Does anyone use this phone on full brightness and if so what is the battery life like? just curious because i'm thinking about using it on 100%
Thanks
Dude I'm sure using it at 100% brightness will kill your retina before it kills your battery.
Seriously though, I think they made some changes to the brightness setting in one of the more recent firmwares, because it shines with the intensity of a thousand suns now at 100%, compared to what I remember it's like originally. I used to set it at 50% brightness, now it's at 25% or so but with the same perceived luminosity level (non-scientific of course).
Do you really need it at 100% constantly?

how much diffrence between Auto backlight&manual in battery consuming
is there any experience ???
nobody knows?
One week ago, I changed the option for backlight to 5 min instead of normal 30sec. I even changed the backlight on while making calls (tweak cabfile). I don't notice any more batteryconsumption. This is a overall experience.
I think more brightness on the display will be more battery consuming than backlight settings.

Thanks! I think you are right
What ever option you choose that cuts Electricity flow saves Batts.
So yes turning the screen all the way down when only doing calls and at night helps a lot!
Note also that the auto-dim function doesn't ever dim the light right down (no matter how dark it gets) - the lowest it reaches is equivalent to the manual brightness level 3.

I was just wandering what level most of you set your backlight to and how it affects battery life. Also, do you have auto-backlight set to 'on'?
Just trying to find a good balance between brightness and battery and so thought your experience would really help.
Thanks,

Set to Auto here. No problems with battery life so haven't tried adjusting manually. I personally like the way it manages the back-light depending on ambient light
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.

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 searched and found no real answer. My question is does it use more battery life to have adaptive brightness on which allows my screen backlight to dim way more on default. I've read and been told leaving it off is best however with it off my screen can only din to what appears to be about 25 percent. Does the service running to adjust the brightness use more battery then just leaving it at its lowest with adaptive brightness off?

The problem for battery drainage with adaptive setup is when the brightness gets cranked up to high in a well lit surrounding even though at times its unnecessary. With it off you can simply apply a brightness percentage that is okay for you in most conditions like when you're mostly in the same office for hours.

Loving the Mi 8, especially after the 10.1.1 update, however the "auto" brightness Useless. Virtually every time you unlock the phone in low(ish) light its reset to a very low setting. I've had phones from many manufacturers over the last few years and they all seem to have managed to string together a half decent auto-brightness offering.
Does anyone know of this is something they're working on?
I have the same issue
I love everything about the new update but that issue made me hate the update. Anyone with a fix? Appreciate it.
Not sure if the same brightness bug is impacting AOD too, which reacts to light levels but so aggressively at night that it actually turns off.
Auto Brightness on MIUI has always been dodgy as ****. There's workarounds - check out Velis auto brightness - but they're an additional battery drain since the app is constantly running.
I felt like it's not that bad on the MI 8 though.

Just giving Lux Lite Dash a go and seems to be doing the trick. You can manually adjust when needed but then commit to memory for the next time a specific lux is reached. I guess over time, like most phones, it will then be customised how you like it.
Will see what battery life is like though...
So far so good. Battery seems to be at the same level with Lux Lite Dash running.
Lux Lite had issues in the end. The max brightness was lower than that of the phone. Switched to Velis which seems to have an option to allow the phones auto (and max brightness) to kick in when there's bright sunlight.
