No they're not. They're better than standard AMOLED displays, but are about equal to LCD, or perhaps slightly inferior in bright light. A lot of the hype came from a bit of a misleading video of someone holding a Samsung in what some people construed to be bright sunlight.
Here's a slightly better video in actual sunlight:
And again, you CAN make the screen more visible in sunlight if you ramp up the light output, but you are draining batteries quite badly by doing so. That's how these displays work.
