Hi, can anyone share their experiences using XZP watching Netflix? Especially the HDR and the 4K.
I'm on edge whether buying XZP or LG V30.
I will be using the phone mainly for watching, reading, and using moonlight.
Lg V30 has oled dolby vision and bigger screen.
Quality is great especially on downloaded contents but beware, only HDR is supported by the Netflix app, 4k resolution is not available even though the display is 4k, not even 1080p, the max resolution we can have is 720p, this applies to every device as far as i know
Thanks for the feedback. I followed up on this and found that there is a modded netflix app on XDA that allows up to 4K. Gonna try that.
I am just curious 720p HDR vs 1080p and even 4k, which do you think worth more?

Actually I'm not really sure if I can see any difference when HDR is used but probably I've never seen any side to side comparison, probably I would prefer 4k over HDR just because I think the difference between 720 and 4k is incredible.
P.s can you please pm me the thread to the modded APK? Thanks
Yup sent.

what are you expecting to be "shared"?
no zoom on the camera app is the deal breaker?
are you trolling?

Yes, as noted in the stickied FAQ, there is no digital zoom in the camera app like on other Android devices. As far as I know, and I'm sure someone will be quick to correct me, there hasn't been a real zoom on any phone.
Personally, this didn't bother me because the digital zoom always looked like crap lol.

You should explain to her the difference between a mobile phone and a digital camera. And if she thinks that she can get the best of both (all) worlds in a single device, perhaps you should tell her about this thing called ... money?

Nearly all cell phone cameras lack "zoom".
What you see in cameras labeled "zoom" is actually cropping, so you end up with a lower quality crop.
Explain that and she'll be okay.
Please stop the arguing in this thread, or it will be closed and infractions/warning PMs will be sent. Thank you.
Edit: Thread cleaned from all the nonsense. Please, keep this on track.
Explain that all she's ever had on any phone is digital zoom which is not supported in the stock Android camera app. There are alternative camera apps in the Market if it's really important to her.

Nobody asked for your opinion, "go bith and moan" on another thread if you think it's all ok.
Like I've already explained: "maybe it's not so useful for pictures (because it's a digital zoom) but it could be useful for videos in order to move attention on a detail".
Lack of 720p is another issue, however, 720p recording (just like digital zooming) is usually interpolated on smartphones, so it's not a big one. Moreover, you know it doesn't record at 720p from specs.

They down sample. There is no issue with downsampling. Upsampling (digital zoom) degrates the image.

Upsample. Usually on smartphones the sensor is not 720p capable but it has a lower resolution, so you get 720p recording by upsampling frames. However this is off-topic
its called crop it..done looks waaaaay better
I'm liking the responses

werd theres not really a big use for zooming in anyway just take a pic and pinch to zoom it looks fine tbh. Not a good reason to return a good phone lmfao tell her to send it back get a free phone to make fone calls and text and buy a digital camera so she can take some ugly facebook pics

Nope, video is downsampled from the sensor resolution.
720p frames = 1280×720
5MP sensor size = 2560×2048
The image captured by the sensor is downsized to the 720p size.
The reason cellphones aren't capable of 720p is because the hardware can't keep up with downsizing each frame that the camera is capturing.
Digital zoom in video means downsizing from the sensor resolution to the video resolution. Then upsampling the image information again to make it fit to the recording resolution. You're not gaining anything from digital other than introducing alot of noise.
Tell your girl to get an iphone.

Oops, I typed that out wrong. It can't keep up with processing the captured frames after downsizing.

Nope. There isn't any "downsizing", they are captured at lower resolution than the max resolution available (because of the bus width), usually the resolution is lower than 720p, then they are processed and upscaled to 720p.
...Xoom?
Is 720p (high profile) issues just on Xoom or is it really limitation of Tegra 2.
Can someone make a proper and thorough test?
Is playback from NAS and DLNA supported?
Thanks for intterest and help!
Tegra 2 = Tegra 2
You get the idea.

Thanks for clearing that out for me. 720x246 resolution would totally suck.
ok....
h.264 - great!
720p - great!
but what profile??? 99% of videos in the net (and the ones I have ripped myself from my discs) are high profile
If high profile is not supported - not great :-(
So... question to u:

High profile isn't playing well on Tegra 2, YET. I'm sure it will. Until then, re-encode your movies.

I'm at work without the ASUS, but can I get someone to try something please?
A guy at work tried a few clips from here using the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The first fantastic four and serenity clips played fine (both high profile supposedly) The 1080p Simpsons clip played, but with no sound.
Can some nice person try these?
Thanks!

Funnily enough I tried a couple of these on my Transformer and Galaxy Tab yesterday.
The Bourne Ultimatum (baseline profile) played fine on both, but only the GT would play the Silver Surfer (high profile) acceptably.

Unfortunately no, it's up to the processor
Unfortunately, there is no 4K video recording on the device. The max resolution for the Honor 8 is 1080P/60p. (NS)
i'm looking into this phone. would like to have 4k in my future phone. don't have a 4k capable monitor/tv and probably never will. even if this phone had 4k, or those that do have it like galaxy s8 and other expensive flagships, is it me or is 4k in phones overrated? i looked at s8 video and it doesn't seem like gopro or a dedicated compact cam quality. I don't know if it's me or phones have lower bitrate, worse or no stabilization or inferior something else. I don't even have 1080/60 in my phones. It would be cool to have 2k/60 but i dream. Trying to decide if i should keep using my new cheap but fast phone and get a premium 4k action cam or invest in a 4k phone.

with out the SOC support how can we record ?
It is impossibe to make honor 8 shoot 4K, basically because the chipset (kirin 950) can't record video in that resolution
It's not possible to shoot 4k but if you can convert the video to 4k using 3rd party video editor in Honor 8.
The chip probably capable of doing so but somehow restricted for business reasons like how the 'flagship' p9 couldn't do the same but other android phones with less capable soc (sd625) could.

Ho then there is a way or us we have to find
It is simply impossible, because kirin 950 isn't snapdragon 625, basically the kirin 950 doesn't support 4K video. Simple as that
But this is flag ship of honor 8 is last year flagship , if there is recording capable ,devs will updates us

The ISP in the Honor 8 can't record 4K video, simple as that. It's not an update thing, it's a hardware limitation.

Could you guys test this.
Download Open Camera, go to Settings and scroll all way down then enable camera2 api. Then open the video settings and check the video resolution options. On my phone there will be 2 additional resolutions higher than 1080p but only the top one managed to record video successfully. It's not 4k but higher than full HD though I'm not sure if it's actually recording in that resolution or simply a mistake in the camera app.

Can you try recording in these resolutions?! Tell us if it works or not
Tried it. The resolution of the file is 4k alright but the quality is either worse or on par with the stock app on 1080p/60
And without stabilization on open camera it starts lagging after a few secs.
All on auto settings and stock rom.
Though the stock file was 4 times bigger than the opencamera one so tweaking the settings might help.
Then again afaik stock has the best quality anyway so no clue what 4k would add to that. Not quality though for sure

The A50 has just recieved a 120fps camera mod.
There are numerous sources that confirm that the S9 is capable of this.
[Unfortunately as i am a lurker and do not have an account i cannot post links yet so you will have to search yourselves but the sources are numerous]
It is quite obvious that Samsung limited this feature, perhaps in order to segment their branding or because they felt that it was too unstable.
Does anyone know if there is an existing mod for this?
I have a 144hz monitor and would love to start capturing footage I can watch at a higher framerate.

Oh i thought you were a developer. The S9 can record at 240fps but the actual video is only exported in 60fps and plays at 60fps. I can tell by comparing actual 120fps video with slow mo video i recorded myself without exporting it.
