Answer 1

For brightness, it is expected that people will be regularly be using their phone outside in full sunlight which requires much more brightness for the screen to be usable. Compared to a tv that is generally expected to be used indoors without direct sunlight and the option of curtains, etc to make the room as dark as needed
