YouTube now allows you to search for videos with 4K resolution
The video platform of YouTube is unstoppable. And it is that it does nothing more than show what's new in recent days, either with 360-degree videos, new types of annotations during playback or even showing a possible new experimental design. Well, like every early Thursday morning, Google launches updates and this week it was YouTube's turn again.Of course, this time the changes are not so noticeable and surprising, although the most purist users of this video social network will like them.
This is YouTube version 10.10 for the Android platform , and only an improvement is shown in its list of new features Thus, from this version, users can apply the 4K criteria in their video searches This allows them to come across content that offers a reproduction quality four times higher than Full HD or 1080 pixel resolution Something that will please lovers of detail in the image Of course, to enjoy it to the fullest, it is necessary to have a device capable of playing videos at such resolution across the screen Somewhat difficult issue in current mobile devices, although it allows you to search for this content to send it to smart televisions connected to the Internet that do have screens with UHD resolutions or 4K
To use this filter it is only necessary to write the title or words of the video that you want to search for in the search box. After that, on the right side of this box, an icon appears that allows you to display the filters and search criteria. This is where the new 4K box appears that can be checked before doing the search to find this type of video. Thus, it is no longer only possible to search for those in HD quality, in 3D or live (Live) that also appear among these criteria.
However, there is more news that the medium Android Police has been in charge of discovering thanks to its habit of scrutinizing these updates , thus discovering the future plans of the company GoogleIn this way, they have been surprised not to see the activation of the criteria of circular videos (with round format) discovered in past versions. Some videos focused on playback on smart watches with round dials Apart from this, a very small visual change has been discovered when posting new videos from the application. And it is that the icon that used to be formed by an up arrow to upload a video after editing it, has now changed to the already classic icon of the arrow made with a paper plane Very recognizable since it is the same icon used for messaging applications when sending, as is the case ofHangouts
In short, a minor update, which will not satisfy users who do not have devices or televisions with 4K screens, but which it is necessary to accept the new quality standard that is making its way among current content.The new version of YouTube has already been released in stages for the platform Android It will arrive progressively through Google Play free of charge.
