Is the Galaxy S24 Ultra the best Android phone money can buy right now? Our full review of Samsung's latest crown jewel certainly seems to suggest so, but while many early adopters have taken to social media to express their satisfaction with the camera capabilities, overall performance and new tricks AI of the 6.8-inch super-flagship, a significant number of users seem to have a big problem with the handset's display.<\/p>\n
What seems to be the problem this time?<\/h2>\nTo begin with, we are going to call this controversy \u201cgrainygate\u201d in order to easily distinguish it from hardware malfunctions and (non)bugs which we have already talked about at length since the Galaxy S24<\/a><\/span>S24 Plus and S24 Ultra made their commercial debut on January 31.<\/div>\nIn a word, it seems that quite a few units from the S24 series<\/a> purchased around the world show themselves in low light, having great difficulty displaying clear and uniform images especially on a gray or dark background. Most people who have noticed this describe the screen as having a grainy quality or grainy texture<\/a>while others say there appears to be a “layer of still static on top of the darker colors”.<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"Another](\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Yet-another-Galaxy-S24-series-display-issue-is-spreading-like.jpg\")
<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe best and most complete explanation comes from a Redditor<\/a> who claims to be a scientist with over a decade of experience in the OLED panel industry, but hundreds of “everyday” users without (presumably) any PhD in this field are clearly bothered by the exact same thing.<\/div>\nApparently known in the industry as “mura”, the problem is usually “minimized” in a phone's pre-production process to a “degree where human eyes can barely tell”. For whatever reason, Samsung may not have done this (or at least not succeeded), shipping at least an early batch of S24 series<\/a> devices with what “erodeloeht” on Reddit calls “displays. really bad quality”.<\/div>\nAre these units defective? Not exactly. Is there anything you can do to fix the problem once you notice it? Probably not, as this is likely due to poorly tested and optimized hardware rather than faulty software. Should you return your S24, S24+ or S24 Ultra? This is certainly your choice and your choice only and may also depend on a number of other factors.<\/div>\nHow many problems are too many problems?<\/h2>\n
This, my friends, is the key question you need to ask yourself before deciding whether or not to keep your Galaxy S24<\/span> standard device or not. And while grainygate (or mura) might not seem like a big deal to some people, it only really becomes noticeable at very low light levels during a few<\/span> users of a few<\/span> units, the previously reported issues have definitely affected more users to a greater extent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Another](\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1707813525_557_Yet-another-Galaxy-S24-series-display-issue-is-spreading-like.jpg\")
