- Pixel phones have a default flashlight brightness of 50%, and unlike many Android devices, they lack a built-in way to adjust brightness directly from Quick Settings.
- Users can increase the flashlight brightness to 100% by using Google’s Magnifier app.
- Alternatively, third-party apps are available that allow Pixel phone users to adjust flashlight brightness.
Samsung and many other Android phones let you adjust the brightness levels of the flashlight from the same place where you turn on the torch. But I’ve always felt a lack of this feature on Pixel phones. When you swipe down to access the Quick Settings menu on a Pixel phone, you can turn the flashlight on and off; there’s no way to adjust its intensity.
