No 4K option on YouTube App on Xperia Z5 Premium!

[GreyFoxIndy]

Hello everyone, I have got the Sony Xperia Z5 premium and I am trying to watch 4K videos in the YouTube app, I have enabled the filter to find 4K videos, which I know definitely run in 4K on a desktop computer, however I don't have the option to change the resolution to 4K within the YouTube app, it only goes up to 1080p. Is there any solution for this?

Thanks.

Unfortunately it's up to Google/YouTube to set the phone into 4k mode when accessing the app... And then allowing 4k content to stream.
Tbh, YouTube, Netflix and other 4k providers have not done enough to provide support for 4k, you watch how quick they line up when samesung release a 4k panel...

But now, once the app supports 2160p for XZ Premium, why can't the same change be carried over to the younger sister?! It would work fine...

If anyone from Sony is reading this thread, now that youtube app is supporting 4K in the XZ Premium, is good time to try to convince Google to update it's youtube app in the Z5 premium in order to support 4k resolution in it. Remember that Sony Z5 Premium was your first 4K smartphone. It deserves better...
