Tell me your "adaptive brightness" success stories

I've learned to live with Pie's recents and OnePlus' gestures but damned if I have the patience for "adaptive brightness." I get what it's supposed to do and I dig it :) but either it's a very slow learner or I'm not training it correctly. So if you managed to get it to "work," especially under artificial lighting, please share.

I am passionate about being able to see the screen in sunlight. It's my impression that at a minimum, for so-called high brightness mode to engage, adaptive brightness ...

What is the one thing that you really want to see in Pixel 4?

I really want to see multiple cameras in Pixel 4, just to see what Google Camera can achieve with multiple cameras, when it could do so much wonders with just a single camera.

What do you want to see?...

Samsung removed oxygen saturation measurement from Health app
