Display Brightness

[bkrickles]

Just wondering what everyone keeps their brightness set to.

I keep it on adaptive. However, for some reason, it always seems a little too low on this phone compared to previous phones.

Hello

I keep mine auto then adjust from there when needed.

Yes on auto and adjust as well...Pixel phones usually are lower in brightness when on adaptive though this phones hands down has the best screen of any previous Pixel IMO ..

70 seems good to my eyes. I've never liked adaptive brightness.
My P6P I used to keep at 82 but I guess with the added display brightness of the 8 pro that was too high.

I keep mine on adaptive as well. I spent some time outside today, such a wonderful screen!

 

[bkrickles]

Every time I use adaptive, it drives me crazy . I'm constantly turning brightness higher.
How long do you have to use it to get to a good point with it?

 

[Katrina White1]

Adaptive and adjust as needed, usually at night.

 

[bmetelsky]

98% and never change it.

 

[mustang7757]

98% and never change it.

That's bright at night

I keep mine on adaptive also ... but have noticed, like others, that this P8P seems to be a little darker than my last 2 Pixels were. Usually it doesn't bother me, but I will bump it up a bit in certain lighting.
I'm really enjoying my new phone & Watch 2!!

Adaptive/Auto, don't have time to keep meddling with the brightness slider all the time.

 

[rikken]

75 %

 

[livetovacation60]

Usually around 70% on my Pixel 8

So many of you have said adaptive that I'm trying it again and I'll give it a full week. I've already had to make 3 adjustments since I woke up 45 minutes ago. Lmao

Yes the only frustrating thing is it learns from your viewing patterns! But I find that I still have to adjust in some scenarios that I've done previously anyway.. smh.. but at the end of the day I think it does a good enough job for my daily..

I use adapative and sometimes need to adjust it higher/lower.

Not using adaptive means I have to manually adjust it all the time, which is just more work.

 

[bkrickles]

I've given adaptive 2 weeks and it's just not for me.
I'm constantly adjusting to make it brighter. Many times per day.
I'm switching to manual to see how I like that.
I love my 8 pro. Definitely a significant improvement over 6 pro, which I liked a lot too.

I don't use either but instead I have been using this for years.... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arogulin.brightness&hl=en_GB&gl=US

There are 5 manual presets, each of which you can adjust to your preference depending on light conditions plus Auto.

Although not updated since September 2018 still works fine on Android 14 plus no permissions.
