Performance class 15 is opt-in, though, and only some new, high-end devices will declare that they meet it.

One of the best features introduced in last year's Android 14 update is Ultra HDR. It's an image format made by Google that's built on top of the nearly ubiquitous JPEG format. An Ultra HDR image is essentially just a JPEG file with some HDR metadata embedded in it so devices with HDR displays can see the HDR version of the picture while devices without HDR displays will only see the SDR version. The format solves the conundrum of displaying high-quality images on both modern and legacy devices, but the problem is that only a handful of the best Android phones capture photos in Ultra HDR. That could change soon, though.
