Enhanced HDR Screenshots Provide Greater Vividness in One UI 8 Testing Phase
Samsung's new toy in the town is One UI 8, featuring the long-awaited HDR screenshot support. Get ready to witness a dazzling upgrade for your snapshot game!
With Android 16 joining the party, it's HDR screenshots, finally! Say goodbye to flat, muted images. Now, when you screenshot HDR content, it holds onto all that vivid detail and rich contrast. No more disappointment when your screenshot looks pale in comparison to the original image or video.
Samsung's latest ZYF7 beta test reveals the brilliant news. Instead of flattening an image, it's saved as a PNG packed with gain maps, preserving the HDR magic for HDR-ready displays. No more washed-out versions being your only option.
In the past, SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) ruled the roost. It's great for basic content, but HDR's rich colors and contrast are a whole other ball game. You've certainly battled boring screenshots of brilliant photos that looked dull and lifeless after saving. That's because standard screenshots default to SDR, a format that can't keep up with HDR's color and brightness.
Time to amp up the screenshots!
According to leakster Ice Universe and SamMobile, the HDR screenshot support in One UI 8's ZYF7 beta is a game-changer.
Ice Universe even put it to the test on a Galaxy S25 Ultra, snapping an HDR photo from social media, andvoila! The full HDR effect remained intact.
Since it's already in action in the ZYF7 closed beta, plenty of reasons expect the upcoming One UI 8 public beta to bring HDR screenshots to the masses. If all goes according to plan, One UI 8's final release will bless screenshots with enchanting colors and deep contrast, making HDR content pop like never before.
