the adaptive brightness does work more agressively I think due to the new sensors on the front,, unfortunately your options are just to disable the adative brightness and adjust it manually.

Yeah, something is wrong with it. We discussed about this issue already in this thread:

http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-X-Compact/Auto-brightness-too-low-in-dark/m-p/1160558#U1160558

What may work is to set the brightness at 1/3 of the bar (or more) in a a dark environment. I say this because when it started not working I kept raising it, and there is a sort of "magical" level after which the issue disappears. Also it may take few tries. So after having done it, and if it starts working fine, never touch the brightness again because it starts all over.
