General Samsung should add more screen modes - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

As you know, the S21U only have 2 screen modes, Natural and Vivid.
I prefer Vivid but it makes my edited photos too satured, and Natural is at the total other extreme with desaturated colors!
Samsung should give more options for screen modes adding an in between mode or why not letting us set the saturation manually because none of the actual modes is correctly saturated.
Also it would be great to give DCIP3, Adobe RGB and srgb choice

With the advanced settings and white balance offered with Vivid-mode is sufficient for my needs.

How can you enable them?

That doesn't work on the s21 for me

From what I've heard, "natural" is actually pretty darn accurate now. I don't know what else one could want.

It works on s21 ultra, you just need to put natural, not vivid first, trough phone settings, then do the adb code as shown above.
after setting the mode from adb, go to the display-screen settings, and just exit(without choosing anything)

Odd look and lack of brightness -- Vivid vs Natural display

My 10+ arrived yesterday and so far I've been impressed with two exceptions. As mentioned in other threads my finger sensor leaves a lot to be desired but my point of this thread was about an odd look my screen had. It was not bright and sharp like my 8+. There was a yellowish tint. I went into the 8+ to see if there were any differences in my display settings and I fixed the problem my by changing the screen mode on the 10+ from natural to vivid (Settings > Display > Screen Mode). The options were different on the 8+ but on the newer version it's one of the two, vivid or natural.
Just wanted to share that in case anyone else is having the same issue.
One question. My 10+ came with the screen protector and I've never had one. I assume they take away at least a small percentage of your brightness and clarity? I'm tempted to remove mine to see.

Keep in mind that Natural should follow the sRGB color space. Most displays have default colors that are too cold/blue (high color temperature, and I know, it's counter intuitive but that's what they call it ). Relative to "colder screens", sRGB will seem warmer / more yellow. But it's also much more accurate as far as color representation goes, and should be closer to what you see with your eyes unfiltered by sunglasses. This assumes whatever image you're looking at is also taken with neutral colors and not over saturated.
I usually calibrate all my screens to have more accurate colors, at the expense of that "pop" you can get with AMOLED screens.

That "pop" is exactly what I'm looking for so would you suggest I stick with vivid? I understand what you're saying about the colors but it's not an area I'm real familiar with. I'm just not seeing a brightness on the level I prefer and yes I have it set as high as possible.

Yeah, you'll want to leave it on vivid if you want that "pop". I also know that when my current Google Pixel got the Pie update, the auto-brightness was a bit finicky at first, as it's an "intelligent" brightness and it takes a few days to learn your preferences for the right brightness based on the lighting conditions. So that might be the case with the S10 as well, and I should be picking up mine tomorrow so then I'll know more about how it works exactly.
Also I think I read somewhere that the S10 will only get very bright in direct sunlight if it's set to auto-brightness. You apparently can't set it to that level manually. So perhaps play around with that a bit.
Any news on this? I just picked up my s10 plus and the screen has a yellow tint and seems less bright compared to my note 8...not sure if I just ask for a replacement. Thanks!
I always run mine on Vivid and WQHD and as expected the S10 is spectacular

im surprised there isnt adaptive display mode like on the previous models this really made different colours pop. mine seems to have a bit of an orange tint
I also found it too yellow.. Go at the advanced settings and reduce the green close to the minimum and the red just a little bit. It will look white again..
Because of the sun light some people find yellowish colours more natural..
Yeah the whites don't look good on the s10 compared to my note 8
Just compared mine with different demo models and they all seem a bit more 'natural'. No need to swap it for a different one, allthough they all are a bit different...one more leaning towards blue white and the other to yellowish white.
Well coming from pixel 3, to me, Colors looks natural. S10 screen is crisp and clear. Nobody can best sammy when it comes to screens. I am using natural mode. Vivid mode is having too much pop.

So even I had the same thoughts when I got hands on my S10+. Was worried the screen had some issues and hence went to the Samsung store and compared with the display phones - there was no difference between what I had and the display ones. However, when I compared with my S8+ I found that S8+ display was more blue-ish than S10+. The response from Samsung was that by default Samsung had toned down the blue light in the S10 screens for improved readability.
However, I feel the colors had lesser contrast in my S10+ screen compared to my S8+ and that is a bummer - at least for me!

I have found that applying "blue light filter" and setting it's effect to minimum fixes the color saturation and reverses the washed out look on images. Another way is to go into visibility enhancements -> color adjustment -> then either apply a filter there like "Tritan" or "personalize color" and follow the steps. To me I cannot see any difference between the above steps or just simply applying "blue light filter" set to minimum. To me both look to correct the color saturation about the same.
I hope this helps you!
Hopefully they fix this soon!
Cheers ?

Hi guys. I think you might be encountering the display saturation bug.
The Galaxy S10 (USA Unlocked version in my case) has a peculiar bug in the display. When a photo is fully opened in an app such as Gallery, the photo's saturation becomes muted and cold (even with the display set to vivid and warm). It's very apparent with skin tones. I first noticed this when comparing identical photos between my S10 and S9.
If you hit the app switcher, the minimized card displays the photo with the correct saturation. Maximizing the app, causes the image to immediately turn washed out and Muted. This is appears to be a system wide bug, as it shows up in Gallery, Instagram and other places. I could not get this to show up with a screen recorder, since it's the display changing the image. I recorded it with my camera, but it appears very subtle. In person it is very obvious. I don't know how many are affected by this bug, but I'm seeing others talk about it on forums. Appears to affect all galaxy S10 models.
For a temporary fix, you can enable the blue light filter and set it to the MINIMUM setting. This will display photos in the Gallery and other apps with the correct color saturation. Hopefully Samsung will address this with a software update!

Stock Camera HDR

I have the unlocked Exynos variant and on the latest pie update. When I set the HDR(Rich tone) option to always enabled, the resultant shots don't look like they have any HDR processing applied, but if it's set to auto, the same shot comes with much better controlled highlights.
I'm new to this phone, albeit this is my first Samsung.
With previous phones I've used, whenever HDR was forced to on, it applied HDR to every shot taken.
Am I missing something here? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
i have read on some website that when you set HDR to on but not "Always apply" but "Apply when needed" the photos come out better.
Unfortunatly i cannot find that site atm.
Also i often pull down exposure a bit in bright sunlight because despite hdr some hightlights get clipped sometimes.
Just in case you dont know, exposure compensation works by tapping on the viewfinder to focus, then use the "bulb" slider that appears briefly just above the "trees" ( wide-angle - telephoto switch). It can be hard to see in bright light though.
Hope that helps a bit

White balance settings S20 FE Exynos

Hello everyone,so yesterday i recieved my new S20FE from my service provider. At first glance it seems to be a decent device. Anyway,while setting up the phone,i found that the "white balance" controls under the display settings,dont appear to be changing any colour aspects of my screen at all. No matter how i adjust the Red,Green and Blue control sliders,the the screen remains exactly the same.
Am i doing something wrong,or have i missed something? When compared to my Sony Xperia XZ2 which also has white balance controls that actually work,i may add. The Samsungs screen appears very dull and the whites are more of a cream tone than actual white,which frustrates me. Has anyone else had issues with the colour adjustment on their S20FE and is there a way to get my whites from cream to actual white?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
@Trace.Oneil I have the 5G snapdragon version and tested Vivid screen mode today. it was so garish that had to try adjusting the RGB values underneath. that too made ZERO DIFFERENCE on my phone.
I quickly went back to natural.
PS, I can't remember much about it but I've heard there's a 3rd screen mode that's hidden and can be activated with ADB. maybe look that up.

Thanks,i actually found that online and gave it a try. Although there are some differences between the modes,the RGB sliders still dont work with any of them so you cant fine-tune your screen to your preferred colour settings which is a total waste. Why even include it in the software build if it does'nt work.
I was wondering if the other modes take too much power and that's why they were hidden.
maybe that could apply to the slider ?

I doubt it would be a power issue. The mode to me that is the most intense with colour,is Vivid and that is not hidden. I think Samsung forgot about the RGB settings to be honest,and that is probably why they dont work.

How To Guide Camera hidden settings and features

Hi Everyone,
I love the camera of my MI11U. but there are a few tunings that I REALLY HATE!!! one of them is default beautify in selfie and portrait. taking photos of black objects (tried with GCAM which took a perfect shot). and a few minor others.
Searching here and there, I found a way to turn off and on some additional settings like beautify and some other functions. this will help whoever understand all these settings (not me ), so I thought to share this simple method and see your thoughts and outcomes. ***note that there are some settings are in Chinese***.
1 . go to file manager and go to phone storage....
2 . go to DCIM/camera
3 . make a new folder with the name mentioned below....
lab_options_visible
4 .save and exit.....
5 . go to settings and force stop the miui camera app....
6 . now launch the app.....
7 . go to camera settings menu of the app.....you will see new options available in there....
8 . just turn off beautify in portrait mode....
9 . come back....change to selfie mode....tap on the blue star.....now tap on clear.....
Hope this helps everyone to take better photos.
would much appreciate if we can share the benefits of these settings in order to get best results.
Wow, this is amazing. Thx

I am using GCam Wichaya 8.1.101 V1.4
it is not perfect, original xiaomi camera is impressive with all functions and control of device way better than GCam. but GCam is better in some conditions and scenarios like taking a photo of a far black object or photos of people. with Xiaomi, far black objects will be like a void in a photo and no details at all in it, and beautify is so annoying. with GCam, both are better, but colours are less vibrant and saturated.

The reason I made this thread is to share experience and understand what exactly they do. I really do not know any other that beautify in portrait disables it for all camera modes and not only portrait.
I found the following over internet by someone tested them on Mi10 devices, and some features are not mentioned or were disabled with previous devices. hope it helps at a start.
Internal magic tools : activates internal tools to improve the quality of photos and videos.
Face detection : the mobile camera can recognize the face and frame it in a box to improve the result.
Hide face detection frame automatically : this option hides the box that appears when activating the previous option but keeps the improvements.
Beautify in Portrait mode : Activate beauty mode in all camera modes.
Turn on dual camera : turn on dual camera to enhance photos.
Turn on dual SAT camera – currently does not have a user function.
Turn on MFNR : when activated, the device takes 6 consecutive shots which when superimposed and eliminate the noise from the photo.
Turn on SR : with this option the resolution of the image is enlarged as if the sensor of the mobile were larger.
Turn on quick shot animation : activate the quick shot animation in the app.

Thanks for explaining the features.
Thanks for the tip. One of the options I really like to see is the ability to pick the metering type (full frame average, center weighted average or spot metering). Can be quite useful. Seems like center weighted is the default.

Tried on xiaomi.eu latest weekly and didn't work. There is a modded miui cam in a Telegram group. Can't give TG links since some butthurt people hate me and sharing TG links appears to be against the "rules". Just search up "Sevtinge's Mods". That cam got many more options to tweak for, especially the Leica stuff.

Question Pro mode in the cam

I can't pro mode it's not available to the pixel ? How can I get good quality pro mode?
What do you mean by "pro mode"? The Pixel camera has various photo/video modes, quick settings and more settings plus advanced settings. What else would you need? Pretty unspecific post.
Manual camera controls is not available in Pixels so you have to use 3rd party camera apps.
There are Exposure and White balance controls though. Go into camera settings>more settings and turn them on under manual controls. Once you have done that, you can access them by tapping the screen.
