Its using the SoC hardware decoder then. The 2.2GHz cores are idling. Only the Snapdragon 800 has the Adreno 330 that supports up to 4K (2160p). The other phones on the market now with Adreno 320 supports hardware decode up to 1080p only, and thus with this video, depends on the ARM cores to do software decode.

If you change MX player to SW decode mode, you'll see that playback probably won't be as smooth.
*
That one is confirm, video playback always need GPU hardware acceleration not the CPU itself only. That why I said Adreno 330 is powerful there also not only the S800 itself.

How was ur feedback about Tablet Z?

Was it nice? any complain about it?
*
After owning Z Ultra, I feel Tablet Z not as fast as Z Ultra, it actually not, but for current availability in market, Tablet Z still one of the solid tablet.

The only complain? Still the loud speaker, it is not as good as others.

Your old laptop probably no GPU decoding. Not a very fair comparison...

Yep, its hard baked into the hardware decode engine. Qualcomm is smart in segmenting the chips. Adreno 320 only goes up to 1080p, Adreno 330 goes up to 2160p. I don't think it would have cost much more to include 2160p decoding on the 320...

My year old plus SGS3 can pplay the 1440p via hardware decode, but unfortunately cannot hardware decode 2160p. Which makes it better than my 2 month old HTC One, that only does up to 1080p. And does not hardware playback divx.

Really thinking about getting this XZU now.
*
Ya, my old laptop confirm no GPU decoding for 4k video.

Yup, S600 still using same old Adreno 320 which also in S4 Pro.

Beside this Sony Xperia Z Ultra, got few models also base on S800 coming soon, include LG G2 and Sony Xperia Z1 (Honami).

Then how about your Z Ultra? Sell it? I won't step back Z or ZL or any Sony mobile phone older than Z Ultra now, not only the performance but the screen panel as well. smile.gif

I want a S800 in a 6mm body with a 4" 1080p screen. biggrin.gif

Maybe they is Z1 mini, probably 4.3 to 4.5 inch with S800, but not 6mm body.

6.5mm is way crazy slim already, and need flip case to feel solid in hand. I don't see any point phone slimmer than it.
Currently they do have one phone around 6mm - Vivo X3 is 5.8mm thickness.

Yup, extremely well. I download the Youtube from PC and then transfer to phone. I think the line is not fast enough view stream.

Those 4K Video 1 mins around 100MB !!!

I think for now, only phone running Snapdragon 800 which have Adreno 330 GPU can proper hardware acceleration the 4K Video, which means only Sony Xperia Z Ultra, LG G2, Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A and Sony Xperia Z1 can playback fine.

Actually the A8064 and Snapdragon 600 have any different in performance? I think Snapdragon 600 is just an overclocked A8064

I also feel that, S600 still using same Adreno 320 GPU which inside S4 Pro also, that why just before got user try it on his HTC One and cannot Hardware Accelerate the video.

Does it really make a difference betweek a 1080p or 4K video? Afterall the screen is only 1080p and the 4K gets downsampled anyway.

Down sample or not, does not matter. It is obvious notice that crazy clarity where Blu-ray also not that crazy sharp.

im still waiting for my dock to arrive, dunno whether my melkco jacka type case can be modified to fit the dock anot, chances are slim because the melkco case quite thick.

also this melkco case have another problem, if i want to plug in a 3.5mm aux jack, must take the phone out from the case as the case impedes the jack from being fully plug in.  mad.gif
ts the sp so fragile? spoil so easily? im really afraid already then.

The spoil I mean is dirty it. So cannot use already as full of bubble after stick.
