This year, most smartphones started supporting dynamic HDR displays. If you use devices like the Samsung Galaxy S24, Google Pixel 9, Apple iPhone 16, Oppo Find X8 and more, this feature is hard to avoid because it is very annoying. Coming to Samsung devices, you can turn it off.
This feature will appear in One UI 7, where users can go to the Advanced features settings and choose to turn off the Super HDR mode. When this feature is turned off, the display of content will be more balanced and will not be so bright that it hurts the eyes. This feature is also said to work for HDR video content.
For those who don't know, devices with cameras and screens that support HDR displays such as Super HDR, Pro XDR or Ultra XDR modes can display some images and videos brighter than others. It is an effect that makes the content look more realistic and interesting. However, it is very annoying because it is not affected by the automatic brightness mode of the device's screen and can cause users' eyes to hurt.
One UI 7 is currently still in beta testing for select Galaxy devices. One UI 7 will be offered in a stable form after the Galaxy S25 series is launched. Let's all look forward to it.
