Wide Color Photos Are Coming to Android

My P30 Pro is listed as being wide color gamut capable : https://consumer.huawei.com/latin-en/phones/p30-pro/specs/

Yet I cannot get the android logo to display on Chrome or when the picture is downloaded and viewed on the default photo viewer.

Oh well maybe a future update will solve this issue. :p

Okay I just set the color mode from "vivid" to "normal" and now I can see the logo. Cool!

Fyi, never, ever use a monitor/TV in "vivid" setting. It sets the brightness, contrast and backlight settings to absurd values and clips a whole bunch of colors on the low and high luminance ranges resulting in a severely restricted dynamic range. A byproduct of this is that regular images appear super saturated and "vivid". Also, if you have an OLED or Plasma, vivid mode will almost certainly accelerate screen burn-in (I've even seen this happen on LCD TVs).

Thanks for the tip friend!

Actually I'm a hobby photographer, and I generally favor accurate color representation over any other special color modes. I do remember playing around with the settings when I got my phone and I think I just forgot to switch the color mode back to normal from vivid.

On my Mi 8 it works fine in Firefox, the default gallery app doesn't show it at all, and Google Photos shows it in the gallery view but not full screen. Oops...
