Wow the extra brightness is outstanding i can actually see my dark theme text , web all dark themed and extra brightness enabled i can definitely see really good in the sun, don't need to put the adaptive brightness.

I think the max extra brightness (1700 nits) only kicks in with adaptive brightness from what I have read. Not that it's not bright enough without adaptive brightness but I anyway use adaptive brightness on all my devices and it works well for me. Don't like manually adjusting everytime based on lighting.

Is it possible to put it on max brightness mode all the time? So it basically stays on the absolute max brightness the phone can go to permanently in the settings. Or does it only adjust to the max brightness possible if both set to adaptive mode and with the phone being in direct sunlight. And then it will drop brightness once the phone is taken out of bright sunlight. I hated this feature with my current Note 20 Ultra because it would go from the max brightness to lower max brightness mode as I walked under tree canopies or if clouds rolled over as I worked on my phone. I just want to keep it under th absolute max brightness mode all the time. Can the S22 Ultra do this?

It doesn't adjust the normal Brightness settings if that's what you mean.

I'm pretty sure the max brightness setting stays on. Under Display

You can only achieve maximum brightness in Auto brightness mode , the highest setting doing it manually won't get maximum and you shouldn't want that as could damage the display, eat battery life etc...

Thanks for the replies. I got the phone and it's slightly brighter than the Note 20. It also only goes into max brightness mode in direct sunlight; performs the same as the note 20.

Ok this is one thing that no one seems to be mentioning unless I'm just not understanding. To get to the ultra brightness you have to turn off the adaptive screen brightness setting. Then you have to turn on the brightness setting.

My questions are;

With this enabled the screen is always at this ultra bright level? In the few videos where they show this setting it doesn't look like the brightness slider disappears, so is it just brighter overall and sliding the brightness slider it can get up to the "1750" if you take it all the way? If you don't take it all the way it's still bright but, obviously, not the "1750"?

Is there any adaptive functionality with this enabled or is it a totally manual setting?

To get the maxim 1750 nits it needs to be in auto brightness manually putting it the slider up doesn't give maximum brightness of 1750 nits

This popped up in my feed today and explains it pretty well.

Thanks for that.

I like it. Used it at an outside sporting event a couple of weeks ago and it helped quite a bit in the bright sun.

I work outside all day away from a charger so wondering how much of a hit my battery will take from this once it starts to get hot and sunny out

One thing he didn't mention about the extra dim is that you can add a toggle in the Quick Panel. That prolly won't be helpful in a thread about brightness, but just something that may help those who use it.
