Android 11 could finally let you record videos over 4G in size

26 December 2019
The limitation has been there since 2014, when the first phones supporting 4K recording were launched.

Shanti Dope, 28 Dec 2019So what you've said basically just proves his point further... moreyou cry too much defending Sony when people who knows Sony doesn't need it defended, i am with you that Xperia XZ Premium and beyond doesn't heat, tho my old Xperia XZ Premium has heating problems after 2years of doing heavy gaming and cam usage on a daily basis, but he's also right about gaming phones needing cooling system

      What i cant get my head. Sony make verygood camera sensors for mobile phones. And there most of the best camera phones. But not 1 Sony device is in the dxomark top 10 for best camera phone. But other companies like hauwei mate 30 pro. Coupled with a leica lens gets best camera phone. So take note. Start producing amazing lens with your top end sensors. You could get back in the game.

        Shanti Dope, 28 Dec 2019So what you've said basically just proves his point further... morePhone chipset or the chipset inside your tablet /laptop /desktop PC will always benefit from more cooling. Sony, Apple, Samsung, Huawei all throttle when continuous gaming, this is why cooling was needed for gaming phones, same cooling helps whenever the Soc is pushed in heavy duty task(video rendering, 4k video).

        The guy i replied to was basically saying that cooling in gaming phones doesn't help during 4k video which is not true. Why are you getting triggered for calling him a brandboy? Cooling technology employed in gaming phones should be added to all these 1000 dollar flagships. Helps in multiple scenarios.

          But viewing experience of 4k on TV is miles better than any tiny smartphone display.
          Are you telling me 4k on 7 inch smartphone is better than watching it on a 50+ inch large screen TV with A+ grade HDR?

              "Note 10 got best stabilization? LOL since when? "
              >>Well when you start using other flagships apart from Sony, you'll know. Plenty of OIS test on YouTube comparing galaxy note 10+,iPhone 11 pro and Mate 30 pro.

              This is the perfect case of "the grapes being sour"
              So, Sony can't stabilize 4k footage properly, so other Android manufacturers also can't.
              Sony can't do 4k 60fps, so other Android manufacturers must also struggle with proper 4k 60fps. The grapes are really sour.

                Sony Xperia XZ Premium and beyond DON'T OVERHEAT WHEN RECORDING IN 4K. GET THAT INSIDE YOUR HEAD.
                IT'S NOT DEFENDING IF I COULD GIVE YOU A LIVING PROOF OF THAT.

                  It's not like before where you can't tell a difference between QHD and UHD on 5.5" screens (well, even FHD is adequately sharp enough at such screen size, don't know why they had to go with QHD in the first place).
                  Many people have already said that they can tell a difference in picture quality (not pixellations, just the image clarity overall) between a 4K panel and a 2K one. Perhaps you can get your eyes checked and see a Sony Premium phone first to see what we're talking about.

                    Anonymous, 28 Dec 2019You don't get it do you? 4k Hdr 10 bit from a professional... moreOh really?
                    I watched Xperia 1 4K HDR video samples on my 4K HDR Sony Bravia TV (yes, they're in the correct HDR format) and the difference is mind-blowing. So much so, I actually could tell it's a different format of video by just watching it the very first time.
                    hokoonho from YouTube uploads proper 4K HDR video clips shot with Xperia phones, and IIRC, he also uploaded a side-by-side comparison with the Galaxy S10 in 4K HDR as well, which the Sony dominated so well in the battle.

                        Anonymous, 27 Dec 2019Lol nobody watches 4k video on smartphone, utterly useless.... moreNot gonna feed your ego with the fact that you're using a clearly inferior display.
                        Many have already spoken that there's a clear difference in pure picture quality between the Xperia 1 and Galaxy Note 10+. Yes, those people have truly seen the phones by themselves in real life. I forgot where I saw them, but trust me when I say that even the previous XZ Premium (the last Sony Xperia Premium phone I ever saw and used personally) has a display that's still wonderful to use this year.
                        You don't go around and travel while carrying a 4K HDR TV, which is why Sony brought that feature to smartphones so that we get to enjoy watching high quality movies on the go.
                        I'd smash my own phone if Samsung or Apple never adopts 4K HDR on their smartphones in the next 5 years or so.

                          Anonymous, 27 Dec 2019Samsung already does 4k 60fps with 4k 10bit hdr recording. ... moreThey're one year late to the race, yet the one that they offer is actually not even as good as what Sony is giving us.
                          Sure, 4K 60fps is fun and all, but what good is it when it can't carry a good stabilization? Even iPhones have average stabilization in this mode (though still better than all Android phones that could do it too).
                          Note 10 got best stabilization? LOL since when?
                          Their Super Steady Mode makes use of UWA lens for super smooth stabilization, but once the light drops down, quality degrades like hell, and you're better off using the main lens instead. Well, Sony's stabilization in 1080p is very clean and silky smooth - no jittering or blurring effect caused by EIS whatsoever. Now it only needs to make its way to 4K mode and everything is done.
                          iPhones did 4K 60fps properly because they at least offered some good stabilization with it (though average at best, still much better than what Androids could give out, which they pretty much have nothing at all).
                          Talk about no compromises when the Galaxy S9 series and Note 9 overheated when shooting 4K 60fps for longer than 5 minutes, and it's only this time that they've fixed that LMAO.

                            Gaming phones are equipped with cooling solutions which make the entire device run cool whether it is gaming or video rendering or 4k video recording.

                            Every phone without cooling(iPhone, S10, mate 30 pro) gets hot but not so hot that it is unusable.
                            Gaming phones stay cool under load. But a Sony brandboy will defend its overheating cr**

                              All I said is that, no matter how good the display, 4k video consumption will always be better on large screen TV compared to tiny smartphone.
                              Most people use TV for 4k videos not their Smartphones.

                                4k Hdr 10 bit from a professional video camera Will give you considerable difference in footage quality when compared to non hdr 4k.
                                The same footage shot from a smartphone has less differences coz of sensor limitations on smartphone hardware.
                                Tested on 4k hdr TV.

                                      During games just cpu/gpu is stressed.
                                      During videos, sensor generates heat too. Too much heat can damage the camera. That is why older Xperia stopped the recording.

                                      Except iphone, xperia and s10 series, rest have limits.
                                      Pixel 4 for example finishes and start another video and you dont even realize.
