How to make sure that i am watching hdr on Netflix app ?
Thanks
The Netflix app currently only supports:
LG V30
Razer Phone
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3
Samsung Galaxy Note 8
Sony Xperia XZ Premium
Sony Xperia XZ1

S9+ supports it. You will see the hdr logo on the show screen if your device is capable of playing it.
If the colors are dull and dark, then you are watching in HDR. At least that's what I found after watching HDR movies and TV shows in the Netflix app side by side on my Galaxy S8 (does not support HDR) and S9 (supports HDR). HDR was the main reason to upgrade, but now I'm thinking of selling the S9 and keeping the S8.
Both phones look amazing when playing HDR videos in the Youtube app or MX Player.

Does anyone know if it's possible to rent HD movies on the Galaxy S2 and then output them in HD quality via the MHL cable via HDMI?
Google Video Rentals have just come to the UK and I'm keen to get an MHL cable if this can be done!
Thanks!

It seems to be specifically for the Motorola Xoom, but I would guess the same applies for the SGS II.
No mention of quality/resolution of the movies though.
The only place I could see resolution mentioned was on Android Market › Help articles › Movies › Watching Movies › Watching on your computer
Change resolution
Adjust the video quality from 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, and up by clicking on the button located on the toward the right side of the control bar.
Thank you!
Sadly, I don't see the option of HD purchases on the Galaxy S2, which is a shame.
I wonder if anyone in the UK with a Motorola Xoom can tell me if they see the HD option available...
Yay, I now see the HD option on the Android Market
Well, now the option has disappeared for all but a very few movies. Very annoying given that I've just paid out for the MHL cable. What's the point in out putting highdef, if Google's own apps don't support it?
Today I tried to convert a 4K movie with HDR to watch it on my Mate 10 Pro.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to recognize HDR
The sample video Huawei provides looks amazing.
But how will I be able to enjoy any other HDR video?
Btw, Youtube HDR videos work.

I just moved to my device some 4k files with hdr downloaded from the net like LG and Samsung ads and all work great with HDR in the main video app.
How does YouTube videos work while YouTube does not yet support Huawei HDR as they did with Samsung?

Just look for iYTBP for HDR support here on XDA
BTW, I found the problem with the video files.
After re-encoding the HDR metadata was gone.
So there wasn't anything for my Mate to recognize
I have just recently migrated from iOS (iPhone 11 Pro) to Android 10 (Sony Xperia 5 II). I think Android is a much better choice for me as I feel I have more control.
Despite this I am having a minor issue which I need help with. On my iPhone 11 Pro, I was able to watch 4K videos, even with HDR turned on through the Youtube app. The resolution of the iPhone 11 Pro is closer to 1080p than anything else so I understand 4K is downscaled to the resolution of the phone. The problem I have is that with my new Sony Xperia 5 II I cannot seem to be able to enable 3840x2160/4K on any video on Youtube. I have tried watching a 4K video with HDR and without HDR but still suffer the same problem. I am new to android so I don't really know if this is common or its just my phone. The resolution of the Sony phone is also 1080p but I find it quite surprising it won't let me watch videos at 4K considering the iPhone 11 could.
I have tried updating the Youtube app and the firmware of the phone but nothing seems to change. I cannot uninstall Youtube from the phone either.
Is there any way this can be fixed?
The 4K video playback on YouTube is supported on those Android devices only that have a 4K display screen. Your Sony Xperia 5 II doesn't have such one.
But there is a simple workaround you can use to enable 4K video quality option on YouTube , if your phone's Android is rooted: change the resolution of the display to enable 4K video support - you do this by modifying the build.prop[/] file in the /system root directory.
It's a bit weird that the Xperia 1 III supports 4k 120fps through Cinema Pro but only 4k 24fps in the camera app.
Sometimes, I don't have the time to setup Cinema Pro and just want to quickly record something, is there a way to enable 4k 60fps in the main app? I have a rooted device if one solution requires it.
I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy Note 9, and there was an app called Camera Mod that allowed to tweak some settings of the stock camera app. Can something similar be developed for the Xperia 1 III?
Also, and that's a lot less important, it possible to record native 120fps files (either 4k or 1080p). By that I mean a video file with a frame rate of 120fps (not slowed down to 60 or 30fps). This phone have a 120Hz display so I would like to record and playback at that refresh rate if possible, without any slowmo, just 120fps recording and play back.
Thank you very much.
I'm wondering if it's only me or if I'm doing something wrong, but a tv show that shows in 4K HDR in my TV is not showing more than HD 1080p in my Tab S7 Plus. So, no HDR.
I'm sure Wifi Quality is more than enough (tested 400 Mbps) so I'm not sure what I'm missing here
