Now that the event has gone through, is it confirmed that there will be no 4K video recording? The snapdragon 800 is clearly capable of it.
Well all the 4K TV and monitor cost over ?3000 which no one will spend until they become cheaper so it useless having 4K video when you can't even view the full 4K.
However it may just need an update to enable it.
Also other high end devices don't shoot in 4K either and won't see it till 4K become the norm.
Why the hell would you need a 4K video recording capability? Majority of consumers (99%) don't even know what 4K is, let alone have a TV capable of that. Would you like your next smartphone to grab you a beer from the fridge as well? How about letting you control the International Space Station?
There is a line between what is necessary and what is ridiculous.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Galaxy Note 3, LG G2, and Sony Xperia Z1 all have the snapdragon 800 and support 4K recording. Maybe it's only 15fps, but it's cool! My only point is, if there's no hardware limitation, why not allow it? But maybe you're right, maybe it's just a software update away
We shouldn't get REAL 4K recording on phones till next year, maybe even two years. Right now, it's a joke on a phone.
The Snapdragon 800 is not capable of REAL 4k video recording.
Most full desktop processors are not capable of that.
I would rather have up to 120fps 720p video and 60fps 1080p video. 4k on phones seems unnecessary for now, especially since most people just upload video from cellphones to YouTube.
