Adaptive Brightness is very faulty

[jaibalaji2020]

The adaptive brightness is super faulty. Screen always gets darkened even in a brightly lit room. Phone expects the light to reflect on it all the time to stay in optimum brightness, otherwise it gets dark pretty quick. I'm not using any screen protector either. This is actually very annoying and a major blocker when watching any video content or even any simple task on the phone. Please fix it pretty quick. This is a very basic thing. Thanks!

This issue is the same with so many others. Adaptive Brightness is a nightmare if you are in a room. It constantly gets adjusted to the lowest brightness if the light isn't reflecting on to the sensor directly. Is this a hardware issue?
Few other issues
- If the adaptive brightness is on and if I manually adjust the brightness, the screen just stays with the manually adjusted brightness level. Doesn't matter if I enter a dark room or if I step outside where there is direct sunlight. The adpative brightness doesn't adapt to the lighting conditions.
- many times even in a dark room the adaptive brightness never goes to 0%. It stays at 15%. This hurts my eyes so badly.

I'm just curious is your room with the central light on the ceiling in the middle, or is there no central light with lots of lamps everywhere possible in the room?

Wow I think the light sensor is seriously flawed on my phone. This is from zenfone 6z. Notice how even a small tilt away from direct light makes the sensor think there is no light
This is in the same room and the phone is Samsung S9+

It is not only your phone, mine do the exact same thing. Before the ZF6 I've had the nexus 5 for 6 years and I've never face this type of problem. Thanks for posting a video.

I'm afraid to remove the tempered glass. Even after I remove it and it behaves the same it would be awful
