I just bought a XZ1 here in Sweden unlocked version!
But i can´t watch 1080p HDR content on YouTube and i have no idea why!
Is anyone else having this issue?
In HDR clips i can only see 1080p 60p resolution without the HDR branding after and no visible change in color and such, i did i comparisson with my old XZ and both videos (played the same) on both devices and they looked the same in terms of color and such even though the XZ1 has a HDR display and the original XZ doesn´t.
To keep in short, the HDR doesn´t work on YouTube for me with my XZ1.
poco support hdr does it mean i can download hdr content and use it and get the reql hdr in my phone i mean will the viewing experience be real hdr
well it can play hdr files fine with the media player but youtube hdr videos are washed out .. you have to understand the screen is only 8bit not 10bit so if the app will not convert colors correctly form 10 bit to 8 bit it will be washed out
Hi, I will copypaste the thread I did post on reddit.
I've just recently got the S9+ Exynos (EU) variant and I wanted to be hyped about HDR media playing. Downloaded some 10bit HDR H265 files and played them through the Samsung Gallery. Cranked High Performance mode to 1440p, +10 brightness and tried between Adaptive/Cinema Mode (this didn't make any difference besides some slight changes in colour and gamma).
Problem is, I see color gradients and a bad greenish tint, lifeless appearance overall. I did try Youtube 4K HDR demos in 1440p as well and, while I can see the extra PQ, color banding is very apparent: background blurred images seem like a weird crushed rainbow :-/
Is this supposed to look like this? I did read about the release (around march) issues people had with black crush and Netflix's HDR, but also read that some update fixed it. It appears that S9+'s AMOLED is 8bit, so is 10bit HDR and Youtube's HDR the culprit? How to play HDR media properly?
PS: Another thing to note is that neither gallery video player nor in youtube player does say HDR in any window or setting while checking file properties. I did read some reports of people seeing HDR stamped at the start of the videos.
Thanks in advance,
Hello everyone.
The HDR mode in Android devices results in picture quality far worse than a regular HD mode. For instance, as you can see from the screenshots, "Our Planet" in HD mode looks way better than in HDR. The colors in HDR are washed, brightness is way down which results in crushed shadow details. I was demonstrating this at the local BestBuy where the staff was dismayed to see the difference. There is something wrong with that HDR algorithm?

Hi,
I have Mi 11x Pro (haydnin) stock firmware 12.0.2-12.5.2.
I am having this really annoying colours issue on HDR videos. All HDR videos have really bad color banding in dark areas and the colours appear grayish. The HDR is activated (as I can't change color filters in toolbox) but the videos don't look anything like they should.
I have played side by side with another HDR capable device Asus zenfone 5z and Poco F3 GT (K4O Pro Game enhanced edition). The difference is quite night and day.
Setting the phone in day mode almost fixes the color banding , but the colors are still dull and grayish and the blacks look like I'm using an LCD mobile!
Here see for yourself. A video speaks more than billion words.
If you have this device.
Please set it to night mode.
Set brightness to full.
Play this video on YouTube from 2:30 onwards. (
)
And let me know if you have the ugly color banding and greyish colours as well.
Confirmed the same issue. Seems that Xiaomi has not handled HDR content well

Yes. Absolutely unacceptable if you advertise this phone as having an award-winning display. Please mention your mobile version and firmware version too.

I'm using K40 Pro + Xiaomi.eu 21.8.11
I'm thinking of the incompatibility between Miui and Youtube app when playing HDR content.

It's not only YouTube. But every platform I tested, it is buggy.
UPDATE:
ADDED A BRIEF VIDEO of the issue as compared a a device without this issue (Poco F3 GT)

I returned the device. But if you can't. I suggest you use SVP video player from playstore. It'll give you right colours.
Clear camera cache and reset the setting in the camera app and set picture quality at highest

I'm not talking about the camera pics/videos.
HDR is terrible in the Mi 11i. It oversharpens and has inconsistent saturation. I'm hoping they'll address that in the MIUI 13 update.
