Hi guys.....What display setting you like in our ZF2
increasing saturation little bit in customisation mode seems good in phone our phones.....
Been using Vivid since day 1, havent really messed with those settings yet.
Im using reading mode at lowest settings...since zenfone 2 has highest screen battery consumption on screen panels when at use...base on other forums i saw...i think it would lessen up the battery drainage a bit...and i block the notification of spendid too.
I also use reading mode. And I manually set brightness to 70%. If I am outside for any extended period, I will switch to vivid and 100%.
I use vivid but with the colour temp cold for whiter whites.
I use balance mode and reading mode in the evening.
Kept it on balance and never touched it.

I just upgraded from 8.1 to 9.0 on my XL 2 over the weekend. I am stock rooted.
Is it just me or is the overall display brightness much less on Pie than it was on Oreo? In the same daytime environment, I feel like Pie needs to be around 70% brightness whereas on Oreo, I feel like the display was set on about 35%. I rarely had Oreo brightness above 50%. Now with Pie, I feel like I can barely see the screen when it's under 50%.
On Oreo, my display was set to Saturated and of course, white theme since that's all we had.
On Pie, I used the same settings and it looks much dimmer. I adjusted display to Boosted and have toogled back and forth between light and dark themes and I don't notice any difference with how much dimmer the overall display feels.
The display can still get just as bright. They've just changed the way the values are displayed from the slider is all.

Google changed the algorithm on the brightness slider. Therefore, 70% is the new 30% So, no, it's not you. Another brilliant improvement for the sake of supposed progress! ?

Probably hanging out with this guy! ???
I agree with everyone else. 100% on 9 is still as bright as 100% was on 8.1 but 50% on 9 is NOT what 50% was on 8.1, no doubt about it. On 8x I usually kept my brightness around 65%... now on 9, to get something similar I am around 70-75%... If the same energy is being used to illuminate the display at the different values, batt life should remain about the same... But WHY?
Why change what 50% was on 8 to be different on 9? Isn't HALF the available illumination HALF the available illumination regardless of the OS version? What is the effect, or end game Google was looking for with this?
The max brightness is the same. The difference is the slider is no using a logarithmic algorithm instead of the old linear algorithm.
Here is the explanation of why it was done:
The first noteworthy feature is a changed brightness slider behavior: It now changes the brightness logarithmically instead of linearly. Before this preview when it was linear, about 90% of the brightness was controlled by the lower 20% of the left of the slider. The old 50% brightness was almost identical to 100% max brightness, and the old 5% brightness was significantly brighter than 0% brightness. Now, the change in perceptual brightness is more uniform as you increase or decrease the slider.
Exactly. 50% before was definitely not 50% nits output for the screen which, with a rated max 403 by anandtech, would be only 201.5 nits. And that was before the November update that lowered the max by 50 nits.

Doesn't really bother me. My normal brightness is now just like 60% instead of around 20%. Not sure why some freaked out about it.

The same shìt as the retards who designed the P3XL.
Anyone else think the brightness is not very bright? I have turned auto brightness of but slider is on around 75 to 80% in normal conditions?
Seems fine to me. Depends entirely on what you are comparing it to, though.
With the brightness dialed all the way up, it looks either brighter or dimmer than my P2XL depending on the angle, so...
I have come from iphone x and (work phone) huawei p20 pro.
Right way up or 80% is fine but say half way 50% is loads lower than most other phones

The display could be brighter, I feel 100% should have been what 90% would be. 50 and below is too dark to be used at all imo.
If it just flat doesn't get bright enough for you you're kinda screwed. If you're wondering about auto brightness you gotta keep on cranking it up for a week or so before it starts giving in and giving you what you asked for; at least this was the case with my 3 XL. Seems to be the case here, mine is still slowly but surely getting brighter as I keep on dutifully upping it to the desired setting in various conditions. It worked very well before, the best I've used so far and I'm hoping the same will go on here.
The auto-brightness is supposed to be fairly intelligent BTW: As an example it's supposed to recognize the middle of the night and that your sleeping and turn the brightness down more with the same brightness information available than it would in the early evening when it knows you're awake. As an FYI the adaptive battery feature also seemed to need some time to figure out what it wanted to do. I had my 3XL for about a week last fall and the battery situation was slowly but surely getting better every day just like the auto brightness. No idea if either would have continued to improve after I sent that one back but they both needed time, that was for sure.
I've configured my screen brightness to maximum and disabled "Adaptive Brightness" and "Comfort Tone".. Despite this, the device "decides" from time to time to reduce brightness.. How can I resolve this? I want brightness to be on maximum all the time no matter what..
I'm guessing that is does this because it's bad for the device to have full brightness on all the time.
First of all, why would you want to be on max brightness ? It will hurt your eyes in the dark, drain your battery and it may cause burn-in in long term.
Anyway, to answer your question, it reduces its brightness probably because of heating. An higher brightness means a higher temperature. To solve that, it may be possible to do that via magisk but i've never heard of something like this. Or you could try some custom roms that don't include that type of software cooling system.

Thanks! When the brightness gets low it hurts my eyes.. On my smasung galaxy s21 ultra, it never reduces brightness.. Why? simply because that's what I choose. It seems that oneplus would not let me choose to work with high brightness all the time.

Oh i see. Isn't this related to DC dimming ? If so some custom roms may support that.

Low brightness doesn't harm your eyes. It may cause muscle strain because you can't focus properly; harmless.
Full brightness can demage your retina over time especially viewing it in a dark environment.
Full brightness will greatly decrease the display lifespan of a AMOLED.
The blue pixels die first.
Use manual brightness control and try to limit it to no more than needed, 50% or less is best.
Do not use in direct sunlight for more then a few seconds.

It's a bug, i've same problem, it lowers brightness by itsself! Me too have all disabled, annoying bug.

Except it's not a bug. It's a feature. More likely multiple features designed to improve the health and longevity of the device. That said, I'm all for individual choice. If a user really wants to risk damage to their device as well as their own vision, they should be free to do so. It does make sense, however, that such an option wouldn't be in plain sight in the Settings app.
Have you tried any 3rd party apps that support High Brightness Mode/HBM? Most will probably require root since HBM is a hardware-level setting (brighter than just moving the slider to max). I don't know if there's a way to do it more permanently with adb or not.

Custom roms are always dimmer than OxygenOS, have you never noticed this?
On OxygenOS I can have my brightness at 50% and see the phone fine, on custom roms I need to have it around 75-80% to get the same brightness

Don't know, I haven't tried custom roms yet on my 9 Pro. But I remember it was like you said on my 5T.
Hello, i get my Red Magic 8Pro today and at first, i had started the Wildlife extreme stress Test. I was confused beceause i get a stability of 77%. In the you Tube Videos that i saw, the stability was at 99%. Before the test I had activated the gaming mode and set the performance to max.
The highest loop was 3729 and the lowest 2919 points
Also the max brightness gets down to the half during the stresstest�
Is this the same at your phones? �
I am also interested in this. The main reason why I would want to buy this phone is because tests show 99% stability in Wildlife, 77% would be unaccaptable. Is this truly the case with all phones or just an isolated issue?
Update:——————————————-> 08.02.23
Yesterday I had a gaming sassion about 45 Minutes in PUBG Mobile. Performance from the phone was set to max again und in pubg I used the lowest graphic settings and 60 fps (more is currently not available).
The phone temperature arrived 36 degrees and the CPU 60 . The Brightness from the screen gets also down in this situation.
Sorry Red Magic, but this is a gaming phone, this should not reduce the display brightness.
My old Red Magic 6R has no fan and gets temperatures over 50 degrees (phone temperature, CPU is higher), has in 3d Mark wildlife stresstest a stability of 97% and no screen dimming .
Is it possible that I’am the only one with this problem ? Or has the EU version other temperature limits ?
Wow, 77% stability instead or the 97% shown in reviews and even the display brightness is auto lowered to reduce heat? Wow, this sounds like a huge fail .from ZTE.... would be nice to hear from other users that is this common and the reviewers are lying to help ZTE sell a garbage phone OR you just have a faulty unit (faulty vapor chamber for example).
Hello im from Germany,
I received my redmagic 8 pro on tuesday this week.
I also started wild life extrem stress test and had no issues with my phone.
Stability was 98%
Highest loop 3715
Lowest loop 3639
My max brightness was stable at 100 % all the time.
Unfortunately i have problems with the under Display selfie cam.
In lowlight conditions i have visible spots with green tint at the Display.
Sorry for my bad English.
Greetings from Germany
WHat do you by low light? When you lower the britghtness or when you are in a dark room (no outside light source).
This under display camera is really starting to become a disappointment ...
When it starts to get darker inside the room or at evenings.
In sunlight or good light conditions the under Display cam is good and hard to see where the spot is.
The quality of this cam is not really good but i don't take selfies so this is ok for me.
That is really disappointing that the camera is physically visible unless you are outside in the sunlight ...

Seeing a lot of users experience this (including me), I think this is a software issue. I hope Nubia will release a fix for this one.

Thank you for your feedback. I have now requested a refund from support. I also have the issue with the selfie camera, but in this case it is very likely a software problem.
