Samsung is addressing a common issue with its upcoming One UI 7 update for Galaxy devices. It will include a system-wide toggle to control HDR content brightness, a feature that has been absent from Android devices until now. When the new Samsung software rolls out, no longer will you be subject to splashes of extreme brightness out of nowhere.

Loading up HDR photos and videos can be a great way of showcasing the fancy display on your new phone and testing just how bright it can get.

What’s even better is that Samsung’s new toggle applies to every app on your phone, giving you a uniform experience no matter where you’re browsing.
