YouTube app owned by Google has released an update that brings 4K HDR playback support on Android devices. However, 4K support had already existed in the Android app only if the video is uploaded in the ultra-high-definition resolution.
Up until now, The maximum resolution Android users could watch videos on was a maximum of 1440p resolution. Unfortunately, This happened even if the video was uploaded in 4k resolution and the user’s display supported a higher resolution on their respective smartphones.
With this latest update, Android users will now be able to see an additional option along with other lower-resolution options in the video quality settings – 2160p (4K) HDR.
The update was reported with YouTube’s Android version 16.06.34 that was rolled out on February 18 on several devices. For those who haven’t yet received the update, visit the google play store and check your pending updates.
