Ultra HDR is a cool feature in Android 14 that makes your photos look better. It adds more colors, bright spots, and shadows. Plus, if you see your picture on an HDR screen, it looks even more awesome, with more light and contrast than a regular screen.
If you love taking pictures that show lots of details and feel real, like sunsets, landscapes, or rooms with lights, you’ll like ultra HDR. It makes your photos pop and look natural on your HDR screen.
But sometimes Ultra HDR can make pictures too bright or too colorful. If you share photos with friends who don’t have HDR screens, they might look strange. Ultra HDR also takes up more space on your phone.
How to Turn Ultra HDR On or Off in the Pixel Camera App
To use ultra HDR in the pixel camera app, you need a Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro phone with Android 14 and the latest Google Camera app. Here’s what to do:
- Open the Camera app
- Tap the Settings icon
- Choose “HDR Enhance”
- Pick one:
- “On” means use Ultra HDR for all photos
- “Off” means no Ultra HDR
- “Auto” means the camera decides when to use Ultra HDR
You can change this setting anytime. You can also edit photos later to tweak the HDR look, using apps like Google Photos.
