        @Photojoe4 OnePlus didn't start selling phones on my country until last year. I don't know can I use Turkish phone operators on it.

          @dobey What is wrong with watching videos exactly? Are they slow?

            @linuxadopter There is an issue specific to N5, video play back is not possible with media player : https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1092
            With N5, you need to play videos with UTmedia.

                @libremax An HTML5 based video player. What is different about it aside from being web based? Also why web based videos aren't effected by the issue?

                  A few days ago on the dev channel of a Nexus 5, the playback of a small mp4 video DOWNLOADED was working again (image of the video displayed in the gallery. Now, not again : format not recognized again
                  But, even if the playback was possible, there was still this known problem: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/7 (distorted colours). Rainbow flashi effect...
                  So even if playback is sometimes possible, viewing can make you think of someone who has taken a good dose of... what you want 😉

                    @linuxadopter The web browser is not playing video using the hardware decoding. It's all going through software only.

                      @dobey Understood. One last question: Because it's a web app I'm assuming that it wouldn't work without internet, correct?

                        Not really webapp can use locally stored data (like html pages or local db).
                        But a webapp requires networking rights to run.

                          @AppLee So it does need internet. That doesn't sound good at all. I don't think I'll get an Nexus 5 and... there isn't anything else guys. Right now it makes much more sense to just get a phone with LineageOS and postmarketOS support and switch to postmarketOS when it has replacment apps for the apps I use on my android device. Sorry.

                            @linuxadopter No. Local HTML apps do not need to connect to the internet to work. Thus, UTMedia doesn't. You just need internet to use OpenStore app and install it.

                              @dobey Oh. Okay, maybe Nexus does deserve a chance after all!

                                For what it's worth, @linuxadopter, I'm very happy with my Nexus5 running UT. 😄
