• Yes, you can adjust the screen and achieve enough brightness for outdoor use.

• Bright outdoor light makes it difficult to see what is on the screen.

• I've never found any tablet that is readable outdoors. The Samsung Tab A is no exception. The tablet screen is "smothered" by the bright ambient light to the point that I can't tell if the tablet is even on. If I know I'm going to be reading outdoors I take a dedicated e-reader such as a Kindle or a Nook.

• I've had it outdoor and as with all types of screens in the genre it is sometimes difficult to read due to the sun overpowering the backlight. In shaded areas it is much better but on the beach I'm gonna have to say it probably will not be good. I would see if a friend had one and test it personally so you know for sure. Good Luck!
