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
I know it's just my s24 ultra came with a greenish, greyish screen color. And it's just not only mines I heard from other people that there phone screen has a weird tint.. I hope Samsung can fix this .
So im not sure but the "tint" issue might be the adaptive color is on. I have mine disabled but my colors aren't as vivid as my s22u, like something looked off but it wasnt until i had em side by side that i realized my s22u was actually looking 10x better thn s24u
The more I think about it the more outrageous this seems. If this is a software bug, which I suspect it is, how could this go undetectable? This is not some obscure bug buried in some setting which no one uses that often. This is a setting right in the display the first thing you see when you turn on your phone. How this bug could go undetected is beyond me
Ya, I'm having the same dull screen on my Galaxy s24 ultra....Hopefully, samsung can fix.this issue before they get a massive amount of returns, and kill any momentum the s24 may have/had in sales.
