Google tries to take photography into a whole new era with Ultra HDR. Here's everything you need to know about the new image format.

Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro introduce the new Ultra HDR image format, which enhances HDR content for a more natural and lifelike look.
Ultra HDR maintains backward compatibility by using the .jpeg extension, allowing it to be viewed on any device that supports standard JPEGs.
Challenges for Ultra HDR include compatibility with various applications, compression issues that may affect the display of HDR details, and limited availability on only Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro devices.
