1080P MKV Videos Playback on Sony Xperia Z/Samsung Galaxy S4


MKV is one of the most widely used video formats today, so it would not be strange to us, isn’t it? Today, many people would like to adopt MKV format in saving their HD videos. It is also favored by the anime and TV shows fan-subbing community since MKV supports multiple audio and subtitle tracks in a single video file. As MKV is such a great format container with that many advantages, some newly designed mobile devices now can somewhat support to play MKV videos.
Nowadays, many mobile devices are designed with big screens, providing high resolution display. Such kind of devices could be outstanding for enjoying high definition videos and movies anywhere. Clearly, to get 1080P MKV videos playback on popular mobile devices will certainly be of great fun. Which is the best device for us to enjoy videos? Well, let’s take a have a look at two of the new favorite in the consumer electrics market:

Xperia Z is the brand new flagship smartphone of Sony. After the HTC Butterfly, the Xperia Z is the second phone to sport a 1080p display. The phone sports a 5-inch TFT display that has a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels and a pixel density of 441ppi. The screen is bright and vivid, and text looks extremely crisp while app icons and images look sharp. Images and videos look spectacular thanks to the addition of Sony's BRAVIA Engine 2.
The Galaxy S4, which has been announced to be unveiled by Samsung at its own exclusive event in New York on March 14, is expected to have a full-HD 1920×1080 display (up from 1280×720 on the S3) — and the display might even make the jump from 4.8 inches to an edge-to-edge 5 inches. It remains to be seen whether the underlying tech will be AMOLED or LCD, though reports suggest that Samsung’s AMOLED production line isn’t ready to produce 1920×1080 5-inch displays, while the LCD production line is raring to go. Maybe this will mean that the Galaxy S4 can finally compete with the iPhone in terms of image quality and accuracy.

As has been talked about above, these brand new devices will probably be able to play videos in a wide range of formats like MPEG4, WMV, MP4, DivX, XviD, FLV, H.263, H.264, AVI (divx), MKV, etc. However, that doesn’t mean they can recognize all MKV videos, since MKV is only a container format which could be consist of various different video codecs, so sometimes we may encounter the format compatibility problems, especially when we try to play 1080p MKV with these devices like importing MKV to Galaxy S4 or 1080p MKV to Sony Xperia Z. In this circumstance, we’ll need to convert 1080P MKV to H.264 MP4.
