4K/8K Recording Time Limits? - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

On my current Galaxy S9+ there is a hard 5 minute recording limit for 4K60 (using main camera) & I'm wondering if this limit has been removed on the S20+/S20 Ultra & S21 Ultra???
All these 3 models claim: [email protected], [email protected]/60fps but no mention of hard time limits on recording at the highest quality?

Please can someone who has a Galaxy S20+ or Galaxy S20 Ultra or Galaxy S21 Ultra do a test recording at 4k60 to see if there is a hard time limit on the recording??
This is really important for me to know.

Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G Main camera @ 4k/60 I stopped the recording at 6:30 and it was still recording when I stopped it.
Hope this helps

Thank you so much for your help.
I assume you used the standard, built-in video recorder & not a 3rd party app?
Would you also be able to do the same test using 8k (presumably 24fps) ?

I had such problem and turns out it is the system killing the recording due to overheating. I managed to record about 17 min though.

So what happened to the recording?
With hindsight, if you start the recording with the phone totally "cold" does that help?

8k/24fps Main camera stock app i stopped the recording at 10.00 mins and it was still recording.

4Gb of recording of one 4K video was the limit on Android 10. On Android 11 the limit has gone. Maybe it has something to deal with recording limitations on an older devices.

It depends on what do they include as hardware is very oddly when dealing with IMG series 6 compared with Snapdragon 800 series.
Shortly, one of the newest SoC, MTK6795 (Helios X10) has IMG G6200 inside while Your asked is equipped with IMG G6430, You may refer gsmarena.
It is believed the system you mentioned can handle 4K recording. However, There may be no accelaration when recording in HEVC.

how to remove 4k @60fps 5 minutes video recording on samsung galaxy s9

hello,
how to remove 4k @60fps 5 minutes video recording on samsung galaxy s9 camera?
any third party app that record 60fps?
i already have samsung galaxy s7 which records unlimited video at any quality, the phone was live demo unit, so i do not know is that makes it different to end customer unite, because i heard people have restriction on video recording on their samsung galaxy s7 but i have not that issue on s7 record until i hit stop.
thank you
update
after searching on google i found out my galaxy s7 is SM-G930F Exynos 8890 so it has no limitation record because of Exynos 8890 chip so i gues the rumors is samsung galaxy has restricted video recording on s9 to 5 minutes or 10 minutes, because they wanted equalize between global variant chips so usa version does not look inferior to EU version ofExynos 9810.
so i guess we need someone who has knowledge to repack the camera app and remove video limitation and also can add 120fps to 4k video because the chip is capable.
Just give it some time someone will have a mod for it likely
sent from my Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
just give it some time someone will have a mod for it likely
ok thank you
just to confirm front facing record . QHD no limit while rear camera record QHD 5 minutes only so it is software restriction not hardware, we hope to see someone remove these restriction soon.

Doesn`t the normal SD chipset work for everyone not on the exynos chip?
Holding my fingers crossed for a Exynos port of the Gcam for the Ultra. Even with the camera update it seriously smears the texture on photos and have had some horrible portrait photos as a result.
Most annoying part is that if you use the pro mode you get excellent results without any smeared skin tones but using the main camera set on auto without bixby scene detection and 12mp binned photos it sure looks like **** most of the time.
I think Samsung REALLY needs to improve a lot on the camera or it will be the biggest camera failure in the last 10 years....
So unless you mainly post to instagram and actually want to print pictures I suggest you use the 108mp setting and give it a quick sharpening in snapseed (or lightroom for some much needed defringing and sharpening)
So I´m holding out hope for a Gcam port for us stuck with the Exynos chipset that seems to produce slightly worse then the Snapdragon powered Ultra.
Other then that, I love the S20 Ultra and a worthy upgrade from my old S8+

I cant understand. I have oneplus 6.... crapy photie... I gave up and bought S20 Ultra... even crappier photos..... what is going on?????
With gcam one plus 6 photos almost looks great...
Should I sell S20 and buy Xiaom 10?
Hardware in S20 should be much better than in mi 10... but looks like software is crap??
Thank you for suggestions

What do you suggest?
if you can get snapdragon go for s20 if not just go for oppo xfinder x2 or mi 10 pro if camera is important for you, if you want the best camera go for p40 check dxomark.com for camera rankings although p40 have no google services but can be installed in less than 10 minutes
So for EU (Exynos) version of S20 Ultra there is no hope?

I use ZGCAM vers.917 on my EXYNOS S20 Ultra (XEF) :
-Night mode front and back
-PhotoBooth
-Photo Sphère (bugs sometimes)
-Slow Motion
-Zoom
-Video
-Google Lens
-Portrait (back and Front)
-Panorama
pictures looks better with stock in most of the cases (Night shoots) but with the correct settings i think GCAM will be much better than stock.
with the virus it's hard for me to spend a lot time outside to find the best set up but i think it's a good begining.
I can't share my pictures or setting for the moment( need 10 usefull posts before..)
let me know if you need more details
It is working!!
First app that has worked for me until now
Thank you very much
Do you know the best settings to use this cam on auto? Never worked with Gcam before

Actually, when I try night mode it shuts down the camera

Galaxy Note 10+ Low Light Update Needed?

I recently watched a video from Max Tech, it was a blind camera review between the S20 Ultra, S20+ & Note 10+...
Link to video
The Note 10+ dominates for a lot of the video but around the 13:20 mark on the video, Max says the Note 10+ fell apart during the low light test because of the camera software not hardware he notes that the Note 10+ could only do 5 second exposure time on the latest update as opposed to the 20+ second exposure time of the S20+ & S20 Ultra & that Samsung could actually fix this in a update.
So why did I make this thread? To complain? No.
I made this thread because I'm curious what you guys think, do you think Samsung will provide us with such a update?, I'm not even sure if they're aware of this issue that's holding the Note 10+ back, but anyway let me know what you guys think, maybe if this gets enough attention and under the assumption Samsung are unaware, we can shed some light on it, in hope of a update/fix!
Impressed that that N10+ held its own there. A software update would be great. Wonder how those same situations would compare using the PixelCam apk. Ty for highlighting this video. Still extremely happy with my N10+.

Agree, after update to Android 10 photo are more grainy. They decrease quality because of S20 premiere.

I don't think it's a Android 10 issue specifically regarding low light, the exposure time being 5 seconds is also prevelant in Android 9 (I've read), it's something Samsung need to newly introduce, extending it, in a future update as far as I'm aware
Also better iso and long exposure. Android 9 had limited iso to 800 and long exposure to 5s. Android 10 3200 max iso and 30 s long exposure. For night landscape with milky way stars or moon this is a huge difference. I stayed on android 9 until last week aswell and i tell you that in camera and battery android 10 is better. Beware i f you update ti backup. I update my phone without backup and loose my calendar some contacts and some movie in secure folder

How are you getting 30 seconds exposure on Android 10, I'm on Android 10 also and it's still only 5 seconds, same as the video I provided, that's why I made the thread as it seems it's capped even on Android 10?
Edit: Is it with the new OneUI 2.1 update?
Once I have the OneUI 2.1 update, I'll be sure to update this thread for anyone interested

Question Does the Google Pixel 6 Pro support super slow-mo recording (960 fps) like the Samsungs?

Hey everyone,
There is currently a good deal on the Google 6 Pro if I trade in my Note 20. But among other concerns I was wondering if there is a Super Slo-Mo mode on the Google Pixel 6 Pro.
Any other thoughts on the phone would be welcome to. Is it worth the change from my Note 20?
Thanks!
I did a quick test of the slow-motion feature at its slowest setting, 1/8x, and it looks like it only goes up to 240FPS.

Thank you! That's what gsmarena specs say but I figured I'd ask. how has the phone been for you so far?
It is crackers that it doesn't do 480fps or slower even the OP 7t could manage 960fps (albeit very, very briefly)
