I was in a shop looking at s11 and generally playing with it and put the screen brightness up to full and was not that impressed so i compared it to the galaxy s in the same shop and the screen on that seemed much brighter and vibrant than the s II, maybee its just another setting i didnt find but the galaxy s screen looked better to me which really supprised me, can anyone with both phones confirm this by doing a comparison and has anyone else noticed it.
There is now way in this god given earth that a SGS screen is better than this. Brightness can vary from SAMOLED to SAMOLED, as every screen is different. But + will always be better because of its density and screen reaction time. My mates SGSII is very blue, mine is pure white with a hint of blue. But when any screens brightness is on low it may look a bit yellowish, that is the only downside of.SAMOLED. Trust me, this phone is fried gold

It's the automatic screen power, turn it off, changes alot.
Also in the display settings you can set it to standard, dynamic or movie.
Just like you can with a samsung tv.
I have used a Galaxy S from an year until recently last week, i exchanged it to get a new Galaxy S II. I like the phone very much and i still think its the best phone ever made. But i notice that even my screen has the yellow discoloration problem as others. I don't bother much about it but what made me curious was that a friend of mine purchased a new Galaxy S a few days back when i brought my S II. I put both the displays side by side and noticed this
1) The display of the Galaxy S was much brighter than my S II at 0 and 100 levels of brightness. I felt that my S II screen was more dull and yellowish while that of S was brighter and greyish
2) In direct sunlight, the visibility of the Galaxy S screen was more than my S II at both 0 and 100 levels of brightness.
I was surprised by these findings and I want to know whether
a) Super AMOLED+ brightness is supposed to be better than Super AMOLED ?
b) Or does my SII have a faulty screen and can i get it replaced ( purchased mine a week back) ?
To be honest, i always used my old Galaxy S at 0% brightness and even at times i felt it was too much brightness in a dark room, so used the Screenfilter app. But thats not the case with my S II, i have to use it at around 20% in the same dark room. So, i want to know whether my particular screen is defective or is it the same for everyone else ?
Settings display background effect: choose dynamic
And you can turn off the adjust screen for power option in display settings

u sure u disabled power saving mode for the display? That usually causes a duller/greyish screen...

All I can say, we all have the same GS II, same screen, same Yellowish tint, Bluish white in Auto/Low Brightness, some admit it, some not. If you wanna exchange it, exchange it, but I bet you will a same screen like before. And the comparison about Super AMOLED and Super AMOLED +, I too think that S-AMOLED is better than Plus in case of Low/Auto Brightness. I previously had a Wave S8500, and I never turned the Brightness to even 1 in one year as on lowest settings the screen was gorgeous. But I can't say that for GS II. I disabled the Auto brightness already, I just can't take that Bluish White effect. I am on 20%, the screen is cool now, still I am not that impressed with it as I thought I'd be. I don't think it's a feature of S-AMOLED Plus screens but a manufacturing fault, now Samsung admits it or not it's a different story. But I still hope that a Firmware update could turn things in the right way, just a hope. I purchased this device for only having another OLED screen, cause I've saw ARC and Play, and they just couldn't stand against my Wave, but if I knew that GS II would have this type of screen I'd not ignored those phones. Let one more OLED+ device from Samsung get released and if that one has this problem too, I am out from Samsung forever, yea I know they simply don't care for one customer, but I do care for me.
Regards.
I have disabled the Power saving mode, and also tried the three different modes- standard, dynamic, and movie. But i didn't find much difference. SAMOLED+ is supposed to be brighter than SAMOLED, right ? Other than this the phone is marvelous !!!

I used a Galaxy S and it was an excellent phone with Lagfix and Darkys ROM. Briefly, in between I used an Xperia Play for a few days and it was so laggy, many apps used to force close, etc. So i decided to go for a dual core and I think there is no match for S II in this regard. I am very satisified with this but just wanted to know about this SAMOLED+ screen and it was supposed to be better than SAMOLED. To be honest, i always used my old Galaxy S at 0% brightness and even at times i felt it was too much brightness in a dark room and hence used the Screenfilter app. But thats not the case with my S II, i have to use it at around 20% in the same dark room.

Whoa there! Extreme much? You'll never get another Samsung because the screen isn't bright enough at 0% brightness? Lol. Are you serious? Oh well, to each his own.

The plus got nothing to do with brightness but with subpixels. Its red blue and green in every subpixel where amoled got red green and blue green. Makes the image sharper to read.

Yes, that's correct. It's not an improvement for me coming from S-AMOLED and I don't like it. When I've seen better I won't bear a lesser.
You are correct in that part.

Does anyone know, how much power is saved by using the display powersave mode? I just tried turning it off and the screen looks much brighter and crisper. Is activating power save mode worth it?

SGS is slightly brighter than SGS II. It's in almost every review that measures screen brightness. AMOLED Plus was updated for sharpness, not brightness.

I am not bothered about the yellow tint either. What bothers me is the brightness level of SGSII when compared to a SGSI. Having used a SGSI for an year, the new SGS II has to be atleast equal to it. But lesser than the previous one is unacceptable. Thats my point

Yeah it seems a strange comment.... one thing that always annoyed me about the original Galaxy S was the screen was TOO bright on the lowest setting - it was a nightmare if you were using it in bed with the lights off.
Not sure if its me trying to adjust to the S6 Edge screen coming from a HTC One M7 or what but boy why is the screen brightness bad on the S6 Edge? Thought Samsung got better with these screens, I compared my S6 Edge with my mom's S5 and her phone was noticeably brighter, how?! Also, I saw reviews saying that under direct sunlight, the screen brightness can go pretty high and I tested it putting a flash light onto the sensor and wow did it make a difference, why can't we have that high of a brightness on this beautiful phone all the time?! sorry if this offends some people, just very disappointed with the brightness on this phone ugh.
Not sure what's going on for you, Im on auto but the slider is the lowest it can go and it's bright enough for everything except strong sunlight when I had to move the slider up a bit. The screen is bright, perhaps a setting or software bug?
Well now something is up. So I'm not even using auto brightness and the screen goes brighter in lighted areas and then dims when I'm outside at night, is this normal?

Do you have adaptive display set? This could be whats changing the contrast etc even though you don't have auto set.
I'm hoping that the custom based TW gets rid of the brightness lock or whatever Samsung tough was smart to do lol
wide spread issue right now...http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-auto-brightness-issues-strange-glitch-5.html
I sent this video to the Samsung assistance in NL (where I bought the phone). They replied that they were not able to see the youtube video!! How can we expect they fix this bug if they are not even able to watch a simple video of youtube...are they monkeys or what at the Samsung customer care??

Let me tell you one thing. Samsung care or services or whatever they do are crap. They will try to find as much freaking way possible to avoid helping/exchage/repair. My device have camera blur issue ( when zoomed in ) yes zoomed in will blur but the blur is crap. Even my old note 3 can take sharper picture when zoomed in. My usb port is out of position and the separate plastic coating around it is broken. Regarding all these issue, Samsung said to me that it is not an issue and just minor and it can't claim for repair or exchange. Screw samsung in customer care. Their phone is great if you get a perfectly well builded phone. If your phone happen to have problem, you are gonna have painful days.

No problem. The phone is 850 euro, I returned and I didn't loose anything. Maybe I will in a month of so buy it again if it is solved. If there is any other issue, no problem, you have 14 days to return it.

I have the same problem I only noticed when I put my s6 edge next to regular s6 on max brightness the s6 screen is brighter, but when I turn on and off the auto brightness on the s6 edge the problem goes away till i lock the phone and it dim again, it's software bug, samsung too busy making money right now so it will take them min to get update fix.
Did android 5.1.1 update solve the brightness bug? I mean this seems really a huge bug how is it possible that samsung didn't come out with a solution yet?
Disable the power saving mode then

Absolutely not. It's the first thing everybody disabled. It's not related to that. It's a bug of the s6 edge still not solved.
The Trivo guy said its a software issue. He said in a post somewhere that he installed the galaxy S6 ROM and the brightness issue was fixed. Hope its juts a software bug. Fingers crossed

Hey Im having the problem in the video but opposite, I have a case that goes over my screen kind of like a wallet case with a see through window so I can see .Estates I get, anyways when the case is open (brightness auto is off and turned all the way up) it's dimmed, but when I put the case over the screen it because full brightness again? Is this the same glitch going on or do I need to fix something?
just go to setting/ then > Display & finally under brightness scrollbar turn off > Auto adjust brightness. Hope everything shinning again……..
