Still need to find an improved way to work with the screen in the bright sun. Unpolarized sunglasses, reading sunglasses, or...?

Glad you're sorting it out. I find lack of an EVF a real limit, one of the best things about Google's GCam automation is how little you need to see as compared with manual settings. I just keep a screen brightness control app next to the camera and shoot RAW/DNG for more flexibility post-processing, but there are other ideas floating around here. If conditions are really bad, you can shoot exposure brackets with manual apps - Snap Camera and I think Hedgecam will save all the bracketed singles along with the algorithmically processed HDR composite.  Enjoy the phone.
