New display settings for more accurate and comfortable viewing
The Galaxy S24 Ultra has a new display. It’s more protective and seems a bit less saturated and vibrant than the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The new slider called Vividness will be equivalent to Vivid mode on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. It does provide a screen mode option that lets users choose between Vivid and Nature screen modes and configure the white balance.
- Vividness: It was previously overly vivid, just a bit subtly different from natural. Now, with the update, vivid is hyper-unrealistic. Samsung has already made the display of the Galaxy S24 Ultra without any intentional colour adjustment or product defect.
Samsung has reintroduced the advanced settings button for the Vivid screen mode settings, allowing users to adjust the white balance.
Galaxy users have varying preferences when it comes to their mobile device’s display. That’s why we tuned the Galaxy S24 series’ display for a more natural and customisable viewing experience. By adjusting the “Vividness” option under display “Advanced settings,” you can now enjoy a more vibrant display. – Samsung
This is a key update. It brings custom display settings and other new tweaks. The tweaks affect RGB (red, green, and blue) white balance and “vivdness” (saturation). Users can set these settings based on their preferences.
Camera improvements
The update also optimises key camera functions. It upgrades the Galaxy S24’s zoom, portrait mode, lithography, rear camera video, and more. In addition to this, we updated the Galaxy S24 Ultra to improve camera performance when fast-moving subjects are in frame. But also in food mode. It has better bandwidth to handle high-resolution images. It fixes the gallery while viewing DNG files in the Expert Raw app.
Samsung has noted this. They have improved the shots taken in the backlight. But motion has been the biggest issue with Samsung’s devices for years. However, Samsung didn’t share any acknowledgements or the constant issues with motion.
New translation features
Languages get updated for better communication, with optimisation for translation. You can update them through the Galaxy Store. This also improves the Galaxy AI and the One UI 6.1.
