The Sharp Aquos Sense9 features a Pro IGZO OLED display with a peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits and full white brightness at 1,500 nits, making it highly visible even under direct sunlight[1][3]. In contrast, the Google Pixel 7's display, while not specified in terms of peak brightness in the provided sources, is noted to appear dim in bright sunlight, requiring users to boost the brightness to the maximum when outdoors[2]. Therefore, the Sharp Aquos Sense9's display offers superior outdoor visibility compared to the Google Pixel 7.
Additionally, the Sense9's dynamic refresh rate adjustment between 1 and 120Hz enhances its display performance, providing smooth visuals akin to a 240Hz refresh rate at peak performance[1][3]. This feature further contributes to its superior display quality in various lighting conditions.
