Galaxy S24Hi All
I've just got my S24+ today to upgrade my trusty but ageing S10+ having not strayed from Samsung for almost 10 years. Naturally I was hoping it would be an upgrade in all departments but although on the whole it is, there's several annoying and unexpected downgrades that are making me seriously question whether it's actually worth spending quite a bit of money to change.
Firstly, the screen although pin sharp is really washed out. Even in vivid mode the colours are dull and the blacks are significantly more grey than the S10 screen, and even look washed out when put alongside my wife's budget spec A52! I've played around with brightness and colour tone etc but I can't dial it out, and my cousin who's got an S24 Ultra said exactly the same when comparing it against the S22 it's replacing.
Then there's some bizarre features missing from OneUI 6.1, the ones I've noticed so far are specifically in the Always On Display settings. I use AOD to display as a bedside clock, with my S10 and also in OneUI 6.0 / Android 14 on the A52 you can rotate the AOD to landscape orientation and control the brightness, you could even do the latter from the AOD lock screen by tapping twice on the clock to access the brightness slider. In OneUI 6.1 unless I'm missing something it seems all that functionality is missing, the brightness of the AOD is linked to the main screen brightness setting which is far too bright for overnight use, and you can't set it to landscape mode which I'd prefer when on it's horizontal night stand next to the bed. Why this functionality would be omitted I have no idea, but it's really annoying! Please someone enlighten me to some hidden menu somewhere that fixes all these issues?! š
Solved! Go to Solution.

Galaxy S24I just noticed that there is no difference between the Vivid and Natural settings on my new s24. I was wondering why the colors were so washed out on the new phone. Both my s24 and s22 were set to vivid, but when I went into the settings on the the s24 and toggled back and forth from vivid to natural nothing changed. No wonder the colors are drab!

Galaxy S24It's one of two possibilities related to DCI-P3 color space:
1. The screen is capable of higher than 83% DCI-P3 color, and Samsung's claim that a software bug is the issue is true.
2. The screens are a cheaper level not capable of a DCI-P3 rating on par with previous Samsung S-series displays.
3. There is a regional issue affecting screens, and is either hardware or software related.
All I know is that I noticed the color problem immediately when I looked at the s24 Ultra in Kangnam. Not sure how anyone with a discerning eye could miss it.
