The phone remains easy to read even in bright sunlight. However, it can appear a bit too bright in dim lighting. Galaxy S25 Ultra - Colour Accuracy The S25 Ultra improves on colour fidelity showing better accuracy in Faithful Mode than the S24 Ultra. It also reduces colour shifts at different angles. However, despite optimised blue-light management, higher emissions in night mode prevented it from receiving DXOMARK’s Eye Comfort label. Galaxy S25 Ultra - Video Performance Samsung has enhanced video playback, particularly in low-light conditions, where the S24 Ultra had struggles. The S25 Ultra’s HDR peak luminance in low light is now 24 nits, ensuring a comfortable and well-balanced viewing experience. The phone also maintains smooth local contrasts in dim environments and indoors. Moreover, no frame drops were detected in playback tests. Galaxy S25 Ultra - Touch Interaction Touch response is smooth for web browsing and gallery navigation.
