The S23+ is too bright and not bright enough at the same time (self.android)

I don't know what it is with this display, but I've never experienced something like this despite owning multiple amoled and oled phones.

The whites are blindingly white even at low brightness. On a more balanced image, the displays seems not bright enough even at max. Since text is often white, it hurts to read text. And outside, the display is barely readable.

Am I the only one having difficulty with this display? I used to have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and a Note9 before this phone, both running always at full brightness too. Now I don't venture above 20% indoors.

I use a program called pixel filter to make my screen less bright, it overlays a black grid, with LCDs this brings the brightness down. however with ovalids it actually straight up turns off the pixels (so it saves some battery too)

I have sometimes have to use my phone in very dim environments. so using this helps me a lot.

app is on fdroid

Samsung has this feature build in and its called 'Extra dim' or similar. Its a quick setting one can get when customizing the tiles.

I used to use third party apps too, but it was annoying that you couldnt grant permissions or install new apps without deactivating the dimming app since it was a security risk to have an app which draws over other apps.

Extra dim is an Android setting not specific to Samsung

Good to know. Never noticed it with my last phone (one plus). Its often not that clear which option is a Samsung addon and which is not.

Yeah, it's understandable. With OnePlus it could be either they disabled it or it came with a version of Android that you didn't get on it
