Minimum brightness - Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Real Lif

You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the Redmi Note 9 Pro's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.

Can anyone tell...
whether this phone uses PWM flickering, if so...
which brightness percentage does it start at, and what is the lowest frequency?
Does this phone use the exact same screen as the Redmi Note 6S?
That'll be all thanks

Screen flickering / PWM not detected.
In comparison: 50 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18284 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 2500000) Hz was measured.
We found no evidence of PWM flickering. Response times were too high to satisfy the demands of competitive gamers

Configure Automatic brightness

Hi, does anybody know if there any possibility to configure min/max level of automatic brightness. All I need is to increase the min brightness (it's too dark for me) - is there any app or some kind of "registry" hack for that?
Hmmm... the minimum brightness on mine is too bright, IMO. Laying in bed with the lights off, it's almost blinding...

Try to see anything on a screen in a room, filled by a sunlight. Is it still too bright? I mostly use this device while sunlight, not in bed
I find both cases annoying.

Bump.... Anyone able to figure out how to do this?
Now Froyo has improved the auto brightness somewhat we really need a hack to increase the minimum brightness or just increase the auto brightness level by say 2 notches. Its always just a bit darker than I want it.

Couldn't agree more.
New autobrightness is pretty much perfect for me during the day! I haven't tested it at night yet though.

The screen's refresh rate?

I'm curious, what is the Nexus 7's refresh rate in Hz? I'm currently halfway through making a game, and I'm getting about 57 FPS constant. I remember the Galaxy S Captivate has a refresh rate of around 56Hz, so it wouldn't surprise me if this screen is also lower than 60, but I need to make sure in case I need some optimizations on my end. Thanks!

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Xiaomi Poco F1 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.

The phone substantially remains cooler than other smartphones even flagship phones like the one plus 6. A pubg gameplay comparison for an hour with the one plus 6 showed that the Poco f1 was 2°C cooler than the one plus 6. This is because of the liquid cooling inside Poco f1 which helps reducing heat improving performance, which definitely doesn't come in any other budget range smartphones.
I'd say it does get warm but gets cool faster
After running benchmark tests, it got to the temperature of 43 degrees as per battery stats but got cooler within 2-3 minutes.
I don't know if this temperature is substantial but it felt substantial to my hands!

I have installed CPU MONITOR app from playstore, so I could see while installing all the playstore apps (moving from old device to Poco) the CPU temp was running between 45-50c. Now while no installations happening CPU shows 35-40c and unit feels pretty cold, not warm as before, so its good. I guess intense of apps installations indeed can cause a heat, oneplus 5t also had certain heat but i think it was less heat than poco during such case of intense playstore apps installations. But, perhaps could be SD845 gets more warm then SD835 in such cases.
Another thing which isnt clear, when you plug the charger it doesnt say if its quick charge mode or regular charge, I really expect Poco devs to get this one fixed, should be an easy fix.
Hi there, what are the normal high temperatures for the CPU under load? Mine is adleing around 40c but on the 15 min Antutu stress-test it was peaking above 90 and it was really hot around the back camera. It is with the latest 9.6.18. Is it normal or I got an defect unit. Thanks.

Try some heavy games which uses Wi-Fi like PUBG Mobile or any alike. If you are getting temps above 45 (given that you have ambient temp 25-35), then you should be worried
My phone is also running hot, even at rest the temperature is high, liquid is just a marketing tactic i guess as it's doing nothing. Oneplus at the same ambient temperature is running a lot cooler. Problem is now i can't return it.

Same with me also, did the antutu stress test, was peaking above 90??
90° celcius or farenheit ??

Camera fire
the phone gets quite hot during the use of the camera. 10 minutes of using the camera for a photo with the AI ​​turned off causes it to heat up to 50 degrees Celsius. It also consumes a lot of battery power. For the first time I see that the use of the camera was on a load comparable to the game in Pubg

Really hot? 90oC will burn out your phone.
don't care about stress tests but in day to day usage with long pubg sessions never felt hot anywhere in device.
heating issue with some people may be due to their excessive excitement as the tend to install lot of rubbish apps to test their device.

The phone does not heat at all even after long and strenuous gaming sessions. All praise for the processor and the cooling tech.

For the current update as of writing this, the phone gets quite hot when playing pubg this resulting to thermal throttling which causes a few issues when playing heavy games such as pubg. Hope they fix this soon

You're really gonna want to check that out. Even laptop's processors are considered hot when it hits 80. It's definitely you don't want to keep around since it will damage other components like the battery.
With intensive gaming for 2hour or so mine only gets as high as 42c
it heats up to concern levels even on various custom roms , speciall when screen brightness is to max
Hi All, I got the POCO F1 today. CPUZ shows core temps beyond 53 degrees Centigrade. Quite warm! Battery temp 43 deg C. I am on Android 10 stock.
Can you please post screen shots of Core and Battery temperatures?

You just need to use a semiconductor refrigeration handle for mobile phone as i did the temperature stay below 40 while playing in extreme settings

Phone still gets too hot if playing game in a long hours; PUBG (Max Setting) plus live streaming using Omlet Arcade apps, and i also encounter frame drop once temperature reach 47 degree C, using Tencent Version 12GB-Ram (China ROM). Armoury Crate for China ROM doesnt have "Temperature Control" option at "Scenario Profiles" , soo maybe this is the problem? Not sure.
The rest of the user(s), please share ur thoughts and experience over here!
Pubg at hdr/extreme is the only time temps crossed 44°C. Didn't notice any throttling still. When comparing side by side with my friend's OnePlus 7T, the heat & frame drops are almost similar in everygame. Using the back cover, I could feel the warmth, but not at all uncomfortable.
Weirdly Dota Underloads at max settings was the most taxing with the highest battery drain & most frame drops, but still didn't touch 47°C. It's the Indian variant and ambient temperature was 30°C throughout.
area around the vent heats up easily during gaming. prone to game* crash due to overheating when running max gpu for extended periods of time with no ventilation(was also testing game genie livestream function tho). recommend putting some kind of case that covers the frame adjacent to the vent area for minimum discomfort.
3/10 when gpu maxed. 6~7ish when moderate load
*game is honkai impact 3 if you want to know. late-game content burns the gpu at max graphics

Try playing pubg max setting and stream (using live stream app) or screen recording, u'll notice phone will get hot and temperature will hit 47 degree C.
Are u on WW ROM or CN ROM? Cause CN ROM doesn't have any temperature control at armoury crate

WW. Yes, it heats up quickly while streaming at hdr/extreme. Touches 46°C after 35mins. Pretty sure I'll feel the heat if I remove the back cover. I'm not surprised though, since my acer nitro 7 heats up while recording pubgM at hdr, let alone streaming. Streamers might have to turn on the air-conditioner.

Guys, ROG2 is design for heavy user gaming WITH AeroActive COOLER fan !, this parts is not include with 8GB Tencent version (Which why come with cheaper price).
For you have HEAT problem and don't have AeroActive COOLER fan,should consider buying this parts.
I am able to stream vainglory at full settings and aerocooler on and it stays at 41°c or so. The heat is never unbearable and have yet to have any game ever really drop frames to the point it was noticed. I mean 115 frames or 120 is not a big deal. I am using the worldwide version with 12gb ram and played vainglory while streaming for ~2 hours. The note 10+ was noticable in frame drops as it went from 60 to ~40 with the same setup. The heat dissipation is done quite well as far as I can see. Also the aero active cooler at max setting for the game profiles help a lot. Also charging it while doing the same thing will however make it much worse with the heat but still not hard enough on the cpu/gpu to cause concern .
I can confirm that Armoury Crate (Temperature Option) for CN & WW ROM does make the different for gameplay; Once i played PUBG with max setting and applied the temperature setting from WW armoury crate, i never encounter any frame drop once temperature hit 47 degree C.
I mean the armoury crate is not a gimmick and note that i didnt put on my active cooler when playing PUBG
