screen not so bright on high

So I noticed that the screen isn't as bright as my Note 4 on high brightness , however when I have it set to auto and I'm outdoors it's night and day difference. It's much brighter under auto, even makes my note 4 (on high) seem like it's on medium brightness . Does anyone else notice this? Anyway to make it bright like this all the time? Because full manual brightness seems like medium brightness compared to other phones. A bit disappointed

That was already discussed in many reviews

Correct.
Manual brightness only goes to something like 450 brightness, but auto can go to 750.
No way to change that. Was mentioned in multiple reviews.

I was at the beach today and everytime I'd look at my screen it would start out really bright and then dim to like 90%. I wouldn't be able to get it bright until I locked it again. It was very annoying.

There is an issue with the auto bright on the Edge. Not sure if it is the same on plain S6 though.

There is? Mine seems to work as I would expect...

Yeah turn auto off and the phone will still dim in dark rooms and bright up if you shine a light into it. Also the Edge does not appear to be as bright at max as the standard S6.

Auto brightness works wrong in the dark

I have my new Note9 on wireless charger in the night. When I get it from the charger and check it the brightness it very high. When I turn automatic brightness off and on then the brightness is decreased to correct value.
Now I created a workaround using Tasker but am I alone with this issue?
I remember that similar issue was on S9 and S8, so is Samsung going to put this bug in each new model?

I have yet to find ANY phone that gets attenuation right.
I've found the Note 9 to do OK when cranking it up for well-lit outdoor use,but,it's a bit too dim on the lower end in the other extreme dark/poorly lit situations.
So,it does seem this bug/feature has continued.
Too bad there's not some some fine-tuning baked-in,say, in dev options, to create your own attenuation from lowest to highest brightness (on all phones).

It worked perfect since I bought the phone in Sept until the latest update in Nov. Now the auto brightness did not auto adjust. Either needed me to toggle the auto brightness to OFF and On again or hit the power button to OFF the display and ON back the display.

I find auto brightness to be a bit to bright in lower lighting conditions.
I came back to samsung note 9 (UK model 128gb 6gb) from oneplus 5T which had great battery optimisation and great auto light adjustment.
Overall the oneplus has better face recognition software (quicker and more accurate and you don't have to look at a very particular distance) the fingerprint (sensor) on the oneplus is also quicker.
Hope samsung resolve the bug.

I am also facing the same issue.
I am also facing the same problem brother when I unlock my phone using iris scanner the brightness increases and then doesn't drop to required level in low light please notify me when you find a solution.

Try...
Settings
Biometrics and security
Face recognition
Brighten screen
Turn it off see if it helps.
(assuming that you are using intelligent scan that could be the issue for the bright at the unlock and taking a bit to go down)

Note 9/8 max screen brightness override in the sun with autobrightness switched off

Hey guys so I need to know if there is a sensor issue.I don't use auto brightness no more because if you go in the sun the brightness overrides itself to brighter than max brightness and it is the reason why I've had burn in a few times so far and had to get the screen replaced. But I've also noticed that with auto brightness off but you have the brightness maxed out and go in the sun or shine an led torch at the sensor the screen will kick up to override max brightness sun mode just like when using auto brightness. Is this normal behaviour for the note 9.i know the note 8 goes into ultra bright mode even with auto brightness off ,because I saw a thread on reddit discussing this issue is this a new feauture from oreo update or did it always do that ?
If it's a new feature its bad because out side in tge sun using full brightness in manual mode is pretty safe if you don't keep it that bright too long.but the fact that it will kick into ultra brightness that's an issue that will cause burn in.
Can you guys please test your phone using an led torch shined at the sensor or go in the sun thanks guys

My Note 9 on the latest Pie beta does not go into the max brightness when Adaptive Brightness is off and I hold the phone to a light.

You need to be in manual brighmess mode and crank the slider to max for the max sun mode to kick in if you go into the sun .samsung are forcing this override brightness on us now This can failure burn in

For me, if adaptive brightness is on, whatever brightness I try and set while in sun light, it forces the "Maximised" brightness but if I turn off adaptive brightness and change the brightness manually, it stays how I set it, even in direct sun.
Running N960FPUS2CSB1.

My note 8 and note 9 both do it on the same uk oreo fw.i went to store with my led torch 10 min ago and tested the phones in the store and they all do this.if you have the slider set to max.if you have the slider even slightly off max it won't do it.it must be max

screen brightness issue & screen quality

HI Guys,
I have heard that there is a bug in Android pie update which reduced the brightness of the screen and also reduced the headphone volume output. Are these issues fixed? Also in general how is the screen quality of this phone? Is it bright enough?
Please let me know as I am thinking about buying this phone as it's on sale in India.

No takers?

If you want to leave Auto Brightness enabled and it defaults to too dark, I have used Velis Velis Auto Brightness with great success. Get it on Play Store or on XDA : https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=1910521

Another greenish tint/hue screen, ambient EQ to blame?

Can anyone provide a picture of 2 phones or the same phone with separate pics actually showing ambient EQ doing it's thing? I tried having it on and off for long periods of time and I've noticed what seems like no difference in color temperature. I just got this XL off swappa a few weeks ago and I came from the 2 XL which has a totally different color experience. I like the color and temp on the 2 XL over this 4 XL but what's boggling my mind is the settings and if they are what is causing the issues! I've read that a ton of people are having issues with this greenish tint/hue at lower brightness and it seems as though this phone has the problem as well. It's killing me as the screen always looks like I have a low level of night mode on, it's super warm and will turn grays to greenish hues at lower brightness. I wonder if ambient EQ that is supposed to be dynamically adjusting screen temp and colors based on ambient light is just basically broken and THAT is what is causing so many issues with the color temp and washed out vibrancy. I've tried all the suggested settings about forcing 90Hz, AOD, etc etc but nothing seems to change this. Infact 90Hz just being on in the normal display settings makes it worse. I did a split screen with settings and chrome on this website (I have dark theme enabled) and toggled smooth display and I can see it get MORE greenish when on so I've turned it off for now. Anyone else think that ambient EQ might be the root of the issues? By the way, I factory reset this phone like 4 times already when I first got it thinking that might help but it has not. Thoughts??

Blame samsung. Oneplus 7t which also has 90hz refresh rate suffers the same issue
