Get an anti glare screen protector.

And also, make sure there are no fingerprint smudges on the screen. Also make sure the brightness is all the way up

I heard the anti glare screen protectors make your phone look and feel horrible.

Did you wipe the fingerprint smudges off?

That is a drawback of AMOLED displays. Sunlight equals "the suck". This is especially true when wearing sunglasses.

Hmm. Hadn't thought of that. Lol.

I have the ivisor anti glare screen protector, and it feels and looks great. Do not leave the brightness all the way up for extended periods of time. I've heard it can burn the screen.

Do you have 4.1.2? Mine was dim until I got this upgrade recently!

Seriously, you need to consider getting a phone with an LCD display. The amoloed isn't going to do it.

Update does not help much outdoor. The best you could do is to find shaded area and turn off Auto Brightness and turn brightness all the way up.

There is also a setting in the camera that lets you turn up the brightness when you're taking a photo. It helps a little, but not much.

That feature actually works quite well. That would be a useful setting to have in the display settings.

Also if watching a movie through video player, pull up the setting menu and down the bottom you'll see Outdoor Visibility option.

That's just what it is. All is well until you hit sunlight, and BAM! It's really like the Note 2 automatically turns brightness all the way down itself, even though it shows as being all the way up.

I've never had an issue in sunlight, the way this was worded either the op has a bad device, doesn't know how to use it, is blind, or simply trolling
