I am certain not mentioning Sony in this banner, with its three devices there also....was just a mistyping. Yes?

      [deleted post]The Note 9 is the best phone ever made. Even the Note 8 is better than Sony XZ2 Premium. Sony is outdated.

          I don't get what's so hard to understand.. with people in this comments section... the list is of phones that support VP9 codec.. which allows better play back.. and allows 2k and 4k playback.. this codec is what they use on pc's as well. Also you need a phone with snapdragon 835 or above as that's when snapdragon implemented it which is why the first Google pixel isn't included.. Samsung exynos 9 gen chips is when they started vp9 support.. to out it bluntly apple never use to support vp8 due to Google wanted royalitys though vp9 is royalty free.. so I don't understand why apple haven't implemented..

            A test site that only reviews Samsung and Apple screens.

                    Displaymate is worse than DxO. " Best screen" is not 10 bit, has only 103% sRGB and DCI-P3.

                      Its only youtube guys, just 1 app. Don't be salty with apple.
                      Its just unfortunate that apple phones for its price, did not meet the required hardware/software by youtube in order to get best watching experience.
                      Also, IMO, I think this is some kind of anti apple or discrimination campaign against apple by google.

                                  What is this bull? What's the point of this? To urge people to spend $700-$1000 to watch another shitty $10 dollar shit vs $10,000 shit video? My mom's Redmi 5A does YouTube videos just fine. Why all the fuss? To get money from companies to get their names on the list? Or just make it a thing so when Samsung advertises that their phone is a YouTube Signature Device, YouTube gets advertised indirectly? Both?

                                    It's not in the list Bcuz of the Google codec but for whom it may concern, iphones run youtube just fine. And depending on handsets, full HD works just fine. So iphone users are happy youtube users :)
