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.

Recently bought mate 10. Compare to my current mate 9, I noticed the mate 10 screen brightness isn't as bright as the mate 9. Wonder why manufacturer decrease the maximum brightness of newer phone.

Max brightness is reached only when in auto mode+sunlight. Check the gsmareana review. Otherwise indoors the brightness is lower and cannot be manually toggled to reach the max brightness the display is capable off. Personally the brightness is more than enough for me in real usage. I use auto brightness and toggle it to about 50% brightness.
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.
I just bought a 3m old S10 and unfortunately the auto max brightness is a bit lower in direct sunlight than my 1y old S8, while according to reviews it should be significantly higher.
I can still read the screen outdoors in the sun, but with sunglasses on it is a bit more difficult than my S8. It certainly does not look as "eye melting" bright as some reviews mentioned.
Both have everything set up correctly to allow for auto max brightness outdoors (Adaptive brigtness on, Vivid mode).
Now I am wondering if this an isolated issue with my device.
Has anyone else noticed this in comparison with a S8 or S9?
Has anyone had this problem and found a fix?
I've manually set the brightness of my Zenfone 8 to about 90%. Occasionally when I open the phone it has been reset to a very low value and is difficult to see.
Adaptive brightness is off. Low brightness DC dimming is off. Night light is off,
