Samsung is set to introduce a new feature in its upcoming One UI 7 update that allows Galaxy phone users to disable HDR content across all apps. This addition, currently in beta, includes a “Super HDR” toggle in the settings menu.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) content enhances visual experiences by offering a broader spectrum of colors and contrasts. However, the increased brightness can be overwhelming, especially in low-light environments. Samsung’s new “Super HDR” toggle provides users with the flexibility to manage this feature, ensuring a more comfortable viewing experience across various applications.

The setting, found under Settings > Advanced features > Super HDR, comes with a description that might initially confuse: “automatically adjust the display to show the full range of colors and contrast in pictures taken with Galaxy devices.” While this might suggest it enables HDR, it actually does the opposite when toggled off. It provides a soothing balm for our retinas by preventing the screen from becoming a beacon of light in a dark room.

In contrast, Apple does not offer a specific HDR toggle for iPhones. Users can avoid HDR content by enabling low-power mode, but this affects several other system functionalities. Additionally, while Instagram on iOS allows users to disable HDR in the app’s settings under “media quality,” this option is not available on Android. Samsung’s new toggle thus provides a more straightforward solution for managing HDR brightness on their devices.
