I upgraded to the S24U primarily because of the supposedly very bright screen. I use my phone a lot in sunlight so I was looking forward to it. But low and behold the S24U actually has a dimmer screen than my S22U.
I checked all the display and brightness settings and restarted phone etc. Basically if the phone gets used at all (just browsing the web and using YouTube) and gets even remotely warm the screen brightness won't go above 25%. If I slide the brightness bar the brightness only changes for the first 1/4 of the bar. The last 3/4 of the bar to the right literally does nothing. I am sitting here with both phones and the same use on both web and YouTube usage and the S24U is FAR dimmer than my S22U.
Very disappointed that Samsung would market this supposedly bright screen when in the real world it doesn't even get as bright as they say.
So don't expect your phone to be any brighter than the previous generation S models. It will be much worse as any warmth at all will kill the ability for the screen to get bright.
