Has anyone fathomed out a way to read their mobile phone in glaring sunlight? I was grabbing a quick half hour on the beach after lunch when my phone rang but I couldn't see a thing to answer or reject, let alone read the caller's name.
If I increase the brightness then I am wasting valuable battery.
Do I need to go to specsavers, or any suggestions?

You can change a setting on some phones so the screen brightness adapts to the amount of light. Try that?

You can buy anti-glare covers it might help.

I can change mine in settings so that I can use it in daylight for 15mins then have to set it again.
