Streaming 4K content typically uses between 7 GB to 15 GB of data per hour, depending on the streaming platform, compression techniques, and video quality settings. Here’s a general breakdown:
– Low compression (higher quality): Up to 15 GB per hour
– Moderate compression (standard 4K streaming): Around 7-10 GB per hour
– High compression (more efficient codecs like HEVC/H.265): Around 7-10 GB per hour, though the visual quality may be slightly reduced
Streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video use various methods to adjust video quality, so actual data usage may vary based on factors such as network speed and device capabilities.
