Amazon will soon bring its 4K video streaming service on Prime Instant Video!
In an interview with Amazon Instant Video marketing director Russell Morris, PC Advisor was told that an Android app version of the video service was “imminent”. Whether that means smartphones and tablets or just one initially wasn’t clear..
Amazon is now shooting all of its original video content such as sponsored shows and movies produced by Amazon studios in native 4K Ultra HD resolution at 3,840 x 2,160 pixels and will soon begin streaming everything they produce on the UHD scale.
Morris also confirmed that the Internet sales giant has a dedicated team working on making sure that their 4K content is of the highest quality and overall entertainment value for subscribers of their Prime service.
Given that Netflix, UltraFlix (of Califronia based NanoTech), Comcast, DirecTV and a number of other broadcasters and content producers are all promising to stream 4K content or are already streaming it to their existing customers, the pressure on Amazon to do the same is constant and serious.
There aren’t any other details yet on exactly when Amazon’s 4K streaming services will be available to Samsung owners (or how much that content will cost), but we imagine it’ll be ready to go when its new lineup of 4K TVs start shipping to consumers.
