Take what Forbes said with a grain of salt. Their reporting is not very accurate, especially in the tech reporting arena.

AndroidPolice have already reported a Samsung corporate release that it is "as intended" and "there is no problem." Samsung corporate stated that they are going for a more natural look.

AndroidPolice only reported what someone from "Samsung Spain" told them.

I'd rather hear from someone at "Samsung South Korea". You know... where the headquarters are, and where the people who actually make the decisions for the company live.

But they have the official posting. You can go read it yourself. I didn't link it because I don't want my post deleted.

Why would your post be deleted? Even if it wasn't an official Samsung post, it wouldn't be a problem. The majority of the news posts here are rumor and hearsay.

Me too. Rumor here is this is an internal move to limit long-term screen damage from burn-in, now that updates are longer. Also - and people will be angry - UI 6.1 updates will change the color profiles on older phones, as well. Another rumor is that this as to do with increasing battery life.

There is another side to this, as well. If you look at how Samsung operates, their MO is "three steps forward, one step back.". Introducing a downgrade allows Samsung a few more years to "improve" over the past product.

Another example are phones like the a52s, and the a82/Quantum 2. The a53 and Quantum 3 released a year later were a step back. The CPU, screen, and cameras were a downgrade. We are just now reaching most of the features that the -2 series had, with the -5 series midrange phones. My wife's a82/Quantum 2 still seems on par with what has been announced in the a55, with the exception of a larger battery and comms improvements.

By the way. Had you read through the threads and read the one about washed out colors you would have seen my post from SamMobile. I'm not sure who reported it first though. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Forbes.

Here's a new and intriguing development regarding the Galaxy S24's vivid color profile. Namely, Samsung reportedly intended for the vivid ...

To improve battery life. Maybe. To prevent screen burn in, doubtful. Samsung figured that out a long time ago. As far back as the S8/Note 8 series. Screen burn in was a problem 10 years ago, but it's very rare for it to happen now-a-days.

Exactly right around that time

My s21 has burn of the android bar along the bottom, and the circle with the up arrow from the web browser ( from previous owner).

It can happen but abuse by that user likely keeping brightness full for long periods but when using Samsung default settings Auto brightness not leaving screen on a static image for long periods of time you will never run into that it's usually abuse of the device.

I agree. My S10+ and S22 Ultra didn't have any screen burn in, and I used both a lot for 2 years each one.

My oldest son and I both had S8s and both developed screen burn in within a year and a half. The S9 I followed up with is now used by my youngest son and that one shows no burn in signs to this day - about 6 years later.

I didn't have burn in with the s8+ but did get the pinkish tint screen and a swollen battery that took the back glass off cleanly

Sort of an automatic preparation for battery replacement.
