The Samsung Galaxy S24 series didn’t exactly make waves, but it did release to a considerable level of fanfare. That said, there’s been a persistent complaint regarding its display, particularly in the Vivid Color profile mode. Fortunately, it looks like Samsung has been listening to its users after all, with a reliable leak indicating a quick fix for it very soon.
The Original Vivid Profile Issue
The problem with the Vivid color profile on the Galaxy S24 series was initially discovered by users who noted that when activating this mode, colors appeared muted or similar to the base color profile, contrary to expectations. This discrepancy was observed through regular usage and comparisons with previous Samsung models known for vibrant display colors.
Speculation then sat between it being either a software or hardware fault, prompting discussions and arguments online. Some users also conducted tests and engaged with Samsung’s customer support, seeking clarification. While a screenshot from a conversation with a Samsung support worker hinted at an upcoming software fix, Samsung’s official stance initially remained unclear. However, there were even a few statements suggesting the muted colors were intentional design choices.

Official “Fix” on the Way?
Thankfully, a recent development in the issue suggests that Samsung is finally gearing up to address this concern (while also confirming that it was never intentional). According to reliable tipster IceUniverse, an upcoming software update for the Galaxy S24 series will introduce a new slider under the display white balance settings. This slider will allow users to adjust the vividness of colors to their preference.
So, in a nutshell, this “Vividness” option enhancement will soon allow users to fine-tune the vividness of their display through a three-tiered adjustment system. The default setting will then maintain the current “muted version” found on the S24, which hopefully ensures satisfaction for those who were never bothered with it in the first place.

Other Thoughts and Observations
Interestingly, before we had more official details regarding the issue, a few unexpected theories did float around, which were considerably convincing. For example, one postulated that the new Gorilla Glass Armor and its improved glare protection might cause weird color changes on the screen. After all, the S24 series continued using newer and newer Gorilla Glass options in every release.
Regardless of the wait time, the tweet’s revelation comes as welcome news to Galaxy enthusiasts eagerly anticipating a resolution to the Vivid Profile issue for the last few weeks. IceUniverse’s track record of accurate leaks lends credibility to this development, with everyone pretty much confident that the update is finally on its way.
