With Android 14, Google introduced the Ultra HDR feature, which allows users to view HDR photos on their Android devices in HDR format instead of SDR. Several Chinese flagships already have a similar feature, but Samsung didn’t implement it with One UI 6. Next year, Samsung is rumored to implement a feature that is similar to Ultra HDR.
The Galaxy S24 lineup, scheduled to arrive in January 2024, will support HDR picture viewing in photo albums, according to reliable tipster Ice Universe. That would be a nice way to utilize the Galaxy S24 lineup’s 2,500 nits peak brightness.
As a result of the Galaxy S24 lineup’s Ultra HDR-like feature, the photo viewing experience will also be improved since HDR images won’t be mapped to SDR display ranges, ensuring that the brightness, contrast, and color range of the original HDR photo will remain unchanged when viewed.
Enters Mass production:
According to Ice Universe (via Tech_Reve on X), the flagship smartphones have entered mass production, according to various sources. Leaks suggest an early- to mid-January release, with some sources pointing towards an even earlier launch. However, the exact launch date remains unknown.
