You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the LG Nexus 5X's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.

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.
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)
The Broadcom® BCM47755 location hub is a single-chip device that combines location awareness capabilities with the typical functions of a sensor hub. The combination provides synergistic benefits that cannot be achieved with multiple ICs, such as low power consumption, higher accuracy, reduced footprint and a smaller BOM.
The BCM47755 supports two frequencies (L1+L5), and as a result, achieves lane-level accuracy outdoors and much higher resistance to multipath and reflected signals in urban scenarios, as well as higher interference and jamming immunity.
Furthermore, the BCM47755 incorporates numerous technologies that enable ultralow power consumption in both the location function and the sensor hub function. The device features a low-power RF path, a Big/Little CPU configuration composed of an ARM-based 32-bit Cortex-M4F (CM4), an ARM-based Cortex-M0 (CM0), and is built in a 28 nm process.

I comment on real life performance. I cycle 5 miles to and from work and use Strava to track my ride.
The time between opening Strava and getting a lock on my position is insanely quick. Pretty much instant.
Also, on other phones GPS tracking would to sap my battery. With these activities and typical usage throughout the day I have only gone through 30% of the battery. Took it off charge 15 hours ago.
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?
Hi all, I have been thinking lately about moving to WQHD resolution instead of the FHD that I'm already on. Can someone please share the battery impact and the actual screen sharpness? I have always maintained that the smaller the screen the more difficult it is to discern the actual difference between FHD and WQHD. Surely, the difference is day and night on larger screen sizes i.e. 50 inches and above. Is it really the case on our screens too? I'm on adaptive refresh rate and plan to keep it as is.

Not much of a difference in battery , may be like 30 mins of less SOT.
Gpu takes a bit of more load , and thus the overall graphics might be like 5-10% slow .
Thats my opinion, might be different for others
The difference is nearly imperceptible, wouldn't worry too much about both WQHD+ and adaptive refresh rate
Buying a phone at this price but not using the highest possible resolution is quite useless
why cant you just TRY IT YOURSELF?

You could NOT have used the CAPS and I would have still understood your point!

Hi.
I tried both WQHD+ and FHD+ with adaptive refresh rate on for a few days each - but I couldn't discern any significant differnce in battery life with day to day usage. I'm not saying there wasn't any... common sense dictates that there must be some, but I wansn't able to appreciate it.
I was very hard pressed to tell the differnce between the two resolutions on my screen as well. When I went down to HD+, I could immediately detect the drop in quality. But between FHD and WQHD I couldn't tell initially. Over time, i leatnt to discern the differnce up close (really close) becasue I knew what to look for - but the difference was not very big. So I tested it out on my family members, and not a single person could tell the difference with confidence (none are tech nerds) - all they said is "Wow! nice screen, what do you want me to look for? Looks the same as before..."
But this was all done in the first 2 weeks since I bought the phone, so usage was erratic and frenzied. I hadn't settled into a regular routine with the phone, it being all new and shiny - installing and uninstalling new apps, tinkering around etc - so i don't think I can honestly testify as to the battery life difference between FHD and WQHD.
But I can definitely tell that my eyes found it very difficult to tell the difference in quality, even today. So I just kept it on FHD+ and forgot about it till I came across your post. Maybe it's time to try out the experiment again with a more settled down phone... as I sit here typing this on WQHD resolution, trying to imagine if the FHD+ looked any different 15 minutes ago.

I tried it and didn't see much difference so keeping it at wqhd and adaptive.
Same with 4g and 5g in my area.
Everything is on adaptive. 5g and wqhd.
Go on and use it. That's why you paid for the phone, if you don't use the feature s what's the point?
Just use the best possible resolution. No point getting a phone like this and turn things off is how i look at it.
70% of the time, on my phone: I'm just messaging/calling or using the browser to view text-based content with a few images here and there.
30% of the time: HD Video, photos, camera, video-calls, etc.
So, I do this:
(1) Remove Animations (under Accessibility or just use Finder/search to locate it) -- because I don't need
(2) Force Dark in Developer Options (goes away after a reboot, so just reactivate this).
(3) Keep the phone in 720p60fps, full-temperature Comfort Shield, Power Saving mode, AOD off, Limit CPU to 70%, Decrease brightness by 10%, etc.
(4) Use a Bixby Routine to go into and come out of this low-quality mode as desired.
(5) I have all deviceidle and other power saving settings turned off.

Now your phone will always stay dark on reboot. You're welcome.
