However the Snapdragon unit’s rendering was evidently not correct and brightness was off. Both units reported as being in HDR and both seemingly were playing the same VP9 stream. The above is a camera shot of both Galaxy S10’s playing back the same YouTube video. YouTube HDR - Top: Exynos (correct render) Bottom: Snapdragon Actually, there’s issues even viewing the YouTube videos on the S10 itself. On the device itself, the video looks flawless, but viewing it anywhere else will result in issues. We’ve uploaded the videos directly to YouTube, however it becomes evident that YouTube has trouble in terms of correctly recognising the format and correctly re-encoding it for the platform – both for HDR playback as well as converting it to SDR video. On the Exynos variant, this does shows up in the Gallery settings, and the converting functionality is only available from the video preview screen's share function within the Gallery app, and specifically only this one share function as sharing through the thumbnail view or the actual video play does not trigger the conversion. I’ve seen quite a few publications struggle to find this setting, and the reality of the situation is that it’s currently simply not available on the Snapdragon version of the phone. There's one feature that Samsung advertises in the Camera app in the HDR10+ setting, namely saying that one can use the Gallery app to convert HDR10+ videos into standard dynamic range videos for sharing on sites that don’t support HDR. Gallery app settings Snapdragon vs Exynos Zooming in while recording in the mode merely results in a digital zoom on the main camera.Īnother limited mode is the 60fps recording: Here you do not have access to EIS nor to any of the additional camera sensors besides the main unit. HDR10+ is only possible in 30fps recording modes, and also only possible on the main and wide-angle modules. To sum up the different video recording modes: Galaxy S10 Camera Modes & Features One big aspect of recording in HDR10+ is that there’s some inherent limitations that come into play such as not having access to the telephoto module. The audio encoding is stereo 256kbps AAC LC at 48KHz. Encoding of the video is fixed to HEVC with 10bit encoding and a L5.1 Main profile. Instead, HDR10+ is mastered for Display P3 as the wide-gamut recording format of the Galaxy S10. Although the format dictates BT.2020, the phone doesn’t master in this gamut as the display isn’t calibrated for it. One other important aspect of the ability to record in HDR isn’t just the increased luminance range of your video, but also the fact that the phone is recording in a wide gamut format. On the Galaxy S10+, when in HDR10+ mode video recording, the phone masters the display luminance from 0.005cd/m² to 1000cd/m² - but again this is just what the metadata first shows as this range will vary throughout the video.

HDR10 non plus only supports static metadata, meaning the brightness boundaries in the video encoding mastering remains static. The key differentiating feature for both standards is the inclusion of dynamic metadata into the video stream.

HDR10+ is a Samsung creation first introduced in their TV line-up, and is meant to compete with the Dolby Vision HDR standard. On the HDR10+ side of things, this should not only be the first smartphone to be able to record in the new format, but if I’m not mistaken the S10 should also be the first easily obtainable consumer electronics equipment supporting the technology. Recording on the new wide-angle lens should also be a new experience for Samsung users. Samsung promises significant video recording improvements for the Galaxy S10+ with help of the newly introduced HDR10+ mode as well as a new new significantly enhanced electronic image stabilisation.
