Hi
Please somebody confirm is Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 capable of playing 1080p 10 bit (mostly anime) videos?
(please also include info what player you have used, mode of playback, hardware, sowftware, version of a tablet etc)
I am really interested in buying this tablet and the screen is just gorgeous but I am also an anime fan and would like to watch my anime in the highest possible quality on it.
Thanks

Bump!
I'm considering getting one of the Tabs to avoid carrying my -huge- laptop to watch stuff in other rooms. Also, maybe there's a difference between exynos vs snapdragon regarding video playback capability. Any input appreciated!
And just to confirm... from what I've been reading, T700=Exynos and T705=Snapdragon? there's no T705-Exynos based?

I have yet to see the first Snapdragon for the Tab S series, all of them have been Exynos, i believe that they might use Snapdragon in the NA models to come around november to Verizon and T-Mobile but right now, the LTE and WiFi versions T700-705-800 and 805 are using Exynos.
Video playback has been smooth on my T705 (lossless 1080 flac).

So T700 is Exynos-wifi, and T705 Exynos-LTE.... if they finally roll out Snapdragon based TABs, there should be a new model number, right?
I tried a Hi10P video on a Snapdragon600 based S4 mobile and playback was very choppy -using BSPlayer-, do you know if there's 10bit HW decoding support on the Exynos running the new TABs?

What player were you using? SW or HW decoding? Prolly in SW decoding mode any of these won't be able to produce smooth playback and from what a quick reading on the specs and a couple of sites, the Mali GPU on the Exynos SoC would not support 10bit video decoding... so if I'm not wrong, there goes my hope...

There's no GPU, PC or mobile, that supports hi10p decoding. That said, I have a hard time believing that the Tab S wouldn't be able to play 1080p hi10p videos smoothly as my old Nexus 10 with a far slower CPU almost pulls that off and my Z1c with a Snapdragon 800 plays them smoothly (granted, it's a much lower resolution screen but still) with MX Player.
I've put a test video in the link below that people can try to see if it plays smoothly. MX Player is recommended.

Lol full metal alchemist... love the anime... it play fine on my tab s 8.4 with bsplayer and its extra 7arm codec.
Mxplayer was ok last time but now since they lose some codec due to licensing issue some of the high quality video just play choppy since its use sw mode only.
Btw the tab s also lacking some codec. Dont know why samsung left out some of the codec although the device are capable.

HW wasnt supported. so it was SW.
It's working just fine on my tab 10.5 exynos processor. However i had to turn off all the codec codes and run on pure hardware acceleration for it to work. Goes to show the exynos processor can play videos just fine without any hardware codec or software aid.

I wouldn't know about the Mali GPU capabilities, but I also thought a Snapdragon800 should be able to playback Hi10p, hence I was interested on getting the 'supposed' Snapdragon version of the Tab S 8.4.
The new Mali -T764- though, seems to support 10bit decoding and H265/HEVC, so I was kinda hoping the T628 Mali would do also 10bit decoding...

I hadn't read you... so you got that Hi10p sample that CazeW posted playing back smoothly? which player did you use?
That clip played fine on my 10.5 thru BS Player but SW mode only. All my 1080p rips play in HW mode so not sure... This is still a great device for multimedia.
I use a media player that is banned by ios and android called xbmc or soon to be renamed to kodi. The best media player ever!
It runs great on either software or hardware accelerometer alone.

Where do you guys get these 10bit Anime series from. I normally stream them from Anime.fullfights so quality is never really HD (it says 720p but most likely a bit compressed)

General torrent sites or dedicated anime trackers.
BTW i just bought a Tab s8.4 today, and tried the sample straight away using vlc, smooth playback, will try with the video I could not play with an galaxy s4, which is higher bitrate, if it plays back I would be officially in love with the thing.
No luck, tried a high bitrate video (with embedded subtitles), the same I used on the Galaxy S4, and it plays better but is still unwatchable Both with VLC and KmPlayer. I will install xbmc and BSPlayer tonight but I fear the results will be the same :/

Hi eousphoros, last night I tried with MX Player, HW+ mode did not work, but software&multi core mode seemed to play it back about fine, not absolutely perfect, but watchable, as soon as I flash a custom kernel a play with settings a bit I'm sure it will improve the missing -tiny- bit. Thanks for the tip. Will try also BS-Player&XBMC.
Hi all,
I've recently created a 360 degree video and have received a couple of comments from Exynos users that the video is not running very smooth. I only have a Snapdragon Note 4 and am wondering if some of you with an Exynos Note 4 could help me out and test the video to confirm whether it works on your phones? Also, what should I tell my customers in regards to OS and firmware updates etc.? You can find a demo of the video when you follow the link to my website and go to 360° Video.
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

It plays absolutely fine with 0 problems. Running UHD Lite, didn't notice a problem with it since day one.
Since it's just a video it should be quite future-proof regarding future versions of anything.
PS: Nice video
Thanks Domen, you're feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,
All of us know that Xiaomi Mi5 came with powerful Snapdragon 820 chipset. Also Mi5 equipped with 16mp camera with Sony IMX 298 sensor. But its a great matter of sorrow that Mi5 can't shoot 240fps slow motion video in 720p even [email protected] though it has one of the most powerful hardware combination in the market!
Snapdragon 820 does support [email protected] slow-mo shooting but Mi5 doesn't. Mi5 can only record upto 120fps in 720p resolution. On the other hand 'ZTE Axon 7' also came with Snapdragon 820 and ZTE took full advantage of it. Axon 7 can record "[email protected]","[email protected]/60fps",[email protected] even "[email protected]". But poor Mi5 can record "[email protected]", "[email protected]" & "[email protected]".
Isn't it Xiaomi's poor software optimization? They are giving 2/3 years old video shooting mode on a top notch device which has a great hardware of 2017. Even nowadays a phone with poor chipset can record 1080p videos @30fps. Isn't it a great shame for Xiaomi & all Mi5 users comparing other Snapdragon 820 phones from OnePlus, Samsung, Google Pixel, ZTE etc? Sadly me also in the list.
SO I AM REQUESTING A 240FPS VIDEO SHOOTING CAMERA FOR MI5 LIKE 'CAMERA X' OF NEXUS 5X.
Is it possible to port/modify ZTE Axon 7's camera/kernel for Mi5? Or Google Pixel's camera/kernel? Or building a new one according to them for Mi5?
Remember that Snapdragon 820 does support those shooting modes by default. Just need a modified/ported camera app or kernel for Xiaomi Mi5.

Think it's a lot more complicated than that. The new Sony Xpera XZs can record up to 720p @ 960fps with a SD820 as it has a large cache size on the camera sensor itself.
I think it has to do around having a proper camera HAL capable of such recordings combined with a proper camera framework that is fast enough to store and process the captured frames.
Without proper source code it would be impossible. We barely just got working video mode in AOSP ROMs for instance. If the feature is added upstream in some other Xiaomi device (say, the Mi Mix 2) it would be easy to backport it to the Mi5.
Hey guys, I just ordered a Huawei P20 Pro and I was kind of worried about the lack of stabilization in 4K video recording. I was just wondering if Huawei has mentioned bringing stabilization in an update at some point in the future? I know OnePlus was able to do it with the OnePlus 5, so I really don't see why Huawei wouldn't be able to do it as well.

They made some improvement in camera section in few recent updates. Slow mo feature is at least as good as S9 now. It can auto detect object movement and start the slow mo. Pro mode has got some improvements as well. More variables are available now, like ISO 102K (previously only up to 3200, then updated to become 6400, and now at full capability)
I think we will eventually see the stabilisation in few more updates. Just cross the finger and hope that kirin 970 is capable enough.
They just released the GPU boost for Mate 10 btw, cant wait for it to arrive in P20. Or maybe, ported. :silly:
