Its fine in sunlight..unless you put on a screen protector that effects the visibility in sunlight..otherwise I'd say its as good as lcd..maybe a little bit less..
Yes it Gorilla Glass that makes it tough stuff..but its still glass..aka you can take a screw and smear it over and it won't scratch..but if it gets cut from a certain angle or comes in contact with certain stuff it can get scratched.
The downsides are:
1) PenTile Matrix - Generally not a problem but there are 1 in a 100 who cant stand it
2) OLED in certain situations can degrade unevenly leaving a trace (like displaying a still image for a long period of time)..its not exactly temporary..neither is it permanent..but you should know about it...The color green is the least likely to be effected...blue is more effected. Lifespan of oled is as follows...B=1x, R=2x, G=4x...1x=50,000 hours...OLEDs unlike LCDs dont burn out though they just fade the more you use them..so its not like it wont work..it'll just be half brightness
3) Energy use is as follows R=1x, G=2x, B=3x in energy use..white is made by turning on all colors..thus 6x
4) Its over saturated..but that kinda makes it look better then worse lol
The scenarios above though are not exactly a "common" problem but does effect people who for example use their phoen as a dock with leaving their screens on for a whole day...or those who want a pure white theme and etc..
There are of course a lot of benefits to super amoled as well which amke it well worth it.
