Google introduced Ultra HDR as a new photo format during the I/O 2023 event. This format allows photos to be captured in the widely compatible JPEG format while offering a dynamic range beyond the typical 8 bits. By enabling phones to capture photos with more details in shadows and highlights, Ultra HDR enhances the overall image quality.
The format supports various display options, from standard dynamic range (SDR) to high dynamic range (HDR), depending on user preference, display capabilities, and viewing environment. Importantly, Ultra HDR images are backward compatible, meaning they can be viewed as SDR JPEG files on devices that do not support HDR.
This compatibility makes it easy to share Ultra HDR images with others, regardless of their device's capabilities. With the upcoming release of Android 14, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset will be optimized to support Ultra HDR photo capture, ensuring a seamless experience for users.
