Samsung has just announced the first update for the Galaxy S24 series, which introduces custom display settings and several other new features.
The first update for the Galaxy S24 series will be released this month (likely along with the February 2024 security patch) and has one main feature – fully customizable display settings.
After the Galaxy S24 devices were released to customers, Samsung faced some criticism when it was noticed that the colors on the new displays were less saturated and vibrant compared to the previous generations. Samsung explained that this was intentional, as the company aimed for a more natural and precise look for their displays.
Now, as previously leaked, Samsung is introducing a software update that enables fully customizable display settings on the Galaxy S24 series. Users will be able to adjust the RGB color balance and “Vividness” (saturation) according to their preferences.
Samsung explains:
“Galaxy users have different preferences when it comes to the mobile device screen. That’s why we have customized the Galaxy S24 display to provide more natural and personalized visual experiences. With the ability to adjust the ‘Vividness’ in the ‘Advanced display settings’ tab, you can now enjoy a more dynamic image.”
In addition, Samsung also mentions “further optimization of key camera features.” This part is quite enigmatic, but it also mentions improvements regarding zoom, portrait mode, low-light photography, rear camera video recording, and more. It is unknown whether this will fix the persistent motion issues that we mentioned in our review (which affected previous generations of Galaxy devices).
Lastly, Samsung also mentions that this update has something to do with “communication without language barriers,” suggesting updates to new translation features, but Samsung does not provide precise details on what has been updated.
We are committed to achieving our goal of providing barrier-free communication for all. I am determined to listen to you and continue developing Galaxy technology – realizing our vision and unlocking new possibilities for the future.
In an email to 9to5Google, Samsung confirms that this update will be available starting from February 22.
