it's still too bright at min brightness, had to use an filter app.
Yep agreed. I did find turning on power save seemed to reduce brightness.

Yea, I found out quickly when I switched to the 10 that Powersaver just can't be turned on while outside in sunlight.
Powersaver does the following:
Conserves CPU Power/ Reduce Screen brightness/ Turn off vibration feedback/Put data connection to sleep when screen is off (or at least it used too)
We used to have the option to enable/disable (see attached image) these features when powersaver is turned on, now we just have the option to turn it on/off. Wish we still had the option to disable certain things like brightness, or vibration.
Yeah, turning on power save will reduce brightness, it work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/development/kernel-elementalx-htc10-0-01-t3385167 does the job too.
Better than iPhone and dont need to jailbreak/root to filter it down even more. Very happy
wish can really reduce to minimum, so not to bright on dark room

Question and/or discussion
What is better for battery?
Screen brightness automatic with basis 20% or brightness manuel on 20%

It depends where/when you use your phone most.
If its mainly outdoors then manual brightness will give a better battery life, but its going to be hard to see the screen. If indoors and/or lowlight then auto may be better.
I always use auto brightness so you have a balance of power saving and readability.

Ok.....I left him auto
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
i think it's semi auto
whem i'm outdoor i'll set at 60% and auto option for let it swing around 60%
and at night i may be set at 30 % for soft light
Screen brightness automatic with basis 20%
I heard that auto brightness consumes more battery
But its also something exclusive to our phone comparing to the s3 mini
So, do you guys think its worth using??
No, if you want to save battery. Btw, I don't think you need to open a thread for question like this..
For a long time I used autobrightness, but now it seems to be better if I change turn the screen brighter when I need, or if the sun shines so bright, any other time my brightness is on minimum.
What i do is:
Brightness- lowest most of the time
outdoor- auto when i want
Btw, for dialling no.s quickly i used a tasker profile (when i launch phone/messaging b/w 8am-6pm it sets auto brightness on)

For those who don't know , tasker is an app which is used to automate your phone. (It uses an"if this then that" logic.
Search Google play for tasker.
Such a setting is called a profile.

I always have brightness at 100 and still a good battery life

Auto brightness is constantly using the sensors to gauge the brightness levels so is no good for battery life.
Use it only when needed like outside in sunlight.
Indoors minimum brightness is fine and is much better on battery.

Sensor should be shutdown when screen is turn off and active only when screen is active. The easiest way would be check interrupts in kernel
Code:
cat /proc/interrupts|grep sensor_name
. If it generate a lot of interrupts when screen if off it may cause battery eating, but then is fault in driver.
I turn off auto brightness first thing. It never goes dim enough when in a dark room or bright enough in daylight. I also see battery saved when I manually control it. Been doing this with all phones I have had... just sayin'

Yes i know its only when screen on.
Would be a bit pointless with screen off

Not great. LCD has trouble with very low brightness
I've never seen an IPS display brightness get as low as this. Phone arena measured it at 2 nits.
Not many people need their screen to get that low but for those who do, it's there.
Screen can get really dim on manual setting
For me, the lowest brightness setting was never needed, but if there are users that want to take advantage of this then it is there.
Anyone have issues with the adaptive brightness feature lowering the screen brightness way too low? In a room where the light source is in front of me (behind the phone since it's pointing at me) the phone screen will dim and make it impossible to read. Increasing the brightness doesn't help as it will get way too bright when something bright comes on behind me for a few seconds.
Omg I LOVE how low the brightness gets, its perfect for waking up at 3 am and checking the time. I'm one of those people who keeps the screen on the lowest brightness possible, never use auto brightness. I've never seen a screen have as huge of a range of brightness as this. You can go from "I can't see wtf is on the screen" to "AHHHHHH! MY EYES, THEY ARE BURNING!" in half a second.

The screen (with minimum brightness) was hurting my eyes when the room's light was turned off.
The minium brighteness is still very bright.
i use 3rd party apps from play store to decrease the minimum brightness even more(to the point where you cant see anything). but in sunny outdoors, its hard to use the phone even when you turn on outdoor mode but overall im ok with the phone's brightness
You can install an app which reduces the brightness alot (i think its called Night Mode)
Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Razer Phone 2's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.

Something have noticed is that when I start gaming at max brightness the screen dims a bit nothing major but it is noticeable. I don't have auto brightness control on and do it manually anyone else noticed this?.
You buy rp just to play my world. Mmmmmmm. Ok, I also played many years ago. As for the mobile phone, I think his brightness is still good, and the game has not suddenly dimmed (think about it, other games will not have this problem)
