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 S24Hello. I just upgraded from a S23 ultra to a s24 ultra. I usually don't reply to forums but I felt it would be of much help to the Samsung community. When I first saw the display of the of the s24 ultra, Immediately noticed the difference in vividness from the S23 ultra. After a few minutes of going through settings, I was able to find the solution! š
First go to Settings > Display > Screen Mode > Advanced Options . There is a new Vividness slider here now after updates, so slide that all the way to the right. Your phone's display will now be as vivid as before. You're welcome.

Galaxy S24Don't know if you found an answer to this yet, and I'm not going to read through 325 pages of comments but, if you didn't, you might want to try this:
You can rotate the AOD to landscape mode by long pressing the auto-rotate icon in the quick panel and choosing "rotate lock screen". Then when the lock screen is showing, rotate the screen to landscape mode, and when the AOD goes on, it will be in landscape mode. When you return the phone to portrait orientation, the screen will rotate back. Also, to adjust the brightness of the AOD, you will have to download Good Lock from the Galaxy store and then the Lock Star module. Turn on the slider over the AOD image and then turn off always on display auto brightness and you can then move the slider all the way up. I have noticed that, if after you do that, you then put auto brightness back on, the brightness will adjust to ambient light and may seem dull in the day time but, at night in a dark room, the brightness goes all they way up, so it's clearly visible to use a nightstand clock. If you keep the slider at a lower level, the auto brightness will only bring it to that level. If you want it at its brightest at all times, then you can keep the auto brightness off.
I apologize if you found your answer months ago, as I am just seeing this now.

Galaxy S24I've just upgraded from S10 to S24 I've also noticed that colours on screen are less vibrant than S10 which I really don't like. I've played around with all the features for this but to no avail. Also when screen goes off my old S10 used to.light up.lock screen when I picked it up to look at time the S24 does seem to do this either. Does anyone know if there's a fix for either issue?
