Pixel 3 screen visibility in bright light, is there something I can do to help me see?

[IMANUT46]

I've always had a problem with the Pixel 3 visibility in bright sunlight. I've been spending a lot of time outdoors lately, and the problem is really getting on my nerves. I have the screen in maximum brightness.
Is there an accessory that can be used to help with the problem? I'm looking for any suggestions. Thanks.

Frankly, I've found most screens other than my Kindle Paperwhite hard to view in bright sunlight. I just generally try rotating my body to cast shade on the screen. That does not work when I want to face certain scenery and the screen is in the sunlight.

Actually, I'm in my very bright car, and it's mounted on the dash.

Just an aside -- if the phone is mounted on the dash in direct sunlight for any significant amount of time, make sure it's constantly being cooled. Phones can overheat really quickly in a car mount, due to the combination of the heat from direct sunlight and the heat generated by the phone (usually from active navigation).

Agree. Mine is on a vent magnet mount and mostly gets cool A/C.

I don't think Adaptive Brightness would be any better - it may crank up your brightness to maximum, as well. What about things like changing colour saturation? Brightness outdoors is often a problem for me too!

This looks a bit silly, but maybe try something like this? https://www.amazon.com/TFY-Universa...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6969826

That's funny. I was just going to recommend improvising some type of visor. There you go.

Thanks. I have looked at devices like this, but since I am a neat freak, the dash clutter would be a NO ~NO for me. It looks like I'll just have to rely on voice directions in those Visibility problem situations.
