Video quality is crazy these days, but as they say, good hardware is an expensive task. Google is tackling this with a game-changer: deploying more extensions on the AV1 codec in Android 12 and beyond.

VLC’s open video codec, also known as AV1, promises world-class quality video with optimal startup times for Netflix series. This enables applications to run with less lag, even on devices with lower processing capabilities.

The most pleasant part of this news is given to those people who are in the senior age group in terms of phone usage. Google has preset the tuning of AV1 to be able to clear the framework generation after generation on these devices. Imagine yourself that you will always have a media library that will meet your needs, even during heavy video footage.

This update is a milestone that highlights how all devices can now access these lossless video experiences regardless of device performance. The visually stimulating world of high-definition video streaming is here for you with the power of AV1 on the Android platform.
