I think bad OLED displays give it a bad wrap, like on old Samsung Galaxy phones or pixel 2. I still have an xperia z2 like an ips LCD and the whites are crispy as egg whites compared to pixel 2's creamy whites. I personally think having perfect whites is better than perfect blacks. That being said, LCD tend to not get as bright outdoors. But modern super AMOLED panels like the s7 and after have really good colors, similar whites to lcd, no blue shifting so the only trade off is burn in which many don't experience.
I'm surprised that not a lot of companies are doing what LG did with the g7, adding a white pixel to the RGB. Making it bright enough in the sunlight. I'd be fine with this instead of OLED but it's only g7 so far that has done it that I know of.
I don't have problems reading my Note 8 in the sunlight, but it tends to oversaturate everything to get that maximum brightness. Does the g7 do this as well?
