Smartphones have a special sensor that can tell how bright or dark the room is. When it’s sunny, the screen gets brighter so you can see better. When it’s dark, the screen gets dimmer to save battery and make things easier on your eyes. It's like having a tiny helper inside your phone that adjusts the light automatically.
Examples
- Your phone's screen gets brighter when you're outside in the sun.
- At night, your phone's screen dims so it doesn't hurt your eyes.
- When you turn on your phone in a dark room, it automatically becomes dimmer.
