The Impact of Mobile Device Preference on the Quality of Experience

Quality of Experience (QoE) is not only related to network impairments and video signal quality. Recent studies have found that video content preference also has an impact on the QoE. To date, no research has reported the impact of device preference on the QoE. In this context, we investigate the impact of mobile devices preference on the QoE for video services. We evaluate the QoE of watching videos using mobile devices of different models, sizes, resolutions and densities. The experimental results based on subjective tests have shown that QoE is highly correlated with user preference on mobile devices.
