thanks!
What brightness levels do you want them at?
Both at max since it must be sunny for the test. I think even on auto both would go to max in the sun anyway wouldn't they?
Both at max they're about equal. Slight edge to the S3. Both suck IMO here in sunny AZ.
I still have the TBolt. I'm having a serious issue with some pictures that I took on the TBolt looking better than the S3 (viewed pics from both phones on the the other phone's screen). Can't wait til someone comes up with a fix for the bs screen dimming, especially within the browser, that plagues the S3

There's a separate brightness control inside the stock browser that most people don't notice.
No for my very unscientific study. As Forgetful said, neither are anything to write home about. Both are visible in direct sunlight at full brightness with the edge going to the SIII. Anything less than that on the Thunderbolt was pretty much unreadable with the SIII being slightly viewable even at the lowest levels. Samsung still can't seem to get autobrightness correct so the Thunderbolt wins that one. Below are the pictures of the Bolt and GSIII respectively. Sidenote: damn these things love finger prints.

The gs3 pic came out way smaller than tbolt. What would be cool is a pic of the tbolt next to the gs3 both in sun on max brightness...maybe with keyboard and text on screen of each and another with the same photo on the screen of each.
Demanding? Ya, sorry. I really appreciate you guys going to so much trouble to help me. $600 for the GS3 is a big investment for me so the help is really appreciated. Every phone has its weaknesses so it is so hard to choose.

Thanks so much for taking so much effort. I REALLY appreciate it. Your picture allays my concerns about screen brightness. The CNET review didn't do justice to the GS3.
It's amazing what a great community we have here.
