Samsung’s One UI 7 update, which is in beta phase, brings an important innovation to Galaxy devices. Thanks to a newly added system-level option, users will now be able to disable HDR (High Dynamic Range) content in all applications. This feature can be quite useful, especially for those who are disturbed by the bright HDR content that suddenly appears on platforms such as Instagram or YouTube.
The option to turn off HDR content is located under the “Advanced Features” section of the Settings application. When this option is disabled, the screen’s ability to automatically adapt to the color and contrast balance in HDR content is stopped. This provides a more consistent screen brightness experience across applications.
Samsung uses Google’s Ultra HDR format when developing this feature. In this way, the HDR disabling option is not limited to Samsung devices only. It also works effectively on third-party applications and HDR content saved from other Android devices. This makes the feature widely available and allows users to view different types of content in a more controlled manner.
One UI 7 is in its second beta phase
One UI 7 is currently being tested in its second beta phase for the Galaxy S24 series. The full version is expected to be available on more Samsung devices in 2025. Along with wide device support, this feature can provide great convenience, especially for users who experience brightness problems caused by HDR content.
Samsung continues its competition in the Android ecosystem with such innovations aimed at improving user experience. Options such as HDR content control can be considered as steps that will meet the expectations of users looking for a more personalized screen experience.
