Re: Does qHD mobile play Full HD videos

Technically if the phone is powerful enough, you can play any resolution, but you can only see what your screen resolution is.

qHD=540x960
FHD=1080x1920

As you can see, qHD is exactly half of Full HD. So even though you could probably play a (1080x1920)file, you would only be able to see 540x960 worth of that video.

old thread. If you want to play your HD Videos on QHDmovile, then it will depend on the resolution of your mobile. If the resolution is very high , the the playback will be jerky

Not always jerky. I have a 480x800 resolution on my Lumia 720 and it plays 1920x1080 flawlessly.
