Well I got my S20 today and I've been playing with the camera some. It seems to oversaturate the pics quite a bit, especially outside in the sun.
Here are some. Do you guys have that issue?
Is there anything I can do about it? I've changed any camera settings I thought could have been causing it and the pics still seem the same. They're nice and sharp but I don't like the oversaturation.

Here were a few better ones, but not in direct sunlight.

Are they oversaturated just when you look at them on your phone? These look fine to me on a desktop pc. A couple of them are a bit vibrant but the saturation isn't a problem. If it's just when you're looking at them on the phone, change your display settings to natural instead of vivid. The photo editor app can also be used to desaturate them a bit if you want to look at that.

No, I tried them on my apple MacBook and on the phone I'm replacing.
These two especially seem really off.

The first thing I did was change display from vivid to natural, I had to do that on my last phone too.

Yeah, that's a vibrance issue, not a saturation issue. is HDR on?

No I have HDR off.

Those pics look pretty good to me. A few are a little too vibrant. I would make sure scene optimizer and auto HDR are off.

You can always shoot in PRO mode. In that mode you can set the saturation before you take the image and you have full control of WB, shutter speed, ISO, etc. It will also shoot in raw in pro mode.

It might be easier to shoot in normal mode and adjust saturation on the few images you don't like later in the photo editor app. I dropped the saturation to -13 on these two and that seemed to help.

I've been playing with it more and it seems to just be midday sometimes. So I'm not going to worry about it.

This helped a lot. I didn't know pro mode existed, haha. This was exactly what I was looking for. It's super easy to just change it if I'm taking midday pics.
Thank you!!!
