I've been pondering if I should get a Note 3 or Note 4. Playing with the Note 3 at the store I realized the youtube app doesn't support 1080p and I´m assuming Note 4 is the same and no way in heck for 4K(downscaled to QHD) for the Note 4, is that about correct? Is it the same if I go to youtube in the anrdoid browser and not in the youtube app? If so there is pretty much much no easy way to watch full quality new trailers without some hacked youtube apps, correct?
LG G3 seems to be the only one where youtube supports beyond 720
The YouTube app does support 1080p and above regardless of what phone you are using. You just need to select a video that is uploaded in the resolution you want

You won't be getting a lot of 4k streaming content anytime soon. Plus, the amount of space it would take up on your phone would be crazy. You will get the clarity when using apps, some games, etc.

If I´m just streaming it and not storing it, it shouldn't take a lot of space should it. YouTube has quite a few 4K vidoes. But it's more not even being able to see any 1080p videos and trailers that I find absurd.

You can select res in YouTube.
BTW, watching HD1080P stuff on the Note 4 still looks sharp, just watched a bunch of vids I took with my S3 and S4.
Checked a bunch of videos on the note 3 on the YouTube app, none go above 720. Checked them on my laptop and had options of 1080p.
The old YouTube app supported 1080 and 1440(I'm using it just now) however it appears to have been removed in the newer versions of the app. You can uninstall the Youtube updates in the applications page and then install the old app version which supports 1440 (it's on the XDA forums somewhere,I think on the G3 forum). I'm sure Google will sort it out soon as they have the QHD Nexus 6 coming out.
I'm using the latest version am I have 1080p option on both my note 4 and note pro12.2.

1080p is available in the latest version of YouTube on GS4.
Very odd. Note 3 exynos international is the version.
Can someone maybe please post a link to a YouTube video that you can get in 1080p and I will can see what the phone does?

Some of the latest versions have a lot of the resolutions (including all above 720p) disabled for some strange reason!
You can uninstall and reinstall an old version of the apk if you want to get them back.

nope its also not working. MX Player Pro is hands down the best player for android. its running the videos but with stutter. im sure this Exynos ****SET is the culprit here.
thats the reason why i and millions of other people like Snapdragon chipsets. they at least work great with great battery life and everything optimized. not like samsung. i might sell this crap soon getting only 3 hours of screen on time. and its just box opened brand new tablet.

We only have 2K screen... 2560x1600... if you download your videos in 2560x1440 they work flawless... 4K video will give you stutter no matter which player you use on this device... I've tried a bunch of them.

I tried playing a few 4k videos on my SM-T800 galaxy tab s 10.5 (exynos) and for every file it stutters.
I've tried MX player - but it defaults to S/W decoding since H/W decoding isn't supported. Even though the format is H/W supported (H264), it just doesn't allow H/W decoding at these resolutions.
BS Player defaults to S/W too, as it shows 'S/W' when it displays the player properties.
Is there no current solution? Do we just sit and wait for H/W support to be enabled in the near future - or is it just too hardware intensive on the Exynos that no one will bother.
Can somebody explain why you are playing 4k video`s on a 2k+ tablet, is it just to see if they play correctly, are they just clips, a full 4k movie must be a big file.
I use the free handbrake software on my notebook, to convert and movies or series mostly animi to nHD which is 640x360 if i am going to keep them on my tablet, the higher the video resolution the more power the tablet needs to use to display them, so not only are 4k video are huge, they use a lot of battery life to play.
John.
It's just to see if the device can actually play 4k, and to see if hardware encoding even makes a difference.
Given that 4k will be more prevalent in the future, it's just testing to see if it will be able to handle the larger bitrates/files.
Most of my 4k clips are only about 2-4 minutes in length.
I wish my 10.5" could play in hardware the new h.265 format, as the video files can be up to half the size of the current h.264 version for the same quality, but it cannot, so it will have to be played back in software mode, oh well you cannot have everything, maybe it will take a while for H.265 to catch on.
John.
Yes. Freezing temporarily. I can not believe that no solution. Note 3 has same cpu, I look its forum but nothing found.

hmm, maybe "sub-pixels" is a poor choice of word... it's more like the spacing between the pixels i'm seeing. and i loaded up a 4k video and it looked odd. i'll need to try it again using the 'void theater' rather than the other ones since it's the "largest" screen.

2D movies don't need to be larger than 720p as that is the highest resolution you can see on the screen in the Oculus cinema. Everything higher just burns unnecessary battery life.
360 videos can be higher res tho.
So I've watched a few 4K videos, and I've watched a few 4K 60 frames per second videos, and both of those seem to work pretty well on this unlocked Note 8. However when I actually try to watch the HDR videos I get some pretty significant lag and choppiness, even when watching 1080p HDR. Does anybody else see this happening on their device?

I too am having an issue in YouTube on the Note 8 wherre anything played back above 720p60 HDR becomes super slow and unwatchable in terms of something thats supposed to be 60fps. If you stick to 720p60 HDR for now you won't have that problem. Hopefully Google pushes out an update for YouTube asap

No lag on this video but i dont see it being indicated as HDR just 1440P, I think we might need to add more details when testing. I suggest everyone who claims smooth/stuttery enable stats for nerds on youtube and make sure to report if the video format shows 2560x1440 ( as sometimes youtube will still display 1080p even if you have 1440p selected ) and then mention if its 1440p, 1440p HDR or 1440p60 HDR.
A good example is to try this video and make sure video format shows 2560x1440

There is a very minor stuttering especially if you are sensitive to it, I asked someone do a blind test on me on a random scene on the clip and 10/10 I was able to tell it correctly. The stuttering is not buffering related. But Im glad that you are not sensitive to the stuttering. I was able to also test this 4 snapdragon variants and 2 on exynos all of which had same results. I think this is a bug on the player as it only stutters when playing in full screen.
Exynos India version and yes, even i observed this stuttering last night. Its quite annoying though. Let me know if you guys find any solution.

It has to say 1080 HDR or 1440 HDR for the stutter if it does not say HDR then you are not watching at the same quality as us with the issue.
Watched it after I turned on nerd stats , 1440p60hdr setting, and sorry to report, it was quite smooth. The colors were vibrant and scenes with the sunlight were quite realistic.

I'm glad i'm not alone. Youtube crashed and restarted my phone too. Have had the phone for 1 month and happened twice. I think it's an app problem at this point
Edit: I also tried several HDR 1440p 60fps (Peru 8k HDR 60fps FUHD) video and it lags. Have the Exynos version of the Note 8
I don't see 4k as an option in my Netflix app and the HDR videos, the blacks aren't black. It's like grey. I'm confused. I have data usage to Max, I've reinstalled the app, I have 110 mbps down with Comcast.
Is this all by design?
I think it is region and content dependant, I dont see it in my samsung tv either,
Pardon me for asking but what's the point of 4K content when you dont have a 4K display?
I didn't think Netflix content would show available as 4K unless the app detects a 4K screen which the Note doesn't have .Same as their television apps.

To be honest, watching 4K downscaled instead of 1080p upscaled on a 3K display kinda makes sense, at least. But the HDR is a top argument, enough said.
I'm not even that mad at the resolution. It might actually be showing in 3k but just not labeled as so. I'm more made I'm getting a washed out black level when watching HDR. That's the opposite of HDR. Complete opposite. If you watch your nav bar right as it switches to HDR Netflix you can see it turn from black to grey almost. Why Netflix, why.

Or showing it wrong. It's labeled HDR and does look very bright and colorful. The blacks are wrong and sometimes the highlights are a tad off. Like on skin. Can anybody test and confirm this grey black effect?
Dud you try to switch Screen Mode to AMOLED Cinema to see if it makes any difference?
No difference. Still makes the blacks turn grey.
In Brazil too don't work HDR in Galaxy Note 8 and my speed internet is 100mb I try contact support Netflix but they don't know way don't work.
I was messing around in the Netflix app and came across the Test Patterns Videos. After much frustration I couldn't get Netflix to play back any of the test patterns in 1080p and the highest it will play back is 1280x720. The crazy thing is my Note 4 will play back the test patterns in 1080p without any problems on the same internet connection.
Can someone play a test patterns from Netflix and report back the resolution displayed in the upper right corner ( you have to pinch in the video to see it).

Yes it is but the details aren't nearly as sharp compared to 1080p.
Beside the Note 8 is certified for HDR playback on Netflix and you can't have HDR without 1080p or higher video resolution.

I don't believe this is a bandwidth issue.
It seems to be a server side issue. For some reason Netflix is not letting Note 8 playback 1080p even though it's one of the few devices listed on their site that supports HDR playback.
I appreciate everyone's help. Now I know I'm not going crazy.
