It’s the small things that make a smartphone feel nice to use. With the constant flow of updates, improvements to usability keep finding their way into PureOS. One of the recent improvements is how the screen adjusts brightness. This improvement will help tune screen brightness to more convenient levels.

After the new update, light levels can turned down lower than before.

This is what it looks like just above off.

There is also an improved minimum light level which prevents the screen from completely turning off.

Saving every drop of power is very important on a phone. Improvements on this front continue to find their way into PureOS like the recent change to turn off a regulator when it’s not needed and enabling the ambient light sensors which will allow us to automatically set brightness levels and save even more power.
