Brightness controls are one of those areas of a smartphone review that I often spend an odd amount of time talking about. It must be because I use my phone far too often in dark situations (aka lying in bed), but I can tell you which phones get dark enough and which need a bit of help. Samsung’s phones, for example, have excellent brightness range at both the low and high end. OnePlus’, not so much.
One of Android 12’s features called “
Extra Dim” aims to address not-dim-enough-displays by allowing the system to further darken beyond what an OEM might have set. This feature was previously called “Reduce Bright Colors” or “Reduce Brightness,” but Google has now settled into “Extra Dim” for Developer Preview 3, which I kind of like.
