Back in May, we let you know that Google had declared Ultra HDR which would permit viable applications on gadgets running Android 14 could show photographs with a more extensive scope of varieties and tones. As per Forbes, in light of stowed away code strings found in the Google Photographs application (rendition 51.0.561138754), it appears to be that Ultra HDR similarity is going to come to the Google Photographs application.
Google Photos’ brand-new code strings include phrases like:
Ultra HDR crippled.
UltraHdrPreviewFragment.
EDITOR_ULTRA_HDR_PREVIEW.
photos_mediadetails_details_ultra_hdr.
Now, it goes without saying (but we will anyway) that an upcoming update to Google’s camera app will need to enable Android phones to shoot in Ultra HDR if Google Photos is going to add support for Ultra HDR. Maybe the Pixel 8 series will have the primary cameras ready to shoot in Super High Powerful Reach.
As we made sense of back in May, Ultra HDR adds an additional layer of data called a “gain map” to a standard JPEG picture. The improvement in the nature of a photograph in Ultra HD is supposed to be equivalent to staring at the TV in standard SDR and further developing it to Ultra HD. Users won’t have to worry about whether other people will be able to see their Ultra HD photos because existing apps will be able to process and display them just like regular JPEGs.
Ultra HDR is in reverse viable which implies photographs shot utilizing this component can in any case show up on applications that don’t uphold the most recent norm. However, these apps will only display the images in SDR. Additionally, the difference in image quality can be seen in the embedded image above.
While the code strings show up in the previously mentioned variant of the Google Photographs application, Google will in any case need to enact the update to make the Google Photographs application support Ultra HDR. We’d anticipate that that update should discreetly occur somewhat before Google is supposed to deliver the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Ace which is apparently going to happen on October eleventh.
