I'm aware that many people have recently been having a problem on their S6 edge+ and Note 5 units where YouTube will display all supported resolutions (up to 1440p), but only in 30Hz.
This problem is similar to one that we experienced last year on the Nexus 5, and they're both /server side/ issues.
Whereas last year we had to edit the Android version in build.prop to 4.4.2 or L to receive 1080p YouTube, the problem with the S6e+/Note 5 lies in the model number displayed in build.prop.
Google simply hasn't added these larger devices to their list of "60Hz compatible phones", so when they see that you're using a G928 or N920, they don't give you the 60Hz option.
The fix, however, is /easy/ but requires ROOT ACCES:
0: Create a backup of your build.prop (remember to set permissions to 644 or RW R R if you restore it!)
1: Open it and change the model number from SM-G928$ to SM-G925F (European S6 edge) or from SM-N920$ to SM-G920F (European S6).
2: Save, reboot, and clear YouTube's cache
Now you should be up and running with 1080p at no cost to any other functionality whatsoever!
Everything else on your phone should work exactly the same, because you're just making apps think that you have a smaller but nearly equally-specced device (they're the same except for 1GB more ram on the + and Note, but the build.prop edit won't affect that at all).
Good luck!!
