Android Oreo Adaptive brightness bug

I've updated the new firmware a couple of days ago and noticed something wrong with the adaptive brightness.

It used to be slowly adjust the brightness but after this latest update, it's adjusting the brightness so fast and make me less comfortable to use it.

Sometimes it makes me feel sick. 😢

Does anyone have this problem too?

I have noticed this also, but I won't call it a bug. It happened only near a light bulb, I live in Europe, here we have 220V 50Hz refresh. I think it has to do with that 50hz refresh of light. The ambient sensor in extremely precise and subject to capture differences with the 50hz refresh.

I won't call it a bug. I am very satisfied with the ultra fast ambient brightness. Please do not change it.

One more bug with the adaptive brightness....😡

When I use the phone in sunny weather with the adaptive brightness turned OFF(in the settings of the phone). For example, when typing text ( with Gboard), the brightness goes up and down... It's not so responsive as when it's on, but still it's working when it's not supposed to...

What the hack is going on with the "premium" phone by Sony?
