Once 8k streaming becomes popular 5G will be a must.

  The highest 4G speed tiers around here go up to 600Mbps, which should be enough for 8k. https://elisa.fi/kauppa/#!/nettiliittymat/mobiililaajakaista https://elisa.fi/kauppa/#!/nettiliittymat/mobiililaajakaista (Finnish) Edit: looks like DNA's 4G Max plans go up to at least 880Mbps based on users' speedtest results: https://bbs.io-tech.fi/threads/nettiliittymaesi-taemaenhetkinen-nopeus-keskustelua.2994/page-40 https://bbs.io-tech.fi/threads/nettiliittymaesi-taemaenhetki... (Finnish - the 15ms+ ones are from 4G)

  > Once 8k streaming 8k on a mobile device doesn't seem all that logical imho. 720p or 1080p is already pretty good on a tiny screen.

    Many people hold their phone much closer to their face than a TV or regular monitor. Screen size is irrelvant, what's important is how much of your field of vision is taken up by the screen. I would argue phones are even the device where 4k and 8k make the most sense because of how close you can get to them without effort.

This makes logical sense, but isn't the case in my experience. Many games look noticeably better on my Switch's 720p screen than on my larger 1080p monitor, despite running at native resolution (720p handheld vs 1080p docked) on each.
