Default Ultra HDR support is coming to flagship phones from this top Android brand
  • Xiaomi is the latest phone maker to support Google’s Ultra HDR image format.
  • The Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Xiaomi 14T Pro, and Xiaomi Mix Flip shoot photos in Ultra HDR.
  • Ultra HDR is an image format that contains both the SDR and HDR versions of an image in the same file.

One of the best features of last year’s Android 14 update is Ultra HDR. Ultra HDR is an image format made by Google that tries to preserve the rich and vibrant colors that modern smartphones are capable of capturing while still accommodating legacy devices that don’t have high-dynamic range (HDR) displays. It’s a great format that lets flagship phones take photos that look great on not only other flagship phones but also all other devices, too. As with any format, though, it’s useless if nobody supports it, which is why Xiaomi embracing Ultra HDR with its latest flagship phones is a big deal.

Xiaomi, which was recently crowned the world’s number two smartphone maker by Counterpoint Research, has shipped a couple of flagship devices this year that support the format. These include phones in the Xiaomi 14 series, the Xiaomi Mix Flip, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4, and phones in the new Xiaomi 14T series that just got announced. We can directly confirm that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, the Xiaomi MiX Flip, and the Xiaomi 14T Pro capture photos in the Ultra HDR format. The Xiaomi 14, oddly, does not support Ultra HDR, and neither does last year’s Xiaomi 13T Pro, for what it’s worth. The Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 presumably supports the format, but we haven’t been able to confirm.
