Samsung’s upcoming One UI 7 update, now in beta, includes a handy new feature: the ability to disable HDR content system-wide. This update targets those moments when HDR content unexpectedly becomes overly bright on apps like Instagram or YouTube. Users can now maintain consistent screen brightness across all applications.
One UI 7 Super HDR Toggle in Settings
Samsung has placed the new Super HDR toggle in the Advanced Features section of the Settings app. By turning off this toggle, your device will stop automatically adjusting for HDR content. HDR, which enhances brightness, color, and contrast, can sometimes be too intense. This feature ensures that the display remains steady, even when HDR content is present.
This control applies not only to Samsung’s own apps but also to third-party apps like YouTube and Instagram. This broad functionality is made possible because Samsung uses Google’s Ultra HDR format for its Super HDR feature.
Wide Support for HDR-Disabled Content
What makes this update even more useful is its ability to handle HDR content from various sources. Disabling Super HDR doesn’t just affect content shot on Samsung Galaxy devices—it also works for third-party apps and HDR media captured on other Android devices. This ensures a seamless experience for users interacting with mixed HDR content.
Availability of One UI 7
Currently, One UI 7 is in its second beta phase for the Galaxy S24 series. The stable version is expected to roll out to more Galaxy devices in early 2025. This feature is another example of Samsung’s commitment to improving customization and user control in its software updates.
If you often encounter HDR content that’s too bright, the Super HDR toggle might become one of your favorite tools. It’s a simple but effective way to take charge of your viewing experience. Stay tuned for more One UI 7 updates as Samsung continues refining its interface.
