Samsung Enhances One UI 7 with Groundbreaking HDR Control Feature
The beta version of Samsung’s One UI 7 has introduced a highly anticipated feature that empowers users to disable HDR content across all Galaxy devices. For those who have experienced an overwhelming flash of excessive brightness from HDR visuals on platforms like Instagram or YouTube, this addition will undoubtedly prove valuable.
Streamlined Settings for Brightness Control
This new functionality can be found within the Advanced Features section in the device’s Settings menu. By toggling off Super HDR, users can prevent their screens from automatically adjusting to showcase the extensive color spectrum and contrast typical of HDR content, ensuring consistent brightness levels throughout all applications.

Compatibility Beyond Samsung Devices
A notable aspect of this update is that Samsung’s Super HDR utilizes Google’s Ultra HDR format. Consequently, deactivating this feature affects not only native applications but also extends support to third-party apps and videos taken with different Android smartphones, thereby broadening its usability beyond just Galaxy devices.
Timeline for Release
The ongoing beta testing for One UI 7 is currently focused on the Galaxy S24 series. Plans are in place for it to reach additional devices throughout 2025, suggesting that more users will soon benefit from enhanced control over their visual experience.
