YouTube introduces '1080p Premium' with improved bitrate for Android and Google TV.
YouTube is testing its new 1080p Premium tier with better bitrate for its Premium subscribers on Android and Google TV. The feature was first spotted in February and was exclusive to iPhone and Apple TV. Google officially announced the feature in April and said it would be coming to Android later on. The new tier is not a paywall for existing quality, but an entirely new quality tier for YouTube that is exclusive to Premium members. The existing 1080p tier is unchanged and still free for everyone.
