How to play 1080p video on my A7 (2016)

[Android Central Question]

The screen clearly supports 1080p but cant watch youtube videos in 1080p

Welcome to Android Central.

What carrier do you have and what data plan? Many carriers throttle data so that FHD video cannot be streamed. For example: Verizon https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/verizon-new-unlimited-plans-august-2019/

Few things to check.

Phone might have power saving or a lower screen resolution selected, reducing screen resolution is an option most Samsung phones have.

Is the video available in 1080p? Are all videos restricted below 1080p?

Is it a problem on both WiFi and data? As mentioned above some carriers have put restrictions on streaming resolutions.
