This improvement aimed to reduce the size and amount of space taken up by its original image format, the standard JPG format. This improved image format is excellent in several ways.

Part 1: Does Samsung use HEIC? Why?

It won't be amiss to know that the Samsung Galaxy S10 trio was created to support High-Efficiency Image Format (HEIF), the mother ship of HEIC format found in iOS 11 and macOS.

You see, if the HEIC/HEIF is activated in your Samsung devices, studies have shown that you will find a difference of about 1-2 MB in size compared to the JPG. With its High-Efficiency videos, the space savings become even more extensive, especially if you tend to shoot long videos. There are also find free plugins for Windows that enable system-wide support for HEIF images and video.

The Samsung galaxy trio, the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+ all use the HEIC image format, which is a variant of the HEIF. Samsung first introduced High-Efficiency video () with the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, and HEIF/HEIC is the image equivalent. There are two important features that this improved format brings to Samsung images.

1. A significantly improved image quality. This feature brings a newer, more refined image appearance to an already beautiful image quality captured by Samsung devices.
2. A much reduced/compressed image size. In comparison, the HEIC takes up just half the space the JPG format would usually use in storage. This particular quality is what the Samsung makers are keen about. The idea of images that take up relatively smaller spaces when compared to their counterparts, without compromising on excellent quality output.
