With the release of the Galaxy S24, Samsung also introduced Super HDR. This was Samsung's way of ensuring that certain pictures deliver vivid and variable brightness on flagship displays. While many people thought this would be available on older devices, the South Korean tech giant has now confirmed that it will not be coming to older Samsung devices.
Samsung's magical Super HDR is not going to be available on older devices as only Galaxy S24's chipset is capable of supporting the technology
For those who don't know, Super HDR is based on Google's Ultra HDR feature. The camera on the Galaxy S24 devices takes a Super HDR image, and once the image is taken, the said image will appear on the devices that support it. It might not sound impressive to some people, but in practice, it looks really, really good.
All your pictures with Super HDR will appear a lot better in certain areas. There will be more details in every aspect of the image, and the images will look more vivid overall. This is something that I experienced when I first got the chance to use the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Now, a Samsung moderator has confirmed that the Super HDR is going to remain exclusive to the Galaxy S24 series and will not be available on Galaxy S23 devices. This is what the statement says:
In the case of Super HDR, only the S24 model that can be supported by AP and display is supported.
Sadly, despite having the ability, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 found in the Galaxy S23 series is not a chipset capable of supporting Super HDR. So, we will not get access to this feature if you have been waiting for it. The feature will also not be coming to the Galaxy Tab S9 series, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5 devices, which means that Samsung has just decided to remove one of the best features from all the old devices.
