After consulting UK users from Manchester, Edinburgh, and Birmingham, it became clear that the ambient light sensor plays a pivotal role in how auto brightness behaves. Understanding this sensor can help troubleshoot and optimise display performance. What Is an Ambient Light Sensor? The ambient light sensor detects surrounding light levels and communicates with the phone’s software to adjust screen brightness accordingly: Located usually near the front camera or top bezel Helps conserve battery by reducing brightness in low-light conditions Prevents eye strain by increasing brightness in bright environments UK users in Glasgow and Brighton often notice that covering the sensor with a finger or case can temporarily affect brightness, highlighting its sensitivity....
