Well, we would be using a couple of ADB commands that will render everything in 4K and then outputs it on the display just like what Retina Displays or Nvidia DSR does. But will a 4K video look good on a 2K screen? Well, it’s subjective and boils down to individual preferences. For me, the display felt a lot sharper, the edges felt smoother, the fonts look fantastic, and the overall quality was indeed much improved in comparison with the stock 2K. The difference is all the more visible on YouTube as it compresses the video on the server-side before being played on your tablet. So when you will select the video quality as 4K in the app, it will have a much higher bitrate than 1440p and hence you will get a better viewing experience. On that note, let’s check out the steps to play YouTube videos in 4K resolution on your Samsung Galaxy Tab S7/S7+.
How to Play YouTube Videos in 4K in Samsung Galaxy Tab S7/S7+
The below instructions are listed under separate sections for ease of understanding. Make sure to follow in the exact same sequence as mentioned.
STEP 1: Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.
STEP 2: Enable USB Debugging
Next up, you will have to enable USB Debugging on your device so that it is recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. So head over to Settings > About Tablet > Tap on Build Number 7 times > Go back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging.
STEP 3: Establish ADB Shell Connection
