You can compare the display brightness, contrast, resolution etc on www.phonearena.com
It's a good site to chose an new Android. I bought a google/LG NEXUS 5x last month. Great phone. Very bright. My Sony would not charge when it got hot, so no good. I have been using a Dell streak 5 for the last year or so. That too is good but old and unavailable now.

You may be better off with a smaller screen that has more contrast. Mike At 09:55 AM 4/3/2016, you wrote: >Hmmm....
