So I have an opportunity to buy a tab S2 810 version for 100 bucks. but one thing I did want with an older tablet is the ability to watch Youtube videos at 1440p , at the very least. I heard that Youtube has gotten of that option with the S2. But I am wondering if anyone has gotten a fix for that or maybe doing linageos has allowed us to have 1440p resolution.

Hi all,
Currently I have the Tab Pro 8.4, and have the chance to return it to the shop and buy the Tab S 8.4 for £40 extra.
However, after playing with the Tab S in the shop and reading reviews online, I do have some pros and cons of “upgrading” from the Tab Pro the Tab S I hope forum members can help me with.
The Screen on the Tab S is great for watch YouTube and Netflix which is what I do most of the time on the tablet. However, I also take the tablet on holiday with me to review pictures taken with camera and watch media under direct sun light. The lower brightness of the Tab S and the cartoonish look of the screen makes it not as good as the Tab Pro.
The Snapdragon 800 in the Tab Pro seems to be faster compared to the Samsung SOC in the Tab S according to reviews. The Snapdragon 800 also looks to have a major advantages when comes to graphic performance. This is important to me as I use the tablet to play graphic intensive games such as GTA, N.O.V.A and large RPG games.
The other advantages the Tab S have such as finger scan, smaller, lighter body and 1GB of extra RAM are not a major concern to me.
So, are there any Tab Pro users changed to Tab S and are happy with the screen and graphic provenance?
Many thanks

If you set the Display Mode to Cinema you lose the overblown cartoonish look. Reds become more red and less orange.
Or set it to "Basic" for more natural look.
The screen looks dark and reddish compared with my Note 8.
I love having a choice with "Adaptive Display"
After reading your title I thought you at least needed a video comparison

Had some time to go back to the dealer and spend some time with the Tab Pro 8.4 and after some comparison I feel the Tab S is the better device. There is little doubt that the super amoled on the Tab S is superior, the screen on the Tab Pro seems like just another LCD screen. I thought I could make the pixels out more easily on the Tab Pro, where with the Tab S you cannot see any pixels without a magnifier. My main interest in looking at the Tab Pro is that I thought the lower contrast on the screen might be better for watching video, but after using it for a bit I don't think it's superior at all.
Another issue is the thinner Tab S seems like a much more modern device, even though the difference is less than 1 mm. There is something about that fake leather look on the Tab Pro that makes it look very dated.
Anyways in my case I will be keeping the Tab S.
I only wish that they kept the Snapdragon but I assume when development kicks off we will enjoy possible overclocking of all 8 cores.

Since I use the Samsung book cover on my 10.5 I had almost forgotten how incredibly thin and light this device is naked. Any lighter and it would actually be difficult to maintain a firm grip on it.
P. S. Once it's broken in a bit the cover is much easier to take on an off than the first time.
Hi, I have a note 4 with its Gear VR Developer edition.
I know that considering its shape, when you watch a movie you can get this resolution
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mobile-vr/gear-vr/resolution-gear-vr-illustrated-t3090214
What about the new VR built for Note 8?
Can real 720p be reached for a movie?
(perhaps I'll buy this phone but the "no 4k thing" is stopping me)
Thanks
I own every gear vr Samsung has released and this one with the note 8 is by far the best one yet.
Sure, the screen door effect is still an issue that 4k may or may not address but do you really want to miss out on all the new software development as vr grows and becomes more mainstream? Not me!
I just installed Samsung's PhoneCast vr app and OMG!!! I love being on the cutting edge!
PhoneCast = kodi in vr! Or any phone app for that matter.
I have watched many movies and TV shows with the gear vr and I am enjoying every minute of the experience.
Hi, thanks for answering : )
You know... my Note 4 is still working ok and that 4k missing is making me doubt a little
Perhaps a real 720p might convince me for good
BTW glad to read it's the best one so far:good:
I thought that once you inserted your Gear VR compatible device into the GearVR. It automatically switches the resolution to QuadHD?
it's hard to find comparisons between the LG G8 STABILIZED 4k videos vs Iphone vs S10+ vs Gopro 7 etc. , but what from what I used so far, it essentially almost replaces a gimbal. Especially when this feature works for the ultrawide cam as well.
I'm not sure why LG is so silent on this feature, because it's alot better than G7 and before's steadycam videos.
4k 60fps super steady on my V50. Both lenses.
Here are some examples

I was expecting to have this feature available with today's update on my Sprint LG G8, but no, just security update again. :\
They advertised it on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J9TSq1UDhg
I thought I would create a gaming thread for S21 series and S21 Ultra so we can see what great games we're all playing and what runs good for example.
My device is the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 16gb ram 512gb storage, UK version in Phantom Silver.
Real Racing 3
Runs at maximum settings at 120fps on S21 Ultra with no slowdowns at all, highly recommended! My video is capped at 60fps and 1080p
I recorded this using the built in screen recorder so is capped at 60fps and 1080p on YouTube but it gives you an idea of how well it runs while capturing video.
Skyforce Reloaded
Runs at 120fps on S21 Ultra, its a fantastic game!
Captured at 60fps and 1080p.
Cookies Must Die
Another amazing game which runs fantastic on S21 Ultra, The video is capped at 60fps and 1080p
Asphalt 9
Recently updated so now runs at 60fps on maximum settings on S21 Ultra
Are you using a hardware controller on these games?
If so what kind?
PS4 or PS3 controllers work ok?

I'm just using touch controls on those games but I use my xbox one wireless controller on games too as it works with pretty much all games via Bluetooth and obviously works playing xbox one on your device through xcloud or streaming from your console using the xbox app and xbox game pass which also runs fantastic.
Hope that helps
galaxy s21 ultra exynos 2100 12gb ram runs all games at max settings no problem
Hi everyone. I was away from Mate X2 forum for many months as I sold my first Mate X2 last year.
I was missing it alot and decided to buy another one, this time i went for Collectors Edition one that was announced last December.
It is TET-AN50 model with12GB/512GB.
To my big surprise after phone cloning Amazon Prime Video app from my Mate 40 Pro. It is streaming in HD and 1080HD ?
I though that aps like Prime Video and Netflix are restricted to Standard Definition because of Widevine L3. Did something changed that i don't know about ?
PS, netflix is still only 540p
