"Android 14 introduces game-changing upgrades for Google Photos and HDR on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phones"
Android 14 will introduce Ultra HDR, a feature that will allow compatible apps to display photographs with a wider range of colors and brightness. The technology works by adding an extra layer of information called a Gain Map to a standard jpeg image. Ultra HDR images are brighter, more realistic, and colorful. Third-party app developers will have to decide for themselves whether to support the technology, but most big-name apps will probably include Ultra HDR support. The technology is backward compatible, and apps that don't support it will be able to show the image in SDR.
