The Android app's native player has a setting to swipe up/down on the screen to change the brightness or volume. It's the same for some of the other 3rd party players like MPV or VLC.
Just swipe up on the left-side of the screen to get max brightness.
Also, what are the screen specs of your other displays (tv, Windows pc)? I looked up the screen your phone has. Your issue may be because your phone has an amoled display. The point of that type of display is to show actual black colors. And HDR (as its name implies) will show a big range from true darkness to 100% brightness. What you're looking for is to increase the floor at which the video will display dark scenes, which technically lowers the dynamic range of brightness (you can't push past 100% phone brightness to compensate for the lowered dynamic range), the opposite of what HDR is trying to achieve.
My phone has an oled screen, and I also at times can't see parts of a video when it has some dark scenes and I'm out in some form of daylight.
