brightness issue

Hi everyone. I haven't seen the related kinds of thread so I decided to post it. My device model is G3223.

tl;dr: It's too bright at minimum brightness during nighttime.

So during daytime the screen looks perfectly fine, no problem reading under the sunlight. But when night comes the problem arises because the phone can't go dimer, which means that the phone is still quite bright compare to my other devices when I am trying to read in bed even though the brightness is set at minimum.

Does anyone also facing this issue? Or if it's device model related?

I have the G3221 and I have the same issues. But I found 2 solutions to the problem. (well kind of) if you disable automatic brightness ? setting it will be way too bright. After enabling the auto brightness you can lower it even further. But if it still feels too bright, you can change the white balance settings to 255 which will lower the brightness even further without actually affecting anything. I hope it helps a little. ?

Problem solved. Thanks a lot. I don't know why Sony doesn't allow us to change the brightness to the real minimum point without using automatic brightness.
For white balance I set my phone to a warm colour. For (255,255,255) [r,g,b] the screen looks too cold though, and it can also lower the brightness. I am currently using (255,147,0) so it's at least better than the original setting (0,0,0)

Speaking of warm tones, sony also hides the blue light filter in the actions section which is almost invisible and many people don't even go there. You cannot enable it otherwise. They need work on their stuff.

You can use the Twilight app to use the phone at night without stressing your eyes. It works for me when I'm reading things. ?

And of course you can use this to lower the intensity of the screen's light if not the overall brightness.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your advice. As far as I know, apps such as twilight only draw an overlay on the screen, which means it actually doesn't affect the brightness in any ways. It just seems to be darker.

In contrast, decron04's solution can actually decrease the brightness. Don't know why Sony doesn't allow users to minimize brightness without using auto brightness.
