Just received my brand new S21U and the first thing I usually do with all my devices is set brightness to 30%.  What I found though is that it's clearly a lot brighter than any of my previous Samsung phones (S20 Ultra, Note 10+ 5G).  In fact I found just 13% brightness is the equivalent setting.  Perhaps a slight adjustment to the slider is needed.

Just completed my first full charge 25w which took just under 1h 15m, which isn't too shabby. Only 10 - 15mins longer than s20 Ultra with 45w charger

@XanderC what is the battery life like on yours S21? I love my S20 but I just find the battery a little on the short side

Thank you for that advice.  I saw many posts about photos being over-saturated.  I called Samsung and after all the typical reboot/reset advice it was suggested I do a total reset of my phone.  I decided against it since it is only the over-saturation issue.  I considered replacing my phone but finding the setting to reduce saturation did the trick.  You saved me a lot of money today!  Thanks!
