Boohoo YouTube bandwidth, for the uploader mostly!
YouTube uses a much more compressed version to download.

    Does anyone know how to cap videos to 720/480p in Youtube settings. HD is expensive for Africa.

              Sony Fanboy Bitches, 05 Nov 2017Neither do we 2K screens. Why do we have them, too? Ah bec... morePeople used to say 4GB was not necessary too and more ram was actually pointless and there i was struggling not to use over 3gb of ram I could never understand why people say that.

                  GSMarena clearly doesn't know how software development works ... Identifying and fixing the issue is not always easy and quick. This was a simple "hotfix" to prevent bad user experience while they try to find a real fix.


                  And "lol" to the guy being happy with upscaling.

                          The policies in Google is changing. It used to be a no compromise principle from Google, now it seems that all they do is compromise.

                          I blame Sundar Pichai.

                              Anonymous, 05 Nov 2017Haha goodbye Sony 4k mobile and good riddance, now the rest... moreNeither do we 2K screens. Why do we have them, too?
                              Ah because 2K is needed but not 4K.
                              People's logic nowadays.

                              We don't need 8GB RAM as they point out, but complains when it's just 4GB.
                              Sorry dude, technology is moving forward. We aren't going to stay with 1080p forever.

                                HDR is amazing, what YouTube is doing not

                                  Anonymous, 05 Nov 20171080p is perfectly fine on mobile. We don't need 4k gimmick... moreWhat? We don't need 4K?
                                  1080p is enough?
                                  I thought you just criticized Sony in the past for using 1080p on their Xperia XZ and XZ1?

                                    People be b*tch*n' that we don't need 4K on mobile smartphones, as if we needed 2K in the first place.
                                    Those who don't need 4K can just sit around the corner with their 2K Diamond PenTile screens while let us enjoy the glory of the future.
                                    Try 4K HDR for once and one will never look at a screen the same way ever.

                                    This bullsh*t is the same argument 5 years ago about 1080p screens being irrelevant. Now we look at it being a norm.
