Thank you both for the insight, I think I figured it out. The computer monitor I'm comparing to is a QD-OLED with a peak brightness of 980 nits. My phone has a peak brightness 842 nits but I learned that apparently, it will only hit that if its increasesing the brightness automatically at the behest of the ambient light sensor. I.E., it only gets that bright in direct sunlight. Under normal circumstances, the peak brightness is 495 nits. So I thought I was comparing two screens of similar brightness, but in practice, I was comparing a brighter screen to a dimmer screen.
