I don't want "daddy Samsung" to decide when my phone can reach maximum brightness or not [even if it is to protect my eyes or save battery etc..].

So, how do I enable my phone [in any way nessecary] so that I can manually adjust it to maximum/peak brightness via the slider, without being in sunlight?

What is wrong with disabling auto brightness in Settings and using the slider manually to maximise the brightness? Or do I understand your issue wrongly?

Most modern phones won't reach peak brightness unless they are in direct sunligt (by the light sensor). The slider at maximum brightness isn't really the phone's peak brightness. The slider is "capped" unless one modifies it somehow (the idea is to protect one's eyes, save battery life etc...).

For example, on gsmarena the specs for the S23's display are: "1200 nits (HBM), 1750 nits (peak)".
So, the slider only brings the phone's display to 1200 nits, while the display's full capacity is actually 1750 nits.

Didn't know that and learnt something for today. Sorry for not being able to help since my knowledge of Android does not stretch that much.
