    Never understood why smartphones are so super bright by default.

    Because they have to compete with 50k lux outside and then scale to 600 lux indoors, then down to just to a few lux in a darkened room.

    Perhaps the brightness slider needs to be more logarithmic so you can slide from 0.001 percent to 100 percent more easily.

      Also they probably want to avoid the issue of a user accidentally sliding it all the way to the left and then being unable to use their phone lol, there’d be no way to fix it except finding a dark room (if you were even aware of what happened and why your screen “won’t turn on”)
