You might know about the Super HDR feature if you are a Samsung smartphone enthusiast. The Super HDR is an exclusive feature on the Samsung Galaxy S24 device that enables a more beautiful, brighter and more detailed image display. It is developed based on Ultra HDR by Google which is already offered on Pixel devices. The Super HDR support is also supported on Instagram for photos and videos.

In addition, Super HDR support works the same as Ultra HDR. A device screens that support HDR can display it if allowed by the manufacturer. Interestingly, Samsung has recently confirmed that Super HDR will not be supported on other Galaxy devices and is only limited to the Galaxy S24.

If you're wondering what the difference is between regular HDR and Super/Ultra HDR, regular HDR won't brighten the screen any more. Meanwhile, Super/Ultra HDR can brighten part of the screen for more beautiful results. So, that’s a significant difference.

It’s strange why other Galaxy devices are not supported if the reason lies with the chip and screen technology used. That’s because Nothing Phone (2a), a mid-range device with a weaker chip and inferior screen than the Galaxy S24 can support Ultra HDR. We have yet to confirm why this happens, but it will be interesting to hear Samsung’s official answer soon.
