Here in Malaysia, there are only TWO telcos that offer high-speed unlimited data plan for mobile Internet. One of them is a data-only plan that cost about $20. Another one has support for calls with VoLTE and text messages since it was meant to be used on smartphones, but that cost about $40.

I can use the 2160p option on my Redmi Note 8 Pro with very slight lag. Video playback is a little choppy.

i think this will not stay for a long time ... that was just a test by Google ! if so, bandwidth will be limited in many countries !

I have a Galaxy Tab S5e and I could play normally 1440p 60 fps videos, but after the update, only in 1080p. 1440p only 30 fps and sometimes it freezes. I have a 200mbps fiber connection and the video runs pretty smoothly on my S10. Hope some update makes it better...

I noticed in my Samsung m30s and nokia 6.1(2018). The difference isn't so noticeable if the network is good.

I can watch 4K YouTube on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (Global). The video looks crisp on this 6.67 inch display!
