open build prop editor,
Add below line in it,
sys.display-size=3840x2160
Save it,
it should start working right away, if not then reboot after saving the build prop editor line.

Refer screenshots for your reference.

But would it make any difference in terms of definition and colors as out beloved device's display is limited to 1080p i.e. Full HD?

Yes, you will notice the difference in terms of sharpness, more vivid colours.
Cast your videos onto TV, you'll be surprised.
Try it out.

Yes indeed i felt the sharpness, No need to cast on tv on device only it gave the comparative difference

People will think how can it give more resolution than the screen's highest resolution, but guys it's not just about resolution, it's about sharpness and colors which you want find in the full hd alone(no doubt it's best) if you compare them both you'll find the difference

Which app did you use to do this i can't do it?

So does it only supersample the video from 4k to 1080p, or everything is in 4k now?
What happen if we screenshot the phone after changing that? Is the screenshot still 1080p pr it's 4k?

Try MKBHDs videos, which are encoded in 4K format.
If it doesn't work for you, then it must be kernel specific problem, it works perfectly fine on AEX ROMs(both nougat and oreo)

Do you experience lag with higher playback speed? Whenever I w watch a video on vp9 codec in 1080p at 2x speed, I always get frame drop
Wonders if it would be worse in higher resolution

[Q] Bad quality 4K recording.

I bought myself a Note 3(N9005, 32GB version) few days ago, but since the beginning I have had a problem with recording 4K videos. To be exact, it doesn't record at the promised 45-50 mbps bitrate, instead it records at 10 mbps or even lesser bitrate. So my question would be, how can I fix that?
All the other featured modes are working flawlessly. Would really appreciate some help. The phone is not rooted or customized in any way.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, under the video resolution section I chose 3840x2160. Is there supposed to be some more options to improve the quality?

Do you have a 4k TV if not you won't see any difference between 4k then 1080p

Downscaled 4K looks much better though, so there is a huge benefit in making 4K videos. Anyway it seems like those crappy units of Note 3-s made their way only to Estonia, since me and shizny are both from Estonia and there is no more information about that problem on the internet, atleast I couldn't find absolutely nothing on such weirdness.
Actually jaythenut is correct. Though the Note 3 is capable of recording video for playback on a 4K TV your device having only a 1080p display is not going to appear different at all.
The Note 3 plays back recorded 4K Video in 1080p on both the phone and any other playable media device as it can't process anything higher than that.
Your better off recording videos in 1080p at the now 60f/s.

no one is right.
quality of recorded videos playback is not the same as seen on youtube, by other peeps recordings.
check the quality, bitrate of 4K recorded video on my device is 6000kbps, 1080p is 15000kbps.
If you think a little logically then how come 4K recorded video is worse than 1080p? Even the playback quality is worse, not only on the device itself, but also on monitor.
Have you ever watched 1080p video on 720 display? Any difference? Video is crispy and detailed, Now how about 520p video on 1080p screen?
Now this is the same as my 4K recording on 1080p screen.
Either the device is faulty and cannot record/play 4K videos or sample videos made on youtube are actually 1080p.
This is really strange. I'm from Estonia as well and I'm facing the exact same problems. All my 4K videos look like 240p ones or even worse.
(Can't post the full YT links because of my postcount, but here's the v-codes)
watch?v=4iEt7lGGPqk- 4K sample
watch?v=4fryaJ6cfw4 - 1080p sample for comparison
I can't find anything on the internet regarding this subject, does anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? I sent an email to Samsung support about this as well.
the same problem here (lithuania), firmware N9005XXUBMJ1
Wait for while there will b some patches to fix it.all devices havr same problem
Same here. 4K recording quality (and, of course, bitrate) is awful. Videos looks like 240p.
Lithuania, baseband N9005XXUBMJ1.
EDIT: Ok, it seems that this is common issue with particular batch of this model (maybe it only affects the Baltic countries), and service centers are aware of this problem.
Left my phone for warranty repairs...

Has anyone been able to watch YouTube videos in higher res than 1080p on the Essential Phone? I can't seem to. There is no option to select resolutions higher than 1080.

That's ironic lol, it's 2560 x 1312 officially.... So it's just under 1440p. I would think it could do a slightly cropped 1440p but I'm betting youtube just doesn't support it.

Get the rootless YouTube mod, iytbp (on xda search) install the Laura almeida version. You can force 1080 with it, and have background playback.

Recording 1080p video with 60fps?

Dear community,
our HTC U Ultra cannot record 1080p with 60fps by default. However, the snapdragon 821 is capable of recording fullhd with this framerate as other phones with this cpu proof.
Is there there any way or app to enable fullhd with 60fps?
I have tried several apps like Filmic Pro, Open Camera and cinema fv-5 already and none of these apps allow to enable 60 fps.
Is there another way?
Thank you.

The google camera ports support it!
Keep in mind that you need more light. So don't expect good results in low light situations.

Thx. Have you got Oreo? Was wondering if it was anything new for the cam app.
Thank you very much madphone for pointing me in the right direction The Google Camera App with HDR+ works perfect for my needs and produces beautiful 1080p60 videos!
For videos the viewfinder works also very smooth. For pictures the viewfinder is laggy, as mentioned in the linked thread.
Video files are always safed to the internal storage but as the ulra has at least 64gb of internal storage the videos can be manually copied to the sdcard from time to time.
btw: I am aslo still on android 7.0 at the moment with a european device.

did u put it on your computer to check if the phone is taking 60 fps video or not ? because when i try to use the google camera app and chose 60 fps option when i put the video on my computer it tells me this is 30 fps footage even when i upload it to you tube its just 1080p 30 i tried 720p @ 60 but still same issue so pease check for ur self and tell me what did youl find
I'm only getting 30fps 1080p, I tried the google app.

well this sucks cuz this phones hardware is totally capable of 1080p 60 fps but for some ****ing reason HTC doesnt allow us !:crying:
alright so i have tried the google camera app and yes it record 1080p 30 fps even when i choose 60 fps but i did notice something really weird. when choose 60 fps the video size is always and i mean always way bigger than when i choose 30 fps i dont really know why this is the case and am really confused because i come out with 2 identical videos with the same frame rate at the same resolution and when is about more than 60% larger than the other! so i dont know howto explain that
one more thing is that it might actually be a hardware problem maybe the sensor isnt capable of 1080p 60 am just assuming as i dont really know any way if any of you guys found any thing that could help us out with this problem please let us know
and have a nice day
Maybe the metadata is just wrong. I will try later.

Yes. Try Snap Camera for example.

Video quality

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

With the xiaomi camera app you can only record 1080p with 30fps but you can make slowmotion videos with 240fps. I just downloaded open camera and set the fps to 60fps but it still recorded with 30fps. I saw a video from a guy who recorded with 60fps but I can't find it on youtube anymore... he was walking through a shopping mall or something. If you find it just tell me and I can check the app/settings he used.
Edit: Found it. But he was talking about 4k... However, I was not able to get 4k with 60fps with open camera app too

Maybe now add YT correctly?
Yes, learned how to deal with tags
Having a pixel 2 xl as well, I think that videos from mi mix 2s are horrible, especially in 4k. 60 fps is missing and stabilization is horrible, videos are shaking as taken with parkinson
Pros:
- 1080p Videos have incredible stabilization (30fps or 120fps)
- Slow Motion is buttery smooth
Cons:
- 4k is shaky as hell and no 60fps
- No Manual Options for Videos
- Audio Quality is horrendous
- Third party support is bad (Filmic Pro and Open Camera only run at 30fps, no other modes)
- No variable FPS, 1080p is only available at 30fps or 120fps (slow mo)
I love the design of the 2s, MIUI and the quality of the final video output but as a videography nerd it's just not enough for me.
Yeah, stability in 1080p is fantastic, but low light quality is pretty bad. Audio was actually ok imo, normally bass in a club makes it a complete mess, and this video was me stood right next to a speaker.
https://www.facebook.com/kr00t0n/videos/10160713885135195/
ok, there is a lot of things which can be discussed about picture quality, but one thing is alarming... audio bitrate of videos... it is so low, that it sounds like songs from first mp3 era... my guess is audio bitrate is below 128kbps, sounds like 96kbps to me and this is unacceptable for any recording device... the low bitrate would be ok if .ogg or .aac used, but not mp3 as it lacks sound quality at this bitrate so much

Netflix in 1080p
