Can anyone verify they've achieved 2k?
Not work on my Mi MIx with the latest EU Rom.
Isnt 4K a hardware limitation on the mi mix?!
Nope caps at 1080p
well it did work for me but 2k? since its and HD device so, it does look more cooled do just like in the screen shots.
What? I didn't get it.
How do you know you've gotten 2k resolution?
sorry to disappoint you guys but this could be a futuristic feature of the application should Xiaomi release a 2 version !!
looks good do

if you compare the screen shot it does look like the black looks more black which it does. and 2k? right.
My dear if Xiaomi manufactured this device with a 2k screen they would have announced that as a marketing strength. To be sure just open youtube and find a 2k clip and try to switch the 2k option and see what happens and let us know the results.

oh, you still here ROID? can't let the Mix go?
what is interesting is if it changes the rendering resolution, because there's this thing called super sampling. what it does is it creates frames in highers resolution and then outputs them to the screen creating a slightly sharper, higher quality image. For example, even if you have a FHD computer screen, it's better to watch 2k or even 4k videos, for better quality.

I never clicked the 2k option.
The two screen shots are both in native resolution.
I posted two screen shots as a way of showing how to find what I'm talking about.
I'm not sure why the second is darker.
Good question?
Just try a 2k clip and if you can see 2k as an option to play the vedio then it works

EDIT: Is it just me or is this normal for QHD or display of this size to exhibit scrolling blur. Whilst browsing using chrome or XDA app anytime I scroll I find that nothing is crisp it seems to be blurry until the scrolling comes to a stop. With this type of quality display I expected better, or am I just being too picky? Anyone else notice this or have the same issue.
The display is QHD (2k) nor UHD (4k). Also there is no scrolling blur for me when I use chrome or XDA. Did you change anything in the phone?

My bad, lol... I haven't changed a thing. Adaptive brightness set at default ambient display switched on. No other changes, not rooted ATM, just stock??
I just got one with project Fi and coming from an HTC M8 I see the scroll blur. Makes me wonder about OLED TVs.
I've never seen this issue. Are you sure it is a display artifact and not some kind of rendering / performance improvement for scrolling in stock?
I'm using a custom rom.
What you could do is try and record your screen using an app like this...https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mistygames.screenrecord. If the issue doesnt appear on the video but does appear to your eyes, then it is the screen. If it is on the video, it is your software.
Like I said, never seen it myself, though that doesnt mean its not there,

All TV technologies, when new are inferior to previous technologies that they replaced. The previous technology has always had time to develop. For instance, LCD TVs are pretty good now, but my 2006 and also 2009 LCD TV's have terrible motion "jerk". I still use that 2009 TV.
OLED have only been out what? 2 years on TVs? Yeah I wouldn't necessarily buy a 2 year old model.
If this issue is a screen issue, it's worth noting that the screen on the N6 is old OLED technology. It is not up to date, like the Samsung Note 4.
this is very strange, just bought mi mix 256GB version and checked screen resolution on many apps, cpuz, antutu and others, all report same resolution 1080x1920, so how to understand that? it must be higher.
CPU-Z says 1080x2040 for me. Antutu says 1920x1080 during the Garden demo but I suspect that's what it would say for any non-standard (i.e not 16:9) HD display. I'm sure it would report 2560x1440 for the S8/G6, even though they're actually 2880x1440.
Take a screenshot and check the properties of the file. It should say the screen resolution.

Try changing it through resolution apps. For example this one : Screen Shift: Customize your display. More details at http://aravindsagar.github.io/ScreenShift/
Ok maybe a little dramatic but still - a little disappointing.
I have done a few tests. Played the exact same HDR YouTube videos at the exact same time with my Mate 9 and Mate 10 one above the other in landscape mode. The Mate 9 is MUCH brighter than the Mate 10 on maximum brightness. I have factored turning off auto brightness and turned off Smart resolution etc etc. They also have different colour temperatures even if you set them both to warm, default or cold - they still look different.
I have tried HDR videos on both phones and I see absolutely no difference. I studied the colours so hard. I see absolutely no difference between a 1440p video and a 1080p video playing at the same time. In fact, most times the Mate 9 looks sharper and more vibrant. Also shockingly the Mate 9 offered for example 1080p 60fps option on a video whereas the Mate 10 offered maximum 720p 60fps on the same video. 1080p was nowhere in the list. What the hec! Battery at 100% so no resolution switching to save power.
Basically, it is true 1440p is wasted on a phone. There is no difference on a small screen such as a phone. All these people saying "yeah but X phone only has a 1080p screen" don't realise that it doesn't really matter. It all looks the same.
So I hear the Mate 10 is HDR 10 compatible and yet I don't see it with my eyes. If I am doing something wrong and someone wants to correct me, please DO. I want to be wrong.
What are your tests and opinions?
Despite all this, I still love the phone. ?
I take it all back.
I have discovered YouTube does not show HDR10 output even if the video says so.
ONLY the built in video player supports true HDR10 content.
I downloaded these HDR sample videos from an XDA post:
https://mega.nz/#F!jYwlgbBA!piXwD8sYa7zjsRtjStuAyw
Play them in the default video player and they look stunning. I took a screenshot of a paused video and when opened up in gallery, the colours were bland compared to the actual playing footage. Proof enough.
Phew! This phone is amazing!
Do you get higher peak brightness when in vivid mode ?
AFAIK - Currently Netflix is the only third party app supporting HDR 10 for this phone
Youtube coming soon though,
So, you might want to change your thread title, LoL

Of course it's the same because mate 10 comes preset to 1080p lol. And stop listening to tech reviewers the are dumb, only way to see it 1080p and 2k is to use magnifying object like camera or glass etc. I have iPhone 7 plus, LG G6, Moto Z play, Essential phone and the s8 which I sold because of burn in, I don't see the dots pixel on any off them because I don't look for it, they all looks the same some are brighter and vibrant than others. That's it.
Another thing, the max brightness on auto is superior than the manual max brightness. That happen on a bunch of smartphones.
So, it's dumb to compare max brightness with the auto setting turned off.
The best way to compare it, is going outdoor with the auto checked on both and look which one seems brighter.

Hey guys, first time poster here.
Got my P20 pro about 5 days ago and one major thing I'm noticing is I can't look at the phone for too long because it really starts to hurt my eyes
I was wondering it might be tied to the refresh rate. Does anyone know what it is for the phone?
Logging into youtube to watch a video at 1080p does not state '60fps' on this phone, but does on others.
Does this phone have a sub-60hz display?

I get the option on my P20 pro for 1080p 60fps
1080p 60fps
Mine does say 1080p 60fps, the refresh rate on this phone is 60hz, thats weird. did you updated your phone, if not what firmware version you have. i never experienced something similar.

No, i mean your android Firmware, Mine is 8.1.0.131 , Go to Settings>System>About phone > Build number.
Yeah I mentioned above, 130 firmware
It's not the refresh rate of the screen. It's probably because you have such a wallpaper that in the lowest brightness setting emits an uncomfortable blue light radiation. The refresh of the screen is just fine. As for YouTube, it supports 60fps if the source video provides it. I've noticed the same thing in the watercolour theme when the brightness settings where in the lowest point inside a very dark room. Apart from that situation, my screen is super confi in every light situations. (and when i changed me theme for a darker one, even that problem was solved)

Ahh I see. What a weird behaviour.
It's worth noting though that it's uncomfortable to look at on all brightness levels and with the use of eye comfort mode.
I'm starting to think it's just my eyes.
But on my many other devices I don't get the same problem
If your internet is kinda slow, youtube could remove the 60fps option for you.v
For me, I only noticed the irritating wave length emission only at the lowest brightness setting in watercolour wallpaper. It may have something to do with the specific colour and the lowest possible brightness setting. I must note, that it has a very low brightness setting as a phone. That's a good thing at night. My oneplus didn't go as dark as p20.

Ever since I got my phone it was able to playback 60fps YouTube videos. My firmware is currently (.130) Keep in mind it was still able to playback 60fps videos with older firmware.
You can always try going to www.testufo.com and see what refresh rate is this playing in the test.
With my Razer it shows as 120Hz but you should see 60Hz showing up.
With my Asus tablet P01MA it shows up as 30Hz.
Of course it's 60hz

This exact same thing happened to me with my Mate 10 Pro. It really hurts my eyes in such a bad way that I have blurry vision after looking at it, and some weird head aches. There is something wrong with these phones. I just ordered the Mate 20 pro but I think I will send it back. This needs more investigation.
It appears that in the new One UI camera app, 1080 is the highest resolution available for video recording now. Can anyone confirm this?

Yes it's true I can't record in 4K resolution at all.
You have to tap on the video resolution selection in the settings to bring down a dropdown menu that lists the resolutions including 4K.

Can you share screenshots on how and where ??..all i can find was 1440p at 1:1 is highest.
I have the same issue on my Note 9, no UHD/4K option.
It's simple... Go to Rear Video size and tap under resolution.
Screenshot attached.
You are right. I feel stupid. I was clicking the dot in front of the aspect ratio and haven't realized I can tap on the resolution.
Aweful UI!

I was thnking the exact same thing. I design UI's for a living, and I can tell you now, if users aren't using your software the way you expected them to, it's not the users fault, it's the software which isn't clear enough!
