Screen resolution curiosity - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,i hope my question is posted in the correct place. Something i am rather curious about and constantly wonder about is my device's screen resolution. Now i know that the Z5 Premium came with a 4k display,what im not sure of is why my device (Z5 E6653) has the "ability" to record 4k video clips,if it doesnt have a 4k capable display?
Am i wrong in my understanding that shooting in 4k is useless because my device is not capable of showing 4k resolution anyway? Or is my device 4k capable and if so,why cant one then manipulate the display to use a 4k resolution setting permanently? Please could someone enlighten me.

You capture a 4K video and watch this video on your phone? Actually 5.5 inches display is useless for 4K.. Watch on TV or a projector..

You should watch the 4K video (which you recorded with your phone) on a 4K capable display, like a 4K TV. When you play that on your phone,it'll be downscaled to 1080p. So if you don't have a 4K display, it would be useless to record 4K videos. Except if you want your videos to have the best quality for future use.

Choppy video?

I was curious if anyone else is having chopping video performance on a 1080p video? I have 720p videos play fine but 1080p video's stutter every few seconds. Any ideas? Its hard to show off the screen when video playback is poor.
There is no difference between a 720p video and a 1080p video on this phone. The screens not big enough to make a difference. Convert your video to 720p or lower if u want to play it on your phone.

He is correct. Make sure you convert the video to the proper resolution and format for best performance. No need to make the phone work harder to decode video from a format you will not gain from.
Storing 1080p video would only seem to benefit if you intend to use an external display. Are you using an external adapter(usb to hdmi or analog) for playback?
Thanks for the replies. I knew that this was the case. When testing the video capabilities, I downloaded a bunch of random HD video samples. Some 720p some 1080p. The 1080p seems to work flawlessly if I taskill everything but I shouldn't have to do that. I guess I'll just stick to 720p unless I'm hooking up to a TV.

Does video streamed via MHL depend on resolution of android phone?

I want to know if video streamed through MHL depends on the resolution of the screen of the android phone. For example if I stream a 4K video to a 4K tv on a Note 3 or a MHL 3.0 capable device, will the video only be played at 1080p because of the screen resolution of the note or will it be streamed in full glory like in DLNA??
I also want to know if this is the case with the Z1 compact and the SGS3 which have 720p screens. Will 1080p video be streamed at 720p??
I understand that in the case of screen mirroring for games and such this is the case as obviously you are only streaming what is on the screen.
But MHL plays only the video and does not display the controls and such many times which is why I ask.
If you do not know, please do not make guesses.
Thank you.

4k video and slomo

Is it possible to capture 4k and slomo (or even raw dng) video with this phone via a mod or a 3rd party app? I'm thinking of getting this phone if it thus
You can do slow motion with SloPro but the playback won't be smooth with the stock 30fps video recording. Anyone knows a way hack the fps limit?? Please tell meeee..........
Our device do not support 4k videos may be 2k can be possible with mod
whether it was possible to record in resolutions higher than 1080p?

Video recording 'issue'

Hi All!
I have a strange issue when i recording a video with my OP6. The file size is very big in 720P, 1080P and 1080P 60fps.
I attached 5 screenshot from 5 different recording mode.
720P, 1080P, 1080P 60fps, 4K and 4K 60fps.
I have stock OOS 9.0.5 on rooted phone.
Its that a bug or something else?
I have the solution.
I installed an module for Magisk, that is the reason of the higher bitrate of the 720P, 1080P and 1080P 60fps videos.
Please delete this thread!

Question 4K videos don't play when playing from browser

i just tested this on chrome and samsung internet, and both get an error when i try to watch porn on 4K. Go to spankbang and see if it works for you. My display resolution is set to 1440p. Can someone try and confirm maybe it's not our phones but the video processing that spankbang uses?
I don't know where to begin..

On the real though you probably can't watch 4k smutting because your display isn't 4k. That's the reason non smut video services like Netflix and Prime video only play in 1080p. YouTube bypasses this by upscaling and downscaling videos.
This is peak XDA.

Well what i'm saying is, on my S10 5G, even if i set my resolution to 1080p as my phone display, i was able to choose the 4K streaming setting from the website on the browser. On this phone I can't do that, it shows an X and says it cannot be played.
I think people are overlooking the fact that its an adult site, but overall, I find this quite strange because it is the first time I've seen that it doesn't allow the actual stream setting to not play whether or not the phone display is set to 4K itself.
