Google Integrates Extra Dim Into Pixel 10 Brightness Slider

The move makes low-light control simpler by triggering deeper dimming at the slider’s minimum.

Overview

  • Extra Dim now activates automatically at the lowest brightness setting on the Pixel 10 and deactivates when brightness is raised.
  • Google has removed the separate Extra Dim toggle and shortcuts after folding the feature into the primary slider.
  • The integration is currently limited to the Pixel 10 lineup, though reports suggest a broader rollout could follow.
  • Extra Dim originated in Android 12 and reduces perceived brightness by altering RGB pixel values beyond the panel’s hardware minimum.
  • Pixel 10 display updates emphasize comfort with Adaptive Tone and a higher PWM dimming rate rather than major panel changes.
