I don't know what you're responding to? This isn't moving anyone new to 4K, just making 4K more efficient when it is utilized.

The very first sentence in the article (summary) is about 4k video, and it's supposedly something mobile users are whining about:
> With the rise of 4K video, the AV1 codec is becoming popular for better quality on Android devices.
So I don't get why people are putting themselves in that situation in the first place. It's like choosing to use a fork to row a boat and then going waaaahhhh this isn't working very well... no shit, wrong tool for the job.
