Rate this thread to express how well you can see the OnePlus 6'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.

Does anyone else feel that after the pie update, the brightness slider has become biased towards keeping the screen darker?
I used to keep it at just below half, now for similar brightness I have to keep it at around 75 %

same here. confirmed.
Same as me. It's really annoying!
If rooted, you can use the "better adaptive brightness" module. I found it too bright for my liking, but a lot of people do like it.

Post updating my OP6 to Android Pie, I did find that the screen brightness was much darker than the previous one. I wasn't sure if there was a glitch during the update or the brightness slider is misbehaving. Earlier I used to keep the device at the static brightness level at 25% but post the update the slider shows minimum brightness at 60%. Hopefully the next update will resolve this issue.
Outdoor visibility? Isn't this the title of this thread?

The problem is this is new google adaptive brightness and once You update to pie the level of brightness has changed to lower as per their data collected in the past. So many people have been keeping their brightness level to low so the high brightness level has been reduced to get more lower levels. For now the only way is root.

That does make sense, but then the question is, does the battery drain at the same rate at the new 75% levels as it did for the older comparative brightness of say 30%. Technically it shouldn't right? Seeing as the brightness is the same. I haven't tested it, but it feels like it drains faster now. Anybody tested this?

When I put the brightness slider in settings all the way down, it still seems pretty bright. That is still pretty bright especially in a dark room. Beautiful brightness widget reports that the current minimum is 11%. From doing a little reaserch, I know that the absolute lowest level that the backlight can run is at 3%, and that in some hero roms the lowest you can set it to is 6%. Does anyone know which files control brightness? I am sure that we can get the screen running at least 5% lower but I need some help figuring out what to change. BTW, I am running CM5T7. Long live XDA!

The screen can dim down to impressively low levels. You have to turn off auto brightness though and drop the slider all the way down.
It has great dim brightness. I usually leave it low, see screenshot, but for the past 2-3 days, I've left it on auto.

I use Lux still now for a few years and did notice with auto unchecked the Note 5 dims low. Lux just automate's it for me.

Much too bright for my liking. I could really go for it to be around half of what he minimum is (I know to turn auto brightness off and turn it all the way down)
I use Lux. Excellent.

Agreed. 2nits is none the less very dim. But the S5 and I believe the Note 4/S6....At least the S5 went as low as 1 nit. So half lol
Ok, just to be honest, the miniium brightness was bright on this phone when it was on jellybean 5.1.0. However, since the update to marshmallow 6.0.1, the new min brightness is WAY too low. Even when you adjust the autobrightness slider, the sensor still is picking up way too LOW. Too bad, one of the weakness of this phone

When I read in bed in the early morning darkness, it doesn't hurt my eyes. Works especially well with the Moto display feature that reduces blue light whenever activated.
Blue light filter is a bit more mild than what I've used on other devices, but I think I prefer it that way, cuz I don't want my image to look perma-orange.
Minimum brightness is very good. Easy to read at night without hurting my eyes.
Leftmost ~25% of Brightness Slider Ineffective
This thing doesn't go nearly dim enough. As stated in the title, the slider seems ineffective at all when sliding down to below 25 or so %. Lame.

Turn off auto-brightness. The auto scaling will only go so low if it thinks the room is lighter than you want. When set to manual, the brightness goes very low.
Thanks. That helps a little, but still doesn't go as low as I'd hoped. Pretty sure with my old Nexus 6, I could get it so low I couldn't even read it. With this, the lowest is still not low enough.
to get the screen dim the way I like, I use the "screen filter" app.
As for the night mode, the screen on the x4 has a bit of a blue cast to my
eyes so I just run the night mode all the time. The whites are a bit orangeish
but I'd rather see that than a blue cast.
Now if only I could turn of the notification icon for that and
everytime i unlock the x4.
Great display.

Hello, I have recently bought the Motorola One Action at Amazon Spain and I really love the phone except that I find the screen brightness to be very low and dark. When comparing it to other phones it only becomes more obvious that the brightness is super-low. The phone only has an acceptable brightness at 100% and I don't think that's normal. I read on various websites that the brightness of the phone with full white screen and with Max brightness should be 459 cd/m² and while testing it with the light meter I'm getting 360 cd/m²; at maximum... Is it possible that I got a defective unit? Could it be a software issue?

Did u try to disable the adaptive brightness?
Yes, it is disabled.
In my opinion Minimal brightness is way too high. Cant complain about maximum brightness.
I also bought from Amazon Spain and the same problem. What was your solution if I may ask?
Perhaps everything could be solved with a custom rom
Running EvokutionX GSI and minimum brightness is perfect. Looks like Moto is restricting this on official firmware for reasons unknown...
guess we need a maximum brightness thread also. I live in the sunshine state, and find almost all phones aren't bright enough on a full sun day. This one included. But, as far as the minimum brightness is concerned, it is quite acceptable even in the darkest room. I do run the dark mode also.
I have been playing with the brightness levels, adaptive, etc, etc, etc and I have noticed that my Note 8 is brighter or "easier to read" on a bright sunny day.... Anyone else notice that this screen isn't cutting it or is hard to read when the ambient light is really bright?
Exactly the same observation from me. The Note 8 display is definitely better.
Is it only with auto brightness? I'm wondering if they made the lighting less aggressive to help battery life with the 120Hz screen and all.
In manual mode, maxed out brightness, the Note20 Ultra should smoke your Note8.

With adaptive brightness on it is brighter than the Note 8 (both phones sitting with a torch shone in the sensors) however in normal use on full brightness the Note 8 is definitely better.
I feel they limited the max manual brightness on the Note 20, probably for battery life and to prevent damage/burn in with the display.

I just played with a Note9 and the Note20 Ultra was CLEARLY brighter in manual mode at max brightness. It wasn't even a competition. So I doubt the Note8 would fare any better. I wonder if yours has an issue of some sort.
heads up, you may have to first activate "Performance Mode" under the battery settings. Once you apply there is also an option to keep brightness neutral, add 5% or 10%. As a Note 8 user remember activating this long ago then reverted back to "Optimized" while keeping the brightness as is.
