A smartphone’s display should look crisp and balanced. But sometimes, the Galaxy S25 FE may show washed-out tones, overly warm colors, or strange tints that make images and videos look off. Luckily, Samsung provides built-in tools to adjust color settings, and a few quick fixes can restore the display to its best state.
Why Your Galaxy S25 FE Might Have Display Color Issues
- Screen mode set to the wrong profile.
- Adaptive color settings causing oversaturation or dullness.
- Software glitches after updates.
- Third-party apps altering display filters.
- Hardware-related problems with the display panel.
Adjust Screen Mode.
Samsung gives you different screen modes that change how colors appear. If your display looks too dull or too saturated, switching modes often helps.
- Open Settings, and then tap Display.
- Tap Screen mode, and then select between Vivid or Natural to see which looks better to your eyes.
You can also adjust the white balance slider under Vivid mode to fine-tune warmth or coolness.
Reset Color Preferences.
Sometimes custom adjustments can distort colors. Resetting them ensures the display returns to factory calibration.
- Open Settings, and then tap Display.
- Tap Screen mode, and then restore the settings to default by resetting any custom sliders.
This gives you a clean slate, especially if past tweaks made colors appear unnatural.
Disable Third-Party Screen Filters.
Apps like blue light filters or theme-based overlays can affect how colors appear. Removing or disabling them can bring back accurate tones.
- Go to Settings, and then tap Apps.
- Review installed apps and disable or uninstall any display filter apps you do not need.
Update Software.
Display calibration issues can be linked to firmware bugs. Keeping your Galaxy S25 FE updated ensures Samsung’s patches are applied.
- Open Settings, and then tap Software update.
- Tap Download and install, and then follow the prompts if an update is available.
Test in Safe Mode.
If you are unsure whether apps are interfering with the display, Safe Mode can confirm it. In Safe Mode, only system apps run, making it easy to isolate the cause.
- Hold the Side key and Volume Down key, and then tap and hold Power off.
- Tap Safe Mode, and then check if the color issue persists. If it does not, a third-party app is the culprit.
If Safe Mode shows normal colors, uninstall recently added apps until the issue is fixed.
Reset All Settings.
When calibration problems continue, resetting all settings can eliminate hidden misconfigurations without erasing your personal data.
- Open Settings, and then tap General management.
- Tap Reset, and then tap Reset all settings. Confirm the reset to restore defaults.
This can resolve display problems caused by conflicting settings.
Fixing color calibration issues on the Galaxy S25 FE is often a matter of adjusting screen modes or removing interfering apps. If none of these solutions work, the problem could be hardware-related, and visiting a Samsung service center is the best next step.
FAQs
Why do colors look oversaturated on my Galaxy S25 FE?
The display may be set to Vivid mode, which boosts colors for a more vibrant look. Switching to Natural mode usually gives more realistic tones.
Can third-party apps really affect display colors?
Yes. Apps with screen filters, blue light adjustments, or overlay features can distort calibration. Removing them often fixes the issue.
What if none of the fixes solve my problem?
If color issues remain after trying all solutions, it may be a hardware fault with the display panel. In that case, visiting a Samsung service center is recommended.
