Following the release of the first developer preview of Android 12, we have seen many new features, including a dedicated trash bin and a one-handed mode that Google is currently working on. Now, inside the latest developer preview 3 of Android 12, a new “Extra Dim” feature has been discovered that lets users darken their screens further than the lowest brightness setting on their device.
The “Extra Dim” feature is aimed towards smartphones that come with not-so-dim displays and remain bright enough even after users set them to the lowest possible brightness setting. So, this feature will allow the system to dim the brightness of these displays to a point further than what the OEM might have set.
Apart from this, you can also go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Extra Dim to access a few additional settings for the feature. This includes an “Intensity” slider, a toggle for an “Extra Dim” shortcut, and a toggle for the feature to remain turned on after a device reboot.
