Hi 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?! šŸ™‚

Cracks me up that these people post about issues that most don't even understand...are the posters all experts in display panel technology?

I wonder if these issues are happening with the s24+. That's actually what I wanted but went with the ultra because of the minimal price difference

i had thought it was, but after looking up "s24 grainy screen" and every result being about the ultra, im inclined to think only the ultra is affected

Just hope you don't get this issue with you S24 Ultra. Samsung is absolutely zero help with getting it resolved. 1706932772944.jpg

ooo yeah that is unfortunate

samsung support has been useless. i have a feeling they have a script to follow, and you have to be lucky enough to find a representative that will deviate from it

Do you see that in the default wallpaper or lock screen or in all dark backgrounds?

all dark backgrounds as not as it is pitch-black. some common places i see it are the settings app, discord, chrome, and the keyboard.
