Colours look dull and washed out compared to my S22 Ultra...

[MassiveBollocks]

My S22U looks more vibrant and colours look tremendous compared to my new S24U. What am
I doing wrong?

Have read some other reports of this as well. Am curious to get thoughts from people who already have their S24 series phones.

I came across a YouTube video that briefly mentioned a hidden feature for sorting vibrancy, but unfortunately, the location of this feature was not disclosed. This omission is rather inconvenient.

Have you changed the colour mode in display settings to vibrant rather than natural? Changed the resolution from FHD+ to QHD+?

Yes I changed it to QHD+.

I did not notice this until I compared it side-by-side. My eyes can get used it if I use this phone exclusively, which I don't.

Could be a quirk of the anti reflective coating... making things a bit flatter.

Drooling for deliveries.....now comes the complaints...always the same year-after-year! SMH

Mine looks fine although I don't usually have it set to vibrant anyway. There is also another setting in 'Brightness' settings called 'adaptive colour tone' which adjusts colour tone based on ambient lighting conditions to make colours appear more natural in different environments.

I am having this same issue. I noticed it immediately and when comparing the s22 ultra to s24 ultra it is a massive difference. I have both vivid screen mode and adaptive colour tone turned on. Has anyone found a fix for this yet?

I'm also wondering, as it seems to only be S22U users, if the Exynos 2200 with it's AMD designed GPU is just very vivid and vibrant.

Watching This 4k hdr, full brightness the display can definitely look vibrant and not far off my LG C3

Possible. My S22U is an Exynos + AMD GPU.

Don't have mine yet! But I wonder what is going on with this one complaint so far? ALL the reviewers who took the time to mention this anti-reflective feature said it was absolutely great! They were all amazed that Samsung didn't mention it in the unpacked event! Something is out of kilter here...either with the reviewers, or with the most recent end users?????

Popular Youtube reviews have omitted this fact, whether knowingly or unknowingly, I am not surprised since they are mostly Snapdragon users.

"since they are mostly Snapdragon users."
Not sure what this means? Are you saying that the Snapdragon versions are different/better/worse than the Exynos versions? Just trying to understand!

Also the majority will compare it to the S23U.

It has been reported, and Samsung has said that they have been slowly backing off the super saturated colors in One UI. The last 3 generations of S phones have had small reductions in how vivid the colors were. Comparing to the S22 would be a bigger drop off than comparing to the S23. I don't know if that's true.. or if this is simply the way Samsung has designed it now.

Ok guys just got my phone in and it was noticable enough that I thought I got a dud or something and decided to search Google for answers. At least I know my phone is fine but the difference in saturation on the 23U and 24U is huge. The new phone definitely looks dull and washed out.

There's a few people on reddit confirming from support that it's a known issue and will be addressed in one of the first updates. Also a Samsung worker claiming the same.
