[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] MrMike2182:
I would set the brightness to halfway and disable the auto brightness setting because if it's on the sensor is constantly checking and changing the level and you don't really need it.. I only turn it up high when I'm outside and can't see it very well but in the house and work the halfway mark is more than enough for me.. You actually get used to it. This is a list of things that can be safely disabled and I'm listing them by their running name so if you don't know what it is then Google it first.

There's more that can be disabled I'm sure but this is just to help get people started.
