Here’s a cool thing to know about the company that makes your phone – sometimes they listen. Samsung announced a first update for the Galaxy S24 Series today that was created quickly in response to user feedback. It touches on complaints you had about the display, as well as the camera.
The first big update for the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra will begin to rollout on February 22. Once you get it, let’s talk about what you can expect.
Vividness display setting: The first item Samsung is adding in this update is a “Vividness” slider within the Display’s Advanced Settings area. I’d imagine this is in response to all of the complaints about washed out colors.
Samsung says they tuned the Galaxy S24 Series “for a more natural” experience, but that this should let you crank up the brightness to those old school punchy levels. This Vividness slider will sit just below the R-G-B controls in that advanced tab. To find it, you’ll head to Settings>Display>Screen Mode>Advanced Settings.
Camera enhancements everywhere: The other big update here is to the camera, where Samsung says they’ve provided upgrades to zoom functions, Portrait Mode, Nightography, rear camera video shooting capabilities, and more.
They didn’t specify further, but again, they clearly heard your complaints about camera quality and hope this should improve things throughout the shooting experience.
Galaxy AI language improvements: Finally, Samsung is improving language recognition and accuracy for 13 supported languages within Galaxy AI.
Be on the lookout for this update for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 in about 8 days.

I bought the s24u and returned it right away jot because of the screen colors but because the phone sound quality was so inferior to my old Note 9.
About dam time.
I can’t believe all of the complaints about the S24U screen (I have one) and nobody is complaining about the terrible screen on the P8 (I had one of those too). Warm, dull, washed out – it’s why I sold it after a few days.
Returning the S24 Ultra not because of the grainy, washed out display, but because you can no longer change the brightness of the AOD. It is so dim at night that it’s pointless to even have on.
Unless you’re looking for it to be as bright as the sun, the brightness of the AOD on the S24 Ultra is pretty bright; and that’s w/o having the wallpaper turned on.
Finally! It’s seemingly been an eternity waiting on this update to roll out.
Agreed on the crashing of games. I think it’s better than it was, as a lot of the smaller glitches have been ironed out by Play Store app updates since the S24’s launch.
Great news!!!! Good job Samsung
What about the problem related to my Google Play Store updates? The Google Play Store version is still on July 1, 2023, on my Samsung S24+. My Galaxy Tab S9+ has a 01/01/2024 date for the Google Play Store.
It’s a Google problem with One UI 6.1. It will get updated eventually.
Thank you!
Although screen and camera issues were noticeable they weren’t hindering my daily usage. The constant crashing of games is incredibly annoying, however. I hope they address that issue.
