(At least that is my experience with the original PinePhone that I own, but I do not think it is very different with the Pro.) While in bright sunlight (and wearing sunglasses), I really need the maximum possible brightness, in room lighting, a setting close to the minimum works well, and outdoor in the evening, even the minimum is still more than bright enough. The screen backlight consumes a lot of energy.
Yep, that applies across the board.
If you run 'powertop' on a laptop, you can see directly how much adjusting brightness affects battery life.
Dunno if that also works on PP/PPP though (it may be an (intel) amd64 only thing).
