In May, Google introduced the new Ultra HDR format by releasing the second beta version of the Android 14 operating system for developers. The new Ultra HDR format adds support for 10-bit HDR images that will be fully compatible with standard JPEG images.
The first app to support the new Google Ultra HDR format will be the popular gallery with the built-in Google Photos photo editor. Found several lines indicating Ultra HDR support in version 6.51.0.5611138754. Other third-party apps can also take advantage of this feature in Android 14.
This function allows you to take full advantage of the modern screen and camera on your smartphone and display photos in excellent quality while preserving JPEG format. You will also be able to send these images via a link in Google Photos and they will open on non-HDR screens, although the quality is of course worse.
Obviously, colors and contrast will be much better when viewed on an HDR supported panel.
