You'll want to know how to enable 10-bit color on Android if you're someone who takes their phone photography and videography seriously — and given the camera performance of today's best camera phones like the Google Pixel 7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, that's an ever-increasing group of people.
Most smartphones (and even many cameras) only have the ability to take photos and record video in 8-bit color. That means for each primary color channel (red, green, blue) the camera can capture and use 256 shades. That gives 8-bit color a maximum tonal range of 16.7 million shades of color (256 red x 256 green x 256 blue).
