Android 15 could introduce an “even dimmer” display option that allows the display brightness to go dimmer than normal.
Your phone screen’s minimum brightness level might not be dim enough to use it at night comfortably.
Android already offers an “extra dim” feature that reduces bright colors, therefore dimming the display, but this goes even further.
Even though we know it’s bad for our eyes, many of us still use our phones at night while in bed. While Android doesn’t prevent you from staring at your phone too much, it does offer several display features to help reduce eyestrain. These include a built-in blue light filter and adaptive brightness support, among other features. Not every phone screen can get dim enough to be used comfortably at night, though, which is what a new feature in the upcoming Android 15 update called “even dimmer” may solve.
Adaptive brightness, for those who aren’t aware, uses your device’s ambient light sensor to measure the light intensity of your surroundings. The feature then automatically adjusts your device’s display brightness level based on the ambient light level. However, there are a lot of different display panels in use, each with their own specifications. Higher-end panels support a wider range of brightness levels, while lower-end ones support a lower range. Plus, the mapping between ambient light levels and display brightnesses is device-dependent, so the brightness level that one phone adaptively adjusts to might differ from the level of another one.
