Google's video platform, YouTube, is the only service currently available where we can find videos of any subject. For some time now, it has also become an ideal platform to enjoy content in 4k 2k quality in addition to HDR. To enjoy this type of content, it is best to do it through a computer, but we can also do it through a very small number of terminals. According to our terminal, when it comes to enjoying content in HDR, the application will show us the different options available to configure the quality of the video that is displayed, but it seems that the content does not play as it should on all supported terminals.
Many are the users who affirm that when they select the maximum quality of reproduction in YouTube, being their compatible smartphone, the video begins to be reproduced with lags, as if the device was not really powerful enough to display the content, which has forced to withdraw, at least temporarily, the maximum resolution available to play HDR content on compatible terminals. Thus the maximum resolution at which we will be able to enjoy content in HDR quality will be 1080p.
Currently on the market we can count on the fingers of one hand, the terminals that are compatible with this quality of reproduction, where we find the Galaxy S8, S8 +, Note 8, LG V30, Sony Xperia XZ Premium and Google Pixel 2 XL to name the most important. The problem of lags we do not know if it is due to an error with the encoding of this type of videos when playing them on mobile devices or if the problem lies directly in the terminals that offer this possibility based on their processor and memory.
As it's usual, Google has not offered any explanation about the withdrawal of this option, and it is unlikely that it will, so users who enjoyed this type of content all have to do is wait for it to return while enjoying the HDR content currently available on Netflix, as long as they have an account with the world's leading video streaming service.
