Both the Android reading apps I regularly use (PocketBook and Moon+ Reader) give one access to the full 8bit color palette by means of either RGB sliders or direct entry of each of the color codes. So both white balance and preferred reading colors for background and text can be entered (8bit gives over 16 million colors, so essentially infinite).
Both of the same reading apps enable one to adjust the brightness from an upper end of very bright down to very dim, so dim it is practically unreadable in a blacked out room (this is both a menu option and a single screen gesture option).
I have measured the color temperature of quite a number of Android phone and tablet screens over the years and have found that the color temperature of any half decent device is correct for correct color, so no casts. Some people prefer a cast, as above the reading apps allow that if wanted. I would assume that Apple displays are correct too for correct colors.
Some of the Developer's Previews of Android 9 included various ways of changing color temperature, including RGB sliders at one point, but it did not make it into the pure Android 9 release, I assume because of lack of need. There are, however, some Android phones around where the manufacturer's include user white balance adjustment by RGB sliders for the display (a few Sony ones are those I am familiar with), but again I suspect the demand and need for it is limited.
Perhaps you could just change to a reading app on your Samsung that allows you to set up your own RGB palette?
