How Are incoming MMS ?

Are video text still showing up small when someone sends it to you. That's the one things I couldn't stand on the Note 4.

Not sure about that. But when I receive images, I always have to 'download' it.

Thanks for replying back. When you download it. Does it take up the entire screen when you play the mms?

OK I ran a test for you. Recorded a video, actually two (one landscape and one portrait) on an iPhone and sent both via text messaging to my Note 5. In each case (on At&t) the video was compressed to 3gp. Both lost considerable resolution and played back in small windows. Still images, while they do get compressed over mms, will display in fairly good quality and in full screen or according to the format in which they were taken. I never send video over standard mms and will share them via a cloud drive service such as Dropbox or Google drive. By doing so, you can share full resolution and don't have other limitations imposed through messaging restrictions. iOS devices get around these limitations using apple servers and iMessage.
