Samsung How to Adjust Display Settings

The Samsung device automatically activates its screen as soon as the device is lifted. This is the "Lift to activate" motion function that is enabled by default. The function can be turned on or off in the motion and gesture settings.

The "Adaptive Brightness" automatically controls the display brightness on the Samsung device according to the lighting conditions and, if activated, overrides the manual setting.

Whether with or without a lock screen, it can happen from time to time that the screen of the Samsung device is activated and unwanted entries are made. On Samsung devices, there is therefore a "accidental touch protection" function. If the device is in a dark place, for example in a pocket or trouser pocket, entries/touching are ignored.

Screen zoom allows elements as well as fonts to be resized. Screen zoom on the Samsung device is equivalent to changing the screen resolution on a computer. In addition to the font, buttons, apps, icons, navigation bar and other elements are also enlarged or reduced in size.

On the Samsung device, you can change the colour scheme or select a screen mode. In addition to the Natural mode, there is also the Vivid mode, which can be adjusted in white balance between cool and warm.

On the Samsung device, the touch sensitivity of the touch screen can be increased to allow the device to be used with a screen protector (protective film).

The screen belongs to the no. 1 battery consumer, so the brightness also plays a major role in how long the battery lasts. On Samsung devices, the brightness can be adjusted either manually or automatically to suit the lighting conditions. For manual adjustment, the adaptive brightness can be turned on, but it is always overwritten.

Note: The brightness can also be changed manually using the quick settings.

The screen on the Samsung device can automatically rotate to portrait (Portrait) or landscape (Standard). Alternatively, the screen can be locked in both positions. To lock a screen in the desired position, you must first activate automatic rotation. Then hold the Samsung device in the desired format and lock the screen using the status bar.

Note: The home screen cannot be rotated by default, this can be enabled in a separate setting [Instructions].

The screen timeout controls the time until the Samsung device's display goes into sleep mode. By default, the display turns off after 30 seconds of inactivity. The sleep timeout can be changed to the following options

• 15 seconds
• 30 seconds
• 1 minute
• 2 minutes
• 5 minutes
• 10 minutes
• 30 minutes

The night mode is also available on Android 9 for Samsung devices running One UI. The night mode changes to a darker theme to protect the eyes.
On devices with an OLED display, the battery consumption is also greatly reduced. The night mode can be turned on/off either manually or by a schedule.
