Smartphones can be attacked in various ways. Malware such as viruses and trajans are as dangerous for phones as they are for computers. However, this problem, which has recently emerged for Android-signed phone models, is quite different from the others.
Alien movie’s 4K video is causing problems for Pixel phones
As many people have reported on Reddit, a YouTube video is causing some Pixel phone users to experience significant problems. According to users’ reports, the video causes some phones to crash. Additionally, some users are also reporting that they are experiencing cellular network issues after trying to watch the video. After restarting the phone, it is stated that the problems disappear.
It turned out that the problem has so far manifested itself on Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6A models. However, it is worth saying that this problem is not experienced by all Pixel phone owners. Some users state that their Pixel devices are able to play the video without any problems.
The video in question is a scene from the movie Alien. It seems that the video shared as 4K HDR was uploaded about 2 years ago. Although it has been on the air for a while, the video has come to the fore recently, with Pixel phones crashing. Other Android-signed phone models, on the other hand, do not seem to have any problems yet.
