Samsung’s new Galaxy S25 series has resolved the controversial “mura effect” display issue that plagued last year’s S24 phones, addressing one of the most significant complaints from users about the previous generation.
Why it matters: Eliminating the grainy display effect fundamentally improves the user experience for night-time viewing, demonstrating Samsung’s responsiveness to customer feedback while maintaining its position in the premium smartphone market.
Technical Details: The display improvement is most noticeable in low-light conditions where the S24 series struggled with uniformity and clarity. The new panels show significantly better performance at low brightness levels:
- Smoother gradient rendering
- Improved color consistency
- Better dark mode visibility
User Impact: The fix addresses a major pain point for users who frequently use their phones in dark environments:
- Night-time reading improved
- Better movie viewing experience
- Reduced eye strain
Ice Universe, tech leaker: “It has been confirmed that the S25 Ultra has fixed the issue of particles appearing in the S24 Ultra at low brightness, and the screen quality”, he said.
Looking Forward: While Samsung has resolved the display issues, the company continues to face challenges in other areas, including changes to the S Pen functionality and increasing competition in the premium smartphone segment.
