One UI 7 lets you stop HDR photos from making your screen super bright

[phillynews215]

• One UI 7 will let you stop HDR photos from making your Galaxy phone’s screen become super bright.
• This is because the “Super HDR” toggle in One UI 7 now works system-wide instead of only in the Samsung Gallery app.
• The new location of the “Super HDR” toggle in One UI 7 is under Settings > Advanced features.

To fully appreciate the benefits of HDR photography, you need to have a device with an HDR-capable display. When viewed on such a display, HDR photos reveal greater detail in both the highlights and shadows. However, accurately reproducing this extended dynamic range often requires the display to significantly increase its brightness. This sudden shift in brightness can be jarring, especially when browsing social media at night. As a result, some users have been looking for ways to temporarily stop their Android phones from displaying HDR content, but the Android OS doesn’t offer such an option. Samsung is thankfully addressing this issue on its own in its upcoming One UI 7 update for Galaxy devices.

While digging through the One UI 7 beta release for the Galaxy S24, we discovered that Samsung had relocated the “Super HDR” toggle. Instead of being tucked within the Samsung Gallery app’s settings, “Super HDR” is now found under Settings > Advanced features in One UI 7. The description of the “Super HDR” toggle remains unchanged in One UI 7, still stating that it “automatically adjust[s] the display to show the full range of colors and contrast in pictures taken with Galaxy devices.”
