The Youtube App only allows you to view UP TO Native display resolution. (1080p for 1080p Displays, 1440p for 1440p Displays)

Download and setup YoutubeVANCED
Its a clone of the Youtube APP on Android, and allows Higher than native when setup in the options.

maybe it's me but i don't see the benefit of watching downscaled content like 4k on 1080p,

Typically yes,..unless you use a phone pretty up close...eyestrain is another story.
It's a person to person basis on the resolution difference being visible, especially on smaller displays like smartphones.
(but yes you would normally need a larger screen to see these differences without pixel peeping)

Whats not placebo is the extra datarate (12-24Mb/s vs eG 24-45Mb/s)  backing the video, the datarates being increased at the higher resolutions does produce cleaner images in more demanding frame transitions of color/visibility/lighting.

Smoke/Grass/Transparency (and following frames overtime, these effects fade in color and lightness, changing each frame) so the datarate would be higher/per second in those situations (frame to frame KB/s)

 

YoutubeVanced for Android gets around a locked 1080p Resolution in the typical YT APP and allows 1440p-2160p for supporting phones with supporting codecs in its own YT APP clone.

It's a website search for YTVanced,..not on the play store.

 

Default for most phones is the Phone not needing to be rooted/unlocked.

 

Here is that version.

Nope, they'd be the same.

YouTube still sends them the same 4K stream.

 

But if Chrome doesn't show 60fps quality settings then use Vanced.
