Samsung One UI 7 lets you fine-tune Super HDR feature

One UI 7 upgrades the Super HDR control on Samsung devices. One UI 6.1.1 lets you disable the Super HDR feature within the Gallery app. With the latest iteration of One UI, Samsung made it a system-wide functionality.

Samsung’s Super HDR is simply what Google launched as Ultra HDR. The feature automatically adjusts supported displays to show HDR content. However, it turns into the worst nightmare when you use your phone at night.

One UI 7 has added the Super HDR in Advanced features options within Settings. You can turn off the feature through Settings > Advanced features > Super HDR. It will universally apply the adjustment for the entire operating system.

Simply put, HDR photos come with greater detail in both the highlights and shadows. To display the excessive details, the smartphone’s screen requires higher brightness. It results in excessive brightness even when brightness is adjusted low.

Ultra HDR is a nice addition to the Android operating system. Samsung has also adopted the feature for Galaxy phones with compatible displays. Meanwhile, the usability remains a case to be decided on the user’s part.

There was a serious demand to upgrade the HDR control over the display and Samsung made Super HDR a global (system-wide) feature. Now, you can consider switching off the Super HDR to stop the display lighting up on HDR content.

The One UI 7 is currently available on Galaxy S24 series under Beta Program. Samsung is rumored to start the rollout of the new OS in early February. A roadmap may drop at the Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22 next year.
