You can select your favorite terminal from a wide variety of candidates, and you can customize it, which is the charm and strength of Android.However, on the other hand, it is often pointed out that it is difficult to understand.In this corner, I will explain such "I do not know this of Android" in an easy -to -understand manner.This time, I will answer the question, "What does the next Android change" photo "?"
***
The next version of Android OS "Android 9.0" was officially released on August 7.Following a pattern in which the development code name related to sweets is attached in alphabetical order, it is called "Android P (IE)".At present, the terminals that can be updated to Android P are limited to four products: Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, and Pixel 2 XL, but it is certain that it will gradually increase at the end of the year.
One of the new features of Android P is the support of "HEIF".HeIF stands for High Efficience Image Image File Format, and has a file format (container file) that can combine not only photos (still images) but also videos and audio.An international standard that is standardized by Moving Picture Experts Group, and is supported by iOS 11 on the iPhone.
When heIF is supported by Android OS, it saves storage.HEIF uses "HEVC" with a high -compression rate as a codec of still images/video (matching software to reduce the amount of data), so even in exactly the same photo, it is about 50%size compared to the conventional format (JPEG).It can be suppressed.The file size can be reduced to about half without reducing the image quality/pixels, so it is simply a merit.
Exchanging photos with iPhone users is also more efficient.Until now, the Android OS did not support HEIF, so when sending photos (HEIF) taken on the iPhone to Android had to be converted to JPEG, it can be sent from Android P as it is.Half of the file size is half the packet used, which can save time and communication costs for sending photos.Isn't it a new feature that has an impact that can be said to change photos from Android P?
