I was at a Best Buy the other day. Held an S24U next to my S23U.

Strangely enough, my S23U was more colorful / saturated than the S24U (I even checked on 3 different ones).

Brightness was obviously higher on the S24U vs S23U, also less screen reflectivity vs S23U for sure.

However less saturated calibration it seems, more of a natural look.

Just to note, I made sure both the demo S24U and my S23U had the same display settings. Adaptive brightness on / full brightness, Eye Comfort off, Vivid display settings on both.

Several YouTube reviews of the s24ultra are saying the colors are not as vibrant as the S23ULTRA. I'll stick with my s23ultra for awhile and see what the s25ultra brings. Or s26 or s27 ultra. There is not a significant difference between the S23ULTRA and s24ultra. We will all have to pay for a.i. features after 2024 . That's really crappy of Samsung to do that.

Well that really sucks, I might as well leave it on Eye Comfort Shield since it's the only best way show higher contrast.

Just learned that the S24/6.1 forces you to use the Google gesture bar and removed the ability to hide the bar. Completely absurd. Samsung gestures are miles better than the half baked iOS clone Google ships and the inability to hide a distracting bar has to be one of the most outright stupid decisions I have ever seen. 

Hopefully goodlock will be able to fix some of this. We don't buy samsung phones just to be forced into googles vision of Android phones. 

[glman]

Agreed. This will ensure I don't buy Samsung in the future.

[Robin621k]

What are you going to buy, you can't hide it on any phone now!

[glman]

When the time comes it'll likely be another phone. It was one of the few features that kept me locked with Samsung.

[Robin621k]

If you turn off the Circle search feature, you can still hide the gesture bar

[TipsyTrex]

I'm glad to hear that they haven't completely lost their minds at least, I hadn't seen any confirmation of that.

[Robin621k]

I erred, thought I saw on YouTube you can get it back.
As of now you can't
