I mean honestly the difference between a 1080p video and a 720p (or even a 480p) screen is very hard to notice on a 5 inch screen
That and HD streaming services on mobile devices puts an immense strain on a network designed for SD youtube video, voice, text and light internet browsing.
well I mean, what is the point of a 1080p video when your screen only supports 720p
I'd be pretty pissed if I had a 1440p screen on my phone and I only got 360p content
also they talk of implementing the data saving feature in the future but I'm pretty sure it's already in the Android app

I can tell a huge difference between 480p and higher resolutions.

He's talking about when the video resolution is higher than the phone's. 1080p and 1440p phones aren't as common as 720p and 480p ones.

Not so sure about this, 1080p is pretty common on android phones...

1080p's only just becoming the standard on midrange phones, not everyone has a new phone that's midrange or above.

let alone on their data instead of wifi

I watch Netflix on my phone all the time ...it's nice to just lay in bed with your phone.

Ever heard of this thing called 4G (or LTE to you yanks) that's been around for a few years?
I use my mobile network for my home network and honestly thought this would be a problem when I first started using Netflix, but it honestly streams 1080p 98% of the time on my PC, and as far as I know up to 720p on my phone on the rare occasion I watch something on it.
However, unless you have unlimited data I wouldn't recommend streaming at too high of a quality, I easily rack up at least 100GB of data a month when I use Netflix regularily.

I'll admit I watch tons of shit on my tablet but that shit's like the size of my upper chest, not my hand
The main point here is who the fuck watches netflix on their [I]data[/I].

I do, all the time. I can watch Netflix without taking up any bandwidth from my home connection for other things.

unlimited 4G with no throttling is pretty nice

People who are away from Wi-Fi but want to watch Netflix? I do this literally all the time. Funnily enough on Verizon, but never noticed any significant throttling. And I only have 6 GB so I really don't care beyond the principle. I thought it was a feature. :v:

How can you possibly save data? Lowering the quality isn't going to help. It'll still add up.

Wifi. I like to lay in bed and watch a couple youtube vids/netflix before I fall asleep.

It really will help though.

480×360p = 172'800 pixels
1920x1080p = 2'073'600 pixels
2560x1440p = 3'686'400 pixels
Lowering the quality uses a metric shitload less data

I realize that. But assume you watch 1 hour of 480p. Wouldn't that still be a lot? And most video is set to 30/24 fps. That's still a lot of pixels for 480p

Well yeah.. but it's still a shitload less than 1080p, let alone 1440p isn't it. Hence data [B]saving[/B], not data [B]eliminating[/B].
