Samsung is known to pack in a ton of features within its custom skin over Android. One cool feature you might want to use is the Video Enhancer. If you watch movies or shows on your Samsung phone, then this feature can elevate the experience. The feature can be enabled or disabled manually. Therefore, if you don’t like what it offers, you can easily turn it off.
Moreover, the feature automatically supports multiple different applications on which you can consume content. Apps such as YouTube, Prime Video, Netflix, Hotstar, and the default video player are supported. Without further ado, let’s check out how to enable the video enhancer feature on Samsung smartphones.
Toggle on Video Enhancer
Follow the steps below to enable the feature on your Samsung smartphone. In case the option does not show up on your device, your device isn’t supported.
- Launch the Settings menu on your phone.
- Scroll halfway down and tap the Advance features option.
- You’ll have to scroll down again and then toggle the Video enhancer or Video brightness option. Just turn it on by tapping the toggle button or select the Bright option as shown below.
Additionally, you can tap Video enhancer or Video brightness to check out the supported apps. The apps that show up on the list are the ones that are installed on your phone. Therefore, the next time you launch any of the listed apps, you should see a noticeable difference. This difference will be in the automatic increase in brightness and the colors on the screen will be a bit more vivid.

As soon as you exit the supported app, the viewing experience will go back to normal. It’s also worth noting that you can manually lower the screen brightness when it increases automatically. This feature can be a pain at night since the brightness increases if you launch an app supported by a video enhancer. Thus, if you consume content at night, we’d suggest turning down the brightness to avoid eye strain.
What the feature does not do?
While the video enhancer feature might sound like it increases the resolution of a low-quality video, that isn’t the case. Enabling this feature will not upscale low-res content. As mentioned earlier, this feature simply boosts the saturation and adjusts the contrast. Therefore, it might not be suitable for those who prefer slightly muted or less saturated colors. Moreover, Samsung smartphones already have some of the best displays on any phone. Hence, you’ll probably love watching shows and movies on the device without turning on this feature.
