Samsung will fix the Galaxy S24’s screen color issue, after all. An upcoming update for the phones will reportedly introduce a new color saturation slider that lets you adjust the vividness of the colors. This slider will be available when you select the Vivid color profile, which currently doesn’t produce the same level of saturation we have seen on previous Samsung flagships.
Galaxy S24 users will soon get the desired screen vividness
The display experts at DXOMARK recently concluded that the Galaxy S24 Ultra has the best display ever on a smartphone. However, some users haven’t been happy with the screen colors. Like previous-gen models, the new flagship also comes with two color modes: Natural and Vivid. However, the color tones hardly change between the two modes.
We tested this ourselves and found that the two color profiles on the Galaxy S24 series, all three models, are almost identical. There is a mild difference in color tones but that’s it. The Vivid mode doesn’t increase the color saturation as much as on older models. You can manually adjust the White Balance but some users didn’t like the lack of saturation in colors.
It appeared to be a software bug, and Samsung did acknowledge the issue. However, the company later suggested that the color profiles on the Galaxy S24 series are working as intended. The firm made some changes to the Vivid mode to provide a more natural viewing experience to users. Since there is already a Natural mode, this was a weird decision from Samsung.
Unsurprisingly, users expressed disappointment over it, particularly those who preferred more saturated colors. Thankfully, the company listened and plans to let users take charge of the screen’s vividness. According to tipster Ice Universe, the next update for the Galaxy S24 series will add a second slider below the White Balance controller. It will let users adjust the vividness of screen colors.
Samsung will offer three levels of vividness
The upcoming vividness slider for the Galaxy S24 trio will reportedly offer three levels. The lowest level is the default color tone that you currently get with the Vivid mode. If you increase the vividness by one level, you will get color tones similar to the Galaxy S23 series, the source claims. At the highest level, the color tones will reportedly match the Galaxy S21 series. We will let you know when Samsung rolls out this update.
