Light Sensor
Last updated on Jul 17, 20241 min readA device with a light sensor should be able to detect changes in brightness around it. There are 2 versions of this test, as they differ between iOS and Android:
- Android: A simple bar appears, displaying the exact measurement of the light sensor. Observe the change in this number as you cover the device or place bright lights near it.
- iOS: Use the on screen buttons to set the brightness to a certain value, then change the brightness around the device. Observe the screen automatically changing brightness in response.
Pass: The device is responsive to the changes in lighting conditions.
Fail: This device is inconsistent with sensing lighting changes, or provides random responses.
