Does anyone know how the screen holds up in direct sunlight?

It is over a hundred nits brighter than the HTC 10.

Heard the same. Lots said whether it's really 100nits or more that it's easily usable in sunlight.

And also how it performs to look at the screen wearing sunglasses? I remember that was another issue with the HTC 10 screen.

I had the Ultra and it was very good in the sun.

Yes the Tianma screen was polarized so that you couldn't see it in portrait mode and the Sharp panel was polarized so it was ok in portrait mode but not in landscape mode. Sharp did it the correct way.
