Galaxy S24’s First Big Update Goes Live Right on Time: Camera, Screen Improvements Here
The on-device changelog can been seen below and it brings back the vagueness. It says that they “added a vividness option” to let you adjust the vividness of your screen, applied “image quality and sharpness optimization code,” improved device behavior (stability and reliability), and tossed in security enhancements.
Samsung lists a generic list of improvements - device stability, new and or enhanced features, further improvements, etc, but there's a lot going on. Inside the display mode's advanced settings now sits a slider to adjust just how much vividness you want applied to your screen. Samsung has said that it thinks the natural tuning is superior, so this update doesn't change it, you need to do it manually.
Here's the full changelog, according to a Samsung moderator:
