How to Make the Flashlight Shine Brighter on Samsung Phones

It is difficult to conceive a mobile packed with functions but lacking the flashlight . Oddly enough, the camera flash was not always used for this purpose. Not so many years ago, it was only third-party applications that allowed us to use this element of hardware to have an extra point of illumination when necessary.

Many terminals are satisfied with having the function and being able to activate it quickly. Generally and with few exceptions, the flashlight can be activated from the quick functions menu in the notification bar. In Samsung mobiles with ONE UI it is not an exception, but we can also configure it to our liking depending on whether we need more or less light.

Increase or decrease brightness. For what?

There are many reasons why Samsung offers the possibility for the user to have control over the brightness of the flashlight. The first and most important is to have the maximum light capacity possible, so we can modify the parameters so that the flash illuminates as much as possible. However, it should be borne in mind that the more brightness, the more battery will be used, so on the opposite side we have users who have enough with a lower brightness level and want to modify it in this regard.

How to modify the brightness

As we say, the flashlight function of Samsung mobiles uses the white light LED that is normally used as a flash. To adjust the brightness it emits we will have to follow the following steps:

Tap on text

Swipe the status bar down to open the notification panel. Then we swipe down once more to see the quick access icons. The next step is to click on the “Flashlight” text that is just below the flashlight icon.

Adjust with the slider

At that time we will see the levels at which we can modify the light intensity for each time we access the function. The settings of the flashlight will allow us to play with values between 1 and 5, with one being the least bright and five the maximum available light power.

With an app

If with these Samsung settings we do not have enough, we can always use an app specially developed for this purpose. In this way we can not only modify the brightness, but also have a shortcut on the desktop, or activate modes such as party mode or emergency mode . We leave you right below with what we believe is one of the best flashlight apps, which can be downloaded for free from Google Play.
