I do not need any support, there was one build, we all have "affected" calibration which looks like, this is the new samsung approach. So if someone is saying that their screen is superb, well it is same as ours they just don't "miss" too vivid colours. You said that this

Hence why I want to know, which S24 models are not affected then? Can you share a bit of that knowledge? Also I have seen this post:

I am very bad with google, norlt sure how to use it, couls you find me at least one photo comparison, or something similar from these tons of resources please? If there are so many of them it should be dead easy for you, as I believe you didn't make it all up, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Klyno:
Is the grainy / noisy display linked to the firmware too? Or just bad hardware QC?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] furfmonkey:
This article says it's not a defect and they aren't changing it. https://www.androidcentral.com/phon...or is an,market and consumer interests evolve.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
I don't think there is an official response from samsung, just lots of people and places with their advice and opinions.

I'm going to wait for the first phone update and see what happens to the phone once it's applied.

If they don't address the issue in the update or in an official statement then I think we may have a problem, but until then I don't think it's worth worrying about, especially with no official word!

How To Enable More screen color modes other than "Vivid & Natural" requires "adb" or with SETEDIT App from Play store

For all who are not satisfied by the colors of screen, I passed by a post on Reddit that someone succeeded to enable 3 more different Display Colors modes other than "Vivid & Natural" via adb There is 5 screen modes in total: 0 AMOLED cinema...

xdaforums.com
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Setedit app didn't work for me. I haven't connected to PC and try tough.

I hate this dull colors.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
We have confirmation from Samsung Customer Service department. I attached some similar responses from different countries.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] 0rigin:
I cycled through all the modes, screen stays the same or the changes are very minimal. Bland with a touch of sad. Also darker and with less contrast than on the S21 series.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
Nice one, Thanks @Nemesis_UK_ I hadn't seen those, I must have totally glossed over them :D I am not convinced they are all fully clued up on what's wrong with the phones though.

I'll believe it when I see progress in the forum of an official response from samsung to all customers or a phone update (y)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
Developer mode / contrast. Move it to standard. By default was on high. The reds look deeper to me. ??
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] KosInUK:
Update is coming so we have to be patient

Patience is our ability to wait without becoming annoyed, upset, or angry.

I hate Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hand-filer:
I'll wait to see what the fix is before I start messing around with settings. I'm not convinced there's something wrong with the current settings. When I took a picture of my toolbox and compared it i found the color red to be very close to actual.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hfmartins:
Mine was in standard by default. No difference on the reds... Screen bleak and muted...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] KosInUK:
NO FIX FOR DISPLAY!​
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tareksaf:
Is there a way to verify the screen's ability to display accurate colors? I am concerned that the problem may be hardware-related.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] SgtChrischi:
@tareksaf Yes, for example watching HDR videos on YouTube.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
I'm used to the display and prefer it to the saturated colours
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] cpufrost:
They will fix the natural/vibrant toggle.

There is nothing wrong, everyone is used to vibrant that's all.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Have you seen the last picture I shared? He is a Samsung employee who shared it on his account. I still believe this is a software glitch and a patch will fix it.

I also read in some forums that the S23 Ultra had a similar issue during the pre-orders. It was fixed soon after the first firmware update.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] SgtChrischi:
@Nemesis_UK_ Did you also see the later Reddit post from the same employee?

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS24Ultra/s/gIEsYejmlT

This no longer sounds like an update would fix it.

And there are increasing reports from Samsung support staff saying that the colors are as intended.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hand-filer:
I'm OK with that.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Since when samsung chat got any clue? In the recent past they used to say lies about updates, upcoming bug fixes etc, dis it changed? No.

But as you still didn't provided me with not affected build I will add this to your bunch of BS pile.

To the rest who believe, if this was a bug samsung would address it or at least mention it. Why? Because screen is quite important and all units would be affected not 10% or 15%, all phones are same. Those info from amdroid police sammobile about samsung changing the calibration to more natural make at least sence.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] seth_space:
Fine colors, nothing wrong with my s24U
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
Yeah I've just been reading some of the platforms that picture has been posted on. Good info that.

DCIP3 not functioning correctly does make sense and I've seen more evidence towards that being the problem

I'm not sure if these help anyone but I do believe this guy has it spot on.

And just for comparison with the s23 ultra there's this side by side video.

I know it's a "speed test" but ignore that and checkout the screen difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
No, I have just seen it. Thank you for sharing my friend. But he doesn't say there won't be any update.

"The update coming i was not told the specific changes, its possible vivid mode may have more of visual difference, but it does currently work."

Initially He gave us a strong message that update will fix the Vividness problem, but now (at least what I understood) he says update might not make you completely happy 😅 .

I will keep my device but so some people returned already. Many people like samsung TV and phone because of this color gamut.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
I do believe the new colours are intended but the vivid /natural setting not working is definitely a problem. Mine doesn't change at all when I select either setting.

But, like many people I will definitely be keeping my device, it's an amazing phone either way! I'll just dig into the files at a later date and tune the settings to suit me :p
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] 0rigin:
Somehow i doubt this, i think there's an issue with all the devices, the only diff is whether the user is more of a vanilla/chocolate type of person, or if maybe they prefer some p*ssy strawberry to go with it. These screens are pure sadness, I want strawberries
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
Has anyone tried this yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] 0rigin:
Literally a few posts above
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
That’s a shame! I was trusting this trick, if the firmware update wouldn’t give me the vivid colors I wanted.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] propov8:
Im happy with the colors now. I hate those punchy Amoled colors in the past. No crispy white, the orange and even the yellow becomes red, the grey and white have pink oder green oder blue oder yellow tint. Now is way way better for my eyes. The screen now looks more serious and not so kindisch.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] StormCell:
I must one of the few lucky ones. My screen is gorgeous. My wife got the S24+ and her's is great, too.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
Theres no lucky ones. They are all the same when it comes to the color issue...

Hold it up next to a S23 Ultra you'll see
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] StormCell:
See, I don't need to hold it next to anything. For me the screen is great. I think the colour is truer to natural than other oversaturated screens. I actually have perfect colour vision. That's not an empty boast I was tested in the military.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Majkl_CZ:
I think Im the only one who thinks that S24 display is amazing as it is even with matte screen protector and I just love it ❤️

But this "displaygate" is really fun to watch 😎
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
I'm not happy with the lack of vividness but not a big deal to me, the natural colors I'm fine with, its on par with my iPhone not an issue. Problem that bothers me the most is the grainyness of the display at lower brightness levels and how dim it is compared to the previous model. Bascially looks like a cheap screen/cheaper android phone. I have phones that cost less than half of the S24U that look better and don't have that cheap grain look to it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] StormCell:
I have noticed that when the display is very low the colours seem muted. But when the display brightens its fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hand-filer:
Well if you're within the 2 week return window, send it back.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
I'm just hoping for an update, otherwise its a great phone! If its not fixed no big deal just gonna go back to the S23U and hold onto the S24U to trade in later on
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Brava27:
Yeah, you do. You can't make opinions on this issue if you haven't compared it to older devices with "no issues".
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
Just received my S24 Ultra and the colors look the same as the S23 Ultra. Held it next to a friend's S24+ and the Ultra is a bit more vivid. However, the S22 Ultra, which I assume most upgraded from blows them both out of the water with bold punchy colors.

That said, the S24 Ultra feels like the smallest upgrade in recent years. The anti-reflective screen is probably the biggest improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] goodpenguin:
The colors are indeed less vivid than the Note 20 Ultra and S20 FE. But it doesn't really bother me. Still better than the Iphone colors which is relatively washed out compared to Samsung panels. I didn't notice the graininess when the screen is dim though. If anyone can share a pic, it would be a nice help.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
There are sqme replies saying that everything is working as intended.

Plus samsung chat is useless, they do not know anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
I think that is part of the problem with some people. Comparing things side by side there will be differences.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:
still no OS update? jeez!!! samsung is busy pushing one ui 6.1 to older devices i guess
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Hence why I have asked him for comparison with those mythic "other builds" that are not affected. His answer was go google it, ok thanks, this his how serious he is.

Anyway looks like vivid does only tiny thing to the screen now and according to latest news and lack of resposne from samsung( believe me, break up screen calibration in new line would be fixed asap) suggest that this is their new approach, to have much more accurate colours. Do I like it? Yes, is it less impressive? Yes

People will get used to it, we have a rant right now as many of us moved from over saturated previous models and this kinda make this screen to look dull. However this what we got now is "true". Quite similar to TV's where people preffer to use movie mode or something similar which looks same as on the reference monitors but there are quite few of guys who prefer over saturated unrealistic colours.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
Yeah difference but people don't expect a DOWNGRADE.. on a device that's so expensive
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
How is it a downgrade?

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hand-filer:
It's not but some prefer retina searing oversaturation.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Most people have fair color vision. I'm in the top 1% so I see color subtleties others miss like on color matching on repair paint jobs on cars.

Just like they can't spot the paint matching on that car repair, they don't see they same thing I see when I look at these displays.

I know the color throughput on my N10+ is excellent as I've tested it by taking a picture of a calibrated color test then viewing that image next to the chart. Lighting (color temp and intensity) as well as surrounding in the viewing area influence one's perception of mixed color gradients. So this is my impression not cold hard fact. They are well within the ballpark though be safe to say. Vivid setting blows them all up, way overstaturated. Yet some think that looks better...

That said to accurately test and calibrate displays you need sophisticated colorimeters. Even then setup takes knowledge and specific settings. Most reviews for color calibration at sites on the internet suck. The best site for this hasn't reviewed anything from Samsung since the N20U unfortunately. Adding to the issue is the fact that depending on the display refresh rate on variable rate displays as well as display brightness on all display will effect the results.

Because of the huge difference in actual color perception and preferences of individual users it's a very slippery slope when it comes to opinions. That said you can't color calibrate a display accurately by eye no matter how good your color perception is. There are simply too many variables. What settings look perfect on one image will fall apart on others. That's why accurate factory calibration is so important.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] propov8:
I had S23 Ultra and it is definitely not my Benchmark for screen quality. Yes the colors are more vivid but more is not always better. This year Samsung become more serious. No more oversaturated pics, no more painfully Vivid curved screen. Respect for Samsung. I like that.

And meanwhile Vivid Pictures is better known as one of the biggest porn studios 😉
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
I'm putting colors aside. I can get used to the natrual look (also carry an iPhone) which the colors are very close now. Its the banding and grain thats the bigger problem along with it being dimmer. Its dimmer than even my iPhone 15 Pro.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Correct(SRGB) colours are downgrade? Maybe you do not like them, but they are "right"
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Pictures or it didn't happen. Seriously, vivid in both devices and side by side comparison. Have s23 at home and the difference is huge, so please.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Then we should not call it a "bug" then
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] enigmaamit:
People defending the washed out colours as more 'natural' in the S24U are just in denial (sour grapes story...).

The same people had the option of choosing 'natural' on the S23U but chose to go with the 'vivid' (what they're now calling the unnatural) profile.

Now that natural and vivid are basically the same on the S24U, it's suddenly being hailed as life-like by apologists. What's the point of the color profiles then? Why the illusion of choice? Vivid should be vivid. Natural should be natural. User can choose. This choice doesn't currently exist and it's Samsung's mistake. Justifying it is just plain dumb - reminiscent of what the sheep do every time the fruit company goofs up.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Nemesis_UK_:
I agree with you that the S24U display color issue is disappointing and frustrating. You are not alone in feeling this way. Many other users have reported the same problem and expressed their dissatisfaction with the vivid color profile.

The good news is that Samsung has acknowledged the issue and stated that they are working on a fix that will be released soon. They have confirmed that the problem is a software bug and not a hardware defect, so it should be resolved with a firmware update.

I hope that Samsung will deliver on their promise and restore the vivid color mode to its previous glory. Until then, I suggest you try adjusting the display settings to your liking, or use the natural color mode if you prefer a more realistic look.

+If u prefer natural look then just choose Natural, stop complaining about vivid mode was too oversaturated. Because some people like it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hyelton:
So banding and a grainy display are right on a $1300 phone?

As Ive stated several times. Colors are not the main issue. It's the grain, banding, and dimness that's the main issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
There is a possibility that things might be moving in the right direction -> https://x.com/SamMobiles/status/1755222070722543911?s=20

I don't know how true it is about an update for the vivid fix but that twitter account has other info too. Take it with a pinch of salt ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
I would not be surprised if they revert to more saturated colours even if current state was intentional due to the mostly negative feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
If you are a good product manager, you give people more options, not fewer. It is a simple software thing. They are not costly; they can just easily implement a couple of color profiles and let people use them, and there is always a manual adjustment.

Now, as a Product Manager, I would assess how many people want the change before I make changes. It id a matte rot market fitness. Is is worth to do something?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
I mean I did not get it at the first, if it was a bug, just admit there was a software issue that will be patched, but no, we had official(?) Info that this is not a bug... well then why did they bother to put that vivid mode which was not vivid at all first.

Anyway we will see after update if vivid is fixed and if they will mention it in the changelog.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tareksaf:
Any idea about time of the update 🤔 ???
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Ice dropped this too:

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1755448365599637760

So it's highly likely that we will be getting back the vivid mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] eyeatoma:
Ice universe who is connected says an update is coming to fix vividness and even increase it more than the s23.

Thank God.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Dayuser:
I think two posts with same tweet is enough..
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Read it again, they will not fix it as it is not broken, they are going to give us an option to increase saturation if somebody want to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] eyeatoma:
Didn't see it sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tim84us:

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
Funny thing.... I got used to the current "vivid," so by the time the update gets here, I will probably not bother...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Rauttis:
Samsung is so bad at messaging. Most of this ****storm could have been avoided entirely if they had just released an announcement saying they are working on this feature.

Same thing happening on my device (Redmi Note 11 4G) too, HyperOS Issue.

Following this thread to see if anybody knows about it.

Sent a bug report to Xiaomi, may have to wait for the next OTA for a fix. Who Knows!

Note: Issue Fixed By Clearing All Data of "Bluetooth Extension" and rebooting device. 🙂

Receiving mine within a few days. I'm excited to finally try a full powered, lightweight, semi-compact Samsung phone. The S23 Ultra is so big and heavy so this will be a nice change. Each year, I test out multiple flagships and will be glad to answer any questions, compare to other phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S24+] chillsen:
receiving mine tomorrow. ordered 1/18
[Samsung Galaxy S24+] shiloh4565:
I read that Samsung took away some custom AOD settings with the S24. Doesn't let you increase AOD brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy S24+] unomedmen1:
I pre-ordered an unlocked S24+ thru Best Buy on 01/17. I chose to have mailed to me instead of in store pickup. I have yet to receive any update regarding status.

Anyone else here buy thru Best Buy?
[Samsung Galaxy S24+] dwensch:
Bought with 500€ discount on Samsung launch day. Upgraded from base S23. Camera, sound, exactly same. Cannot hide 'gesture hint' bar. AI voice capabilities don't support Dutch language. Don't use any of it. The image AI is same like Google Photo's app.

Performance is good. Did stress test for thermals with Exynos 2400, results are okay under load. Not bad at all!

Display, brightness perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S24+] dhonzik:
You wont get it until 1/31. I ordered my thru Samsung, but with a Best Buy pickup
[Samsung Galaxy S24+] Guyinlaca:
Ordered direct through Samsung and received it Friday.

PROS:

+Excellent size and lightweight

+Screen gets ridiculously bright

+Phone feels faster than S23 Ultra

+Marble Gray looks cool

+Speakers sound good

+New buttons are way more firm than previous years

CONS:

-Screen colors aren't nearly as vibrant as the S23 Ultra (Mostly fixed with tweaking color settings)

-Screen exhibits a grainy effect and uneven look on gray backgrounds.

-Was missing Samsung Gestures, but they're back using NavStar.

-Not loving the squared off edges as they feel awkward. Gives an iPhone vibe and needs a proper case.

-Samsung's "vegan leather" case isn't as grippy or high quality as previous versions

I may return it and order another as the screen is not up to par for Samsung. I'm wondering if this is a first batch problem.
