Samsung introduced dozens of new features and improvements with the One UI 7.0 update. Since the release of the One UI 7.0 beta update, some minor features have been discovered. One such feature is the ability to disable Super HDR across the system.
Disable Super HDR completely on Galaxy S24
The Galaxy S24 was Samsung's first device to feature Super HDR. It is a system-wide feature that has the capability to capture, display, and publish images and videos with a high dynamic range. However, some people don't like how those images and videos appear. For such people, One UI 7.0 offers the ability to disable Super HDR altogether (via Android Authority).
You can do that by navigating to Settings » Advanced features and disabling the Super HDR toggle.
With One UI 6.1, Samsung only offered the Super HDR toggle in the stock Gallery app. Disabling the feature only prevented the display from getting brighter in the Gallery app. With the toggle disabled in phones running One UI 7.0, Super HDR gets disabled even in third-party apps like Instagram and Threads.
What is Super HDR on Samsung Galaxy phones?
Samsung's Super HDR feature is based on Google's Ultra HDR format. On compatible devices, it allows for capturing images and videos in a high dynamic range, displaying HDR images and videos with higher brightness, and even publishing those images in HDR format on supported apps.
Currently, only the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 6, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition support Super HDR.
When you browse those images and videos on apps like Instagram on a supported phone, the display gets brighter to display the highlights more faithfully. However, some people don't like this behavior, and they can now disable it with One UI 7.0.
