Washed out dull colours on S25 vs S22

[Aadil177]

Just 'upgraded' to the S25 from S22, seems every year the displays are becoming more dull and less vibrant in colours (even with vivid settings maxed out). 

Why are you copying iPhone in everything; UI, dull displays etc?

I'm sure even my S6 had a brighter display than this

Or is this the cost cutting measure mentioned by Samsung?

If you go into settings
Display and then go into screen mode
Select vivid and then go into advanced
You can make it even more vivid with the slider

Looking at the iPhone 16 Pro Max I have in my hand. It looks quite vivid with its colours
I prefer natural setting
Vivid even to my old eyes is way too gordy and over saturated when I set the vivid to full
Non of my old Samsung phone were that much

Must be staring at off angles or something because there's no way the S24 Ultra or S25 Ultra screens are "less Vivid" than prior Samsung phones. In fact if you watch any content that actually utilises the Full HDR capabilities of the newer phones, you'll notice that slightly better colour vibrancy.

From the horses mouth. Samsungs own statement

[Aadil177]

They've ruined one of the best features of samsungs, the vibrant displays

Not really, actually use the phones for content with HDR and try tell me they're worse screens...

I own multiple Samsung devices of various generations (S8+, Note 10+ 5G, S21 Ultra, S25 Ultra), there is no way that any of the older phones match the level of the S25 Ultras colours, contrast and brightness with content.

Yeah that was a press release before they allowed the vivid adjustments.
Standard response from last year

Brightness is better. Colours are worse.

I've compared the same samsung dynamic wallpapers on both phones. S22 is far better for colours. My S10E is even better.
