    Hi All. I've been searching this for a long time and can't get any real information. I want to shoot HDR 10 bit video.

    I currently have a Samsung s10e. Open Camera runs well on this phone, but HDR isn't available. (Yes, I have enabled camera2api.)The OC docs say that it's probably a problem where Samsung hasn't made the HDR mode available to third party apps. Sad. The Samsung camera app can do it, but then that's not 'third party' is it?

    Getting some info that Android 14 and up will expose the HDR api. OK. Not sure about Samsung phones with Android 14, though-- I would love a confirmation if Samsung s20/21 can do HDR with OC)

    But what about any previous make/model phones? I mean, with other makes/models, what would be the 'oldest' phone I could buy used/recycled that would record HDR 10 bit video? Yup I'm cheap, but really, I want to get several so price is a thing...

    Sorry if this question is confusing. I just want an older phone that can record hdr 10-bit video..

    thx
