Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Users Are Reporting Washed-Out Colors in Vivid Mode

Samsung's highly anticipated Galaxy S24 series has recently hit stores globally, showcasing notable hardware improvements, particularly in the flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra model. While the design remains consistent, the Ultra model boasts a QHD+ panel with a new Corning Gorilla Armor protection, maintaining Samsung's reputation for top-tier displays.

However, users are reporting a significant concern related to display color tones, specifically with the 'Vivid' profile.

'Washed-Out' Colors

Ahead of the official release, several Reddit users who received their Galaxy S24 Ultra devices early have expressed concerns regarding the 'washed-out' colors when utilizing the 'Vivid' color profile. Ironically, this profile, intended to intensify saturation, seems to be impacting the overall accuracy of color rendering. Notably, users have discovered that switching to the 'Natural' profile rectifies the issue, hinting at a possible software-related glitch.

One UI 6.1 in the Spotlight

The color discrepancy on the Galaxy S24 Ultra might be linked to the exclusive build of One UI 6.1, leading to speculation that the issue is software-related. There is hope that an update, possibly One UI 6.1, could fix the problem, but Samsung has not yet officially acknowledged or addressed the reported display issue.

Samsung's Response

With users raising concerns on social media platforms, the ball is now in Samsung's court. Whether the issue stems from a software glitch or a hardware discrepancy remains unclear.

We'll keep you in the loop as and when Samsung releases an official statement.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Display Specifications

The standout feature of the Galaxy S24 Ultra is its 6.8-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen, featuring a variable refresh rate that spans from 1Hz to 120Hz. A notable improvement is the adoption of a flat display, replacing the curved screen seen in the S23 Ultra. This change has been well-received by enthusiasts of glass screen protectors. The display is now shielded by Corning's latest Gorilla Armor, boasting an anti-reflective coating that enhances usability in bright sunlight. The brightness has been substantially boosted to 2,600 nits, accompanied by an improved Vision Booster, delivering an unmatched viewing experience.
