The brightness is really disappointing if this is true.

Is the brightness really bad?

I would ignore these brightness tests. Wait for the Displaymate review. Several reviewers have said the display is fine in the sun though

A couple of reviews in the review thread seemed to indicate it was dim in the sun. Seems mixed like all of these anecdotal reviews. If it is any less than the s7 I would think this device is not worth the price.
Well, the model matters as well. The Pixel XL is noticeably brighter than the Pixel. If the reviews you read were for the Pixel and not the Pixel XL then that could be why.

Good point. You may be right. I just cant believe Google would put a high res dim display in this device. The Bove test mist be wrong.

To be fair the s7 is the brightest phone outside because Samsung ramps it up to eleven. Most displays don't get quite that bright.

Android Central says it's good in direct sunlight: http://m.androidcentral.com/google-pixel
From what I've seen it performs well in sunlight.

Yeah I would highly doubt either of the Pixels is going to be brighter than the n7... I believe the s7's and n7's are currently the brightest AMOLED screens on the market. And I'm guessing the Pixel might be using a samsung panel but samsung seems to reserve their very best panels for their own phones.
That's very good news. It seems like many tests can often paint a different picture than practical usage.
Thatis crazy if it is true, I was hoping that the phones would be brighter than my 5X. I came from a LG G4 and that was brighter than my 5X.
DisplayMate provides the most comprehensive display reviews I have ever seen.
A distant second is AnandTech which is in itself more information than you would likely need.
Wait for one of those two reviews to come out to get an objective review of display accuracy, brightness, saturation accuracy, etc.

I've got the Pixel, and the brightness is fine, for real world usage it's good. I've turned the adaptive brightness off as that always knocks it down no matter what
I have a Pixel XL and the screen is very bright, I run it around 60%. No issues seeing it outdoors, but every screen looks worse in direct sunlight. Someone on reddit said it's a Note 7 Screen trimmed down.
