The S22 Ultra manual brightness (adaptive brightness off) is significantly brighter than the Note 20 Ultra.
Both had the brightness slider just 1 notch below 1 below the orange level of the slider. I did not go to the max brightness because it was blowing out the picture too much.
When at max brightness with the new setting "Extra Brightness" switched on the difference is even larger!
Not only did Samsung significantly improve the manual brightness, but they added a new setting "Extra Brightness" that boosts it even more! It makes the difference even more huge!
So Samsung fixed the biggest complaint I had of the Note 20 Ultra! The manual brightness was too dim. It was a complaint many people had of the Note 20 Ultra, as shown in this thread.... https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/note-20-ultra-less-vivid-less-bright-than-note-20.4144727/
So if you have been disappointed with display brightness on your current phone, then this could be your next phone!
Also this is the 1st Samsung device that in my opinion actually does decent with adaptive brightness turned on. However I will still likely keep it off moat the time unless I am in super bright out door areas. It still dims a bit too much indoors.
I am surprised no one else commented. Am I seriously the only person who noticed this display is significantly brighter than their previous Samsung phone?

Anyone else getting a slight grey banding effect when viewing white pages on the dimmist brightness setting?
Would this be acceptable?
Dim you phone to the lowest setting then go to the Google page.

Maybe its normal with the AMOLED? Dont know
I had the same problem on my SGS2! I sent it to Samsung and they gave me a new phone for free But you have to take another phone for about 10 days :-( that was hard for me! :-D

if it's common I think I'll put up with it.
it's a side effect of the amoled and oled displays that white appears a bit grey or imo a bit blue

Ah ok, was thinking about something like that.
I think its ok, because it is only just with the lowest level of brightness.
I never really use such a low brightness.
Ok, so the title might have been misleading, BUT..... There is a way. (kind of)
First let me briefly explain. This is the S5's Power Saving Mode. Not to be confused with ultra power saving mode. This turns EVERYTHING gray scale to increase battery life.
SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW
When using Power Saving Mode it limits maximum performance, reduces the screen refresh rate and turns off the touch key light to maximize battery life. These can all be turned off in the "Restrict performance" settings and ONLY use gray scale.
This might not be new to some of you that are "settings happy" but for the occasional n00b, I thought I'd shed some dark.
Steps:
Pull down your notifications and expand all options.

Long press on "Power Saving" NOT Ultra Power Saving.
Turn Power saving mode on
UN-check Block background data and make sure "Restrict Performance" is turned off
Turn on Gray Scale
You are DONE
Keep in mind this will make EVERYTHING gray scale. Including pictures and videos. I was getting tired of the stock colors and figured this was a simple walk around for someone that doesn't mind gray scale.
Battery Saving Tips for the Honor 10
There are so many different ways to preserve your battery life in EMUI 8.1. The first is turning on your power saving mode in the settings. You can choose between Power Saving Mode or Ultra Power Saving Mode. Each of these options will show you how much time you can squeeze out of what’s left of your charge.

Another great way to save some juice is the custom screen resolution settings. You can lower your screen resolution from 1080 to 720. This also helps quite a bit with performance in some situations. There's also an option for Smart Resolution which will automatically lower your screen resolution to help save power.
Then there's the battery optimizer which will monitor your phone to find out what you can do to get better battery life. It will check to see what apps are still running after the screen is shut off, what screen brightness you should be at and what screen timeout you should use.
App launch gives you the ability to restrict specific apps from auto-launching. This will save your battery as well as free up system RAM.
If you have any more battery saving tips, leave them in the comments.
Just realized in my settings brightness says it's set to 80% at its lowest and the only way I can make it dimmer it to switch on "extra dim" and even at that it's not especially dark. Is this normal? My brightness slider can't go any lower and we're still at 80%?
I haven't had any trouble with my brightness slider, nor using extra dim in the past two weeks. Try a reboot?

Tried it, no joy. When your brightness slider is all the way dark, go into your settings to display and tell me what percentage it says when you get a chance

Says 0% and of course looks much dimmer than this screenshot - I do not have Extra dim on at this time:

Mine is the opposite. It struggles with Ambient light, staying dim in brighter light more than just occasionally
Hi everyone,
I've just bought a brand-new OnePlus 9 (8/128) and I love it so far, except for a slow scroll in some applications that I more or less solved by fiddling with Dark Mode and color schemes.
One thing I'd gotten used on my Galaxy S20 FE that I can't enable on the OP is Always-On Display working all the time, not just during the day. I've found the AOD settings and I can either disable it, or enable it during a certain time bracket, or during "the day".
I've tried to set it to work from 00h00 to 23h59 just now, so I'll see if it works through the night after that one-minute gap just before midnight or not, but I'd like it to work fulltime, so that I don't have to handle the phone at night just to check what time it is.
Is there a hidden setting somewhere that can do that in a more straightforward fashion?

Thanks, but on my French-UI phone, this translates into "la journée", which means that after a few minutes of total darkness at night, the AOD turns itself off.
In this case, "All day" doesn't mean 24/7. I suppose the light sensor must cause the AOD to call it a night too...
I have a 2115 ROM, which, if I'm not mistaken, is supposed to be for North America. Maybe AOD settings are different in other markets?
