I have the Samsung S4 phone. I have to go into the shade to use it.
I have the Samsung 7.7 (illegal in the EU as it was challenged by Apple) and that is equally hopeless.
I have yet to find an illuminated screen, other than e-ink, that is really visible in the British sun - let alone overseas.

You can make shade for yourself wherever you go though, as I do.
e.g. my quick DIY method is, sunshade cap + A4 or bigger sheet of dark colored drawing paper or similar opaque thicker paper (as a extended visor all the way to the tablet top) and a couple of bigger paperclips, for attaching the sheet of paper to the sunshade cap visor.
If you also want the left and right side completely protected from the reflected sunlight or the ambient light (not just the upper side from the sun above), all you need is a bigger sheet of paper (folded or taped), just left hanging unfolded from the both sides of cap/visor when necessary.
I usually use my tablet's cover as sun protection for the left side though, when reading in portraite, so would just need the upper and right side protected for a complete enclosure, but usually just upper side and reader's own cover is enough for me.
If or when this method is not acceptable because of aesthetic reasons, we can try some sunhoods like:
