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 S24Finally the real answer with some actual science. Wrong/extra sub pixels are being lit up when they should not be. This should be addressable easily with a firmware fix. Amazing Samsung thought it was a good idea to launch the phone this way tho. How stupid!

Galaxy S24I'm thinking that Samsung **bleep** up with this display, but they can't really admit that, can they. No, they have the PR people say, "we meant the screen to be more natural, that was our design all along". Then they can fix their problem (which really isn't a problem š) with an update. They can then say, this is for our customers who like a more vivid display. That way they're hoping to try to avoid an expensive class action suit.

Galaxy S24I just got my S24 yesterday. Needless to say that I am very displeased with the display. It's dull and very unpleasant. I am considering returning the phone and getting another brand. I've been with Samsung for 15 years but this is a deal breaker for me.
Please advise when the fix will be available.
