hi i know that this phone support hdr but can it play 10 bit 4k hdr movie ?
has anyone tried it ? i am looking to buy this phone for 4k remux

It works, even the high action scenes where the bitrate jumps up to 50mbps, no stuttering.

Not much to show from a screenshot since neither MX Player nor VLC show real-time stats like the PC version of those apps. I just went to jell.yfish.us and grabbed one of their test bitrate files. I haven't monitored the CPU temps though, not sure how long it'll stay within spec.
Any suggestions on an Android player app that displays all that in real-time?

If you don't mind oversharpening on media content then get this phone.
btw. Does anybody know a fix for that?

[Q] How do you export the slow motion video?

I've captured some slow motion video on the G3, but when I try to export it anywhere, or play it in another player it just speeds up to normal speed.
Surely this can't be right. It should save the video to be played exactly how you see it in the native player on any other device.
Does anybody know how to get it to stay as slow motion even after you've exported it, or save it as seen in slow motion?
To let you know I have done a search for this issue within xda, and it doesn't show any related threads. Has nobody experienced this issue?

Hi,
Your Video is fine. Just use a Player like VLC and reduce the playback speed.
Thats how slomo works!

Thanks, I thought it would be better if it actually slowed the footage down as a saved file (like on the Xperia Z2), then at least you could post it to a shared website and show off your creation. Is there no way to do that?

Check the PlayStore - there must be an app for that Good Luck! If you find something, share it!
The HTC One (M8), Sony Z2 and iPhones have a video editor that can slow down parts of a slow motion video, while keeping the rest of it at normal speed.
Has anybody found a similar app on the Play Store?
Or even, has anybody managed to make the Sony or HTC app work on other devices like the G3?
EDIT: The Sony Z2 app is called "Timeshift Video".
Im looking for this too.
Its crazy - shows slowmo video in gallery app - but with normal speed in Photos app
What are you guys taking slow motion video of anyway bouncy boobs lol
It doesn't matter what you take a slomo video of, the point is that the phone doesn't let you save the movie in a way that can be played in other devices. Surely it should do that.
I've seen a few slomo videos on YouTube made on the LG G3, how have they done that, if you can't actually save the video as the slowmotion version?
Surely, you'd want to show off various or interesting slomo videos to friends and family, so there must be a way to do it. I've looked for an app, but surely it should be native on the phone?
e.g. on my old HTC EVO 3D, the 3d videos were stored as 3D to see on a 3D TV for example if saved on a USB. Surely if you save the SloMo video to a USB you should be able to see the video in its slow version on a TV. Is this something that LG overlooked, or is there something that we're all missing on the phone?
The recorded video file is ~120 fps:
Frame rate mode : Variable
Frame rate : 119.659 fps
Minimum frame rate : 116.732 fps
Maximum frame rate : 122.783 fps
To see it in slow motion you would have to set it as 30 fps on a computer and save it again. No need to recompress it or anything (so no quality drop at all) but you need this extra step to play it back on a device where you cannot manually slow it down.

Thanks for that info, I wish thought that the phone natively did that, so there was no need for that extra step, I think LG are missing a trick there.

The most simple way I know is to use mkvtoolnix (free, open source and works on windows/linux/mac)
Open the GUI, drag or add the file you want to work on, select the video track, go to format specific options and select your desired fps. Then press "start muxing".
Screenshot - sorry, can't post direct links yet so please remove the spaces:

Thanks; upgraded from 6.2 to 7.1 and mixed away. Video worked well but audio didn't seem to work out well
When I shot something in slomo on my Galaxy S4 the resulting video was slomo in all viewing apps or when uploade to facebook or youtube. only being able to view it in slomo in the LG gallery app is dumb. As much as they advertise the G3 as a great photo device the camera app actually sucks balls. Samsungs camera app is light years better and IOSs blows them both out. It still baffles me that android has no tap exposure and lock capability....
Is there an app that will save the lg g3 recorded slow mo videos and directly share them so everyone can see the videos in slow mo?
When uploading videos in youtube you get an option to increase or decrease default video playback speed.

The video has to be uploaded to a higher quality, most videos on YouTube are not higher than 1080p.
I have no issue seeing the 2K resolution when on a video that was uploaded in 2K. See attached photo.

Have you updated your YouTube app?
If so, then the blame falls on Google. I know they have some lists for specific devices and being able to do such capabilities like VP9 playback.
If you are rooted, check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-patched-youtube-vp9-60fps-playback-t3418216
It's the one I am using, I had no idea it had an effect on 2K resolution too.
I am not rooted stock and waiting for nougar update....okay i will try contacting google fkr a possible sollution
Solveddddd.......i just uninstalled the installed updates to the youtube app
In other words uninstalling youtube from playstore and then trying playing a 2k video give me 2k resolution.. Updated to latest version again....and working

Is X265 10bit 1080p mkv supported?

Is honor 8 pro capable of playing X265 10bit 1080p hevc video?
I've tried samples from jelly fish with stock player, mx player n vlc. None works. Tested the same on friend's op3t phone n it played smoothly with stock player. Even X265 10bit 120mbps 4k video was played without lag on op3t. But this honor 8 pro cant even play 5mbps X265 10bit video?
So is this hardware issue on honor 8 pro?
Any suggestions??

Thanks for your help!! Will update once i get oreo update..
So my phone has been updated to emui 8.0 and phone has been factory reset post update but this issue of non playing X265 10bit videos is still there.
Any advise?
1080p hevc mkv videos cannot be played with inbuilt player (due to colour distortion, though videos are played). With MX player, HW decoder is not supported; video automatically starts playing with SW decoder. With VLC full Hardware decoding is supported without color distortion (but still playback is not that smooth, sometimes even videos got stuck).
Overall video playback on honor 8 pro is poor. So don't expect much.

The chipset is surely capable but I don't know why this happens.
Vlc does play the video but if the video is skipped, it gets stuck on that frame.
Maybe because the kirin chipset isn't widely used and thus, there are optimisation issues with many apps. I get dropped frame rates almost in all games and this baffles me because the chipset is fairly powerful.
I am not buying device with kirin chipset again. Lots of optimization issues with 3rd party apps.

it would be really sad. u've contributed a lot to this community. to say this means we won't see you in the honor/ huawei section that often since they usually stick to their own processor.
but yes, it does seem sad that there's really not much optimisation... though for the GPU, it is still MALI, which is also on Exynos.
i can only hope things will be better and Huawei/ honor can really work with more developers.

I can't really say if that first line was sarcasm or not.
This device can't play any game without skipping frame rates. It lags pathetically on playing temple run 2.
There are clearly optimisation issues for 3rd party apps because they have optimised it exceptionally well for their own apps and the whole software. This ruins the overall experience because as the OP stated that a device with SD821 plays 1080p 10 bit x265 videos smoothly while this doesn't.
Exynos devices may not be relying from this same problem because Samsung sells those devices in a lot more number than Kirin devices.

why do you think it's sarcasm??
as for Exynos devices... they also use MALI GPU, though it's a diff variant of the chip. still, if they can get it optimised... i guess we can hope it's the same for Huawei/ honor. after all, Huawei/ honor is also one of the top manufacturers in the world right now.

I felt it was sarcasm because I don't think I have done anything major for the community here. I am not a dev [emoji12]
I haven't used an Exynos device. So, I am just guessing. Yup, I know they both use the same GPU but with lesser number of cores though. Maybe that's the root cause of this or it's just pure optimisation problems, don't know because reviews didn't show any such issues with this device. I am really confused.

Yes even i am also confused as reviews shows no such issues but it can be possible that not many ppl really tested these specific vidoes on this device. Hence I posted screen recordings of my phone. Need some more testers to see if I m the unlucky one.
Stock player plays video smoothly but with lot of color distortion. VLC just hangs after 1sec and MX player plays through SW decoder with lot of stuttering. XPlayer from Google play plays video much better but still stutter a lot. Overall you can't play x265 10bit HEVC videos with higher bitrate n framerate and of higher file size on our H8Pro. What a disappointment. I tested the Jellyfish sample video which was around ~33mb and main10
Not only in hevc, x264 video playback also have a bug. The 'blacks' are not shown properly in HW decoding of MX player or inbuilt player or VLCs full Hardware decoding or any app using internal codecs including video playback in YouTube app. There is a permanent 'tint' over video (only video screen) when played in these ways. The tint is absent in SW decoding mode of MX player which means the fault is in internal decoding.
To check this pause a black scene of widescreen video (so that there are top and bottom black bars). The black bars are distinctly visible in inbuilt player (and other playbacks that use internal decoding); But screen is full black (black of screen becomes same as that of bars and so can not be distinguished) when SW decoding of MX player or VLC (No harware acceleration) is used.
Not only blacks become greenish black but all colors become slightly dull compared to actual.
This most probably wasn't before oreo update.
Also there is one more magic to it. I tried to attach screenshot, but the screenshots are clear (tint is absent), even when screen recording is on tint dissapears and reappears as soon as screen recording is turned off.
I had to take shot from another phones camera. Pics in attachment is of same black scene (video paused). Screenshot is completely black while photograph shows how it actually appears (distinct top and bottom stripes).
Eye comfort or display color settings has nothing to do with it.
I already reported this issue to honor customer care but I don't think it would do anything.
Anyways, there is NO way to fully enjoy videos in our honor 8 pro. We have to just accept this. To avoid frustrations: stop downloading x265 video, stop comparing with other phones and simply accept what we have.

YouTube Vanced 2160p60HDR playback is very stuttery with too many frame drops

https://drive.google.com/file/d/10lGieXYspI_xzBzyoDSYgJh0yomdLpVU/view?usp=drivesdk
Check the stats for nerds near the end of the screen recording for details. 1440p60HDR and below resolutions work perfectly fine both in stretched out and normal modes but as soon as 2160p60HDR is turned on, video frames start to drop and the playback becomes very laggy/stuttery. I'm using the default codec in 'codec override'. I've tried pixel and samsung codecs but the res. is limited to 1080p max. Is there any workaround for 4k60 or do I have to live with 1440p?
Vanced version: Official 14.21.54 Black

I have a 1050Ti too and my ****ty A10 7890k has literally zero problems running 8k60 (yes you heard it correctly - "8k60") without any O.C. It's not that my n8pro can't play 4k60 at all, there is definitely a bug or something which is keeping it from delivering adequate frames at appropriate frame times. So as per my analysis, the first few frames (~150-250 frames) are rendered at buttery smooth 60fps (which is only like 2-4 secs) but the rest 500-800 frames are very stuttery. I wanna know why this happens.

Question Is the display broken? Colors?

I noticed a problem when watching Youtube videos. For example this video
I can watch that video just fine on a Poco x3 pro (also SD 860 and 120hz), but on the Pad 5 there is a problem. I don't see anything until 10 nits in the video. I also cranked up the brightness to the max. On my mobile I can see something much earlier - with normal brightness.
Does anybody have an idea what the problem could be?
Mine starts from 1 nit onwards, if I enable screen balance app 0.5 nit. Tbh I hate the screen. This device is called 'media consumption'. I can't enjoy a movie when blacks are absent
I am regretting my decision tbh. Should have bought a basic oled device.
I just realized that when I use Newpipe instead I can see the colored boxes from 0.2 nits onwards. So it is not necessarily a screen issue?
I am wondering what could be the difference between Newpipe and Youtube?
Could also be youtubes own codec for videos. However, the ips panel used on mi pad 5 lacks any depth or contrast. checked couple of reviews. One says contrast is 1300:1 the other says 550:1 . What I can tell is, I am not gonna watch a movie on this tablet.
I was reading someone today saying that YouTube only displays HDR with the AV1 codec.
No idea if true or not
With max brightness after 2 nit , in normal brightness after 3 nits
Thanks for your answers and testing!
I guess, there is indeed something broken in the Xiaomi Pad 5. I noticed that the display problem only happens when you play HDR movies. The Netflix movie quality is good in my case. but only because my plan does not include HDR apparently. HDR movies look ok with Newpipe, because Newpipe does not support HDR ...
HDR is basically broken on all Pad 5 tablets. Wow!

My pleasure,
This is an app called smart tube next. Just Google it. Devs name is yuliskov. It has a github page.
Even though I have youtube premium, I use his YouTube app on my firetv.
Ah yes, i hear it is a superb application.
I too pay for Youtube Premium, but will load it up on my Shield TV as Shield users mention how good it is, all the time.
Thank you! @parser
