Google Photos will be one of the first apps to take advantage of Android's stunning new HDR photo technology.
... [+]Google has introduced what is likely to be one of the biggest photo quality upgrades yet for Android devices — and it’s coming to other devices too.
Unveiled at this year’s Google I/O developer conference and Dubbed “Ultra HDR”, the upgrade will allow all Android apps on compatible devices to display still images with a much wider range of brightness and color. The effect is similar to the quality boost you can get by switching to a high-end HDR-enabled TV, but for photos. Most Android flagships already have the hardware required to capture and display Ultra HDR images, so the technology will come as a free bonus to many existing users.
The technology will come baked into Android 14 with early support from key apps, the most important of which is Google Photos. It’ll be up to third-party apps and platforms, such as Instagram, to make their own decisions about whether to support the format, but Adobe has made it as easy as possible to support the format, so it’s likely that they will....
This means there’s no need to create separate standard and Ultra HDR versions of your images. Just use the Ultra HDR format and, in theory, all devices will be able to display them in the best available quality.
