Early impressions about the Galaxy S24 series from SamMobile talk about some imperfections of the series’ certain display aspects. Preliminary insights indicate concerns regarding a dimmer Always On Display (AOD) and a “dulled” Vivid color profile across the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The “Vivid” color profile on the Galaxy S24 series reportedly has little difference in vibrancy when compared to the “Natural” one.
The observation revolves around the Always On Display, which is noticeably dimmer on the Galaxy S24 compared to its predecessors, the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S23 series. This difference remains consistent whether using the new AOD wallpaper mode or the traditional AOD configuration. While the folks at Sammobile consider it as a potential adjustment to conserve battery life, it does raise concerns about the AOD’s readability at a glance, especially in brighter scenarios which contradicts its intended purpose.
Samsung may fix the inconsistent color profile and AOD of the Galaxy S24 series with a future software update
Close inspection of the Always On Display in the Galaxy S24 series reveals a yellow tint, irrespective of the AOD wallpaper, Eye Comfort Shield, or Adaptive Color Tone settings. This unexpected hue may raise questions about whether these shifts in the AOD’s calibration are intentional or an issue that the company will fix in the future.
The Galaxy S24 series comes with the same color profiles for its Super AMOLED displays as its predecessors – “Vivid” and “Natural.” However, early findings suggest a departure from the difference in saturation seen between the two profiles in previous Samsung flagships. On the Galaxy S24, the “Vivid” and “Natural” color profiles appear very similar. Actually, the Vivid option seems noticeably toned down compared to its predecessors. This departure from the vibrant color profile leads to concerns about meeting user expectations in this regard.
While folks at SamMobile mentioned the unusual color calibration in the Always On Display and “Vivid” color profile, they underscored that the Super AMOLED screens on the Galaxy S24 series overall deliver an impressive visual experience. The devices reportedly maintain sufficient brightness when required.
