Google is changing how Extra Dim works on the Pixel 10, and it’s so much better

• The new Pixel 10 series integrates the “Extra Dim” feature directly into the main brightness slider, making it easier to access.


• This removes the need for a separate toggle, as Extra Dim now automatically activates when the brightness slider is at its minimum.


• While the feature was tested on older Pixels, it is currently exclusive to the Pixel 10, though it may come to other devices later.

Google’s new Pixel 10 series introduces some surprise display upgrades, focusing more on viewing comfort than on major hardware changes. While the display panels themselves are largely unchanged, they should be easier on the eyes thanks to new features like Adaptive Tone and an enhanced PWM dimming rate. Another notable change is to Extra Dim, a feature that makes the screen even dimmer than its lowest hardware brightness setting. On the Pixel 10, Google has integrated Extra Dim directly into the brightness slider, making it much easier to control than on previous Pixel phones.

Extra Dim is an accessibility feature Google introduced in Android 12 back in 2021. It dims the display “beyond your phone’s minimum brightness” by altering the red, green, and blue pixel data before it’s rendered. This process reduces the intensity of bright colors, making the content appear dimmer without actually lowering the screen’s hardware brightness level.
