Google Duo Testing H.265 Codec for Improved Video Calls In Low Connectivity
Google recently started rolling out a new update for its video calling app Duo (v26). While the update itself doesn't bring any pregnant changes for the stop user, an APK teardown conducted by Android Law reveals that Google has started testing the h.256 codec for video compression.
Google Duo currently uses the h.264 codec for video compression and upgrading to the h.265 codec is expected to significantly meliorate video compression. The h.265 codec is a "widely supported standard on modern chipsets and delivers extremely good compression compared to h.264." While the original tester didn't find any difference upon forcing h.265, it is expected to do good users who have a slow or unreliable net connectedness.
The post-obit strings of code plant within the app reveal that Duo may eventually become support for the h.265 codec:
<string proper noun="pref_h265x_title">Use H265x</cord>
<string name="pref_h265x_dlg">Apply H265x</string>
<string name="pref_h265x_key">h265x_preference</string>from /xml/preferences.xml
<ListPreference android:entries="@array/autoOrBooleanValues" android:layout="@layout/settings_preference" android:title="@string/pref_h265x_title" android:key="@string/pref_h265x_key" android:defaultValue="@string/pref_value_auto" android:dialogTitle="@string/pref_h265x_dlg" android:entryValues="@array/autoOrBooleanValues" />
The teardown also reveals more information virtually a video message feature, which has been spotted in previous versions of the app. The video message feature will permit users to send their contacts a video message without connecting a call and the recipient will be able to view the message, save them for later or delete them. Additionally, the teardown also highlights the Google sign-in selection which is currently in the works and will let users to connect with other using their Gmail ID, with no need to share their phone number.
As of now, Google has revealed no data nigh the same features and since they're still in development you shouldn't expect them to go live someday soon. Just like the camera adjustments characteristic was removed from the app with this update, there is besides a possibility that the features may be shelved altogether.
