Unfortunately no, it's up to the processor

Unfortunately, there is no 4K video recording on the device. The max resolution for the Honor 8 is 1080P/60p. (NS)

i'm looking into this phone. would like to have 4k in my future phone. don't have a 4k capable monitor/tv and probably never will. even if this phone had 4k, or those that do have it like galaxy s8 and other expensive flagships, is it me or is 4k in phones overrated? i looked at s8 video and it doesn't seem like gopro or a dedicated compact cam quality. I don't know if it's me or phones have lower bitrate, worse or no stabilization or inferior something else. I don't even have 1080/60 in my phones. It would be cool to have 2k/60 but i dream. Trying to decide if i should keep using my new cheap but fast phone and get a premium 4k action cam or invest in a 4k phone.

with out the SOC support how can we record ?

It is impossibe to make honor 8 shoot 4K, basically because the chipset (kirin 950) can't record video in that resolution

It's not possible to shoot 4k but if you can convert the video to 4k using 3rd party video editor in Honor 8.

The chip probably capable of doing so but somehow restricted for business reasons like how the 'flagship' p9 couldn't do the same but other android phones with less capable soc (sd625) could.

Ho then there is a way or us we have to find

It is simply impossible, because kirin 950 isn't snapdragon 625, basically the kirin 950 doesn't support 4K video. Simple as that

But this is flag ship of honor 8 is last year flagship , if there is recording capable ,devs will updates us

The ISP in the Honor 8 can't record 4K video, simple as that. It's not an update thing, it's a hardware limitation.

It can't record 4K, look at fireyoshiqc explanation

Could you guys test this.
Download Open Camera, go to Settings and scroll all way down then enable camera2 api. Then open the video settings and check the video resolution options. On my phone there will be 2 additional resolutions higher than 1080p but only the top one managed to record video successfully. It's not 4k but higher than full HD though I'm not sure if it's actually recording in that resolution or simply a mistake in the camera app.

Can you try recording in these resolutions?! Tell us if it works or not

Tried it. The resolution of the file is 4k alright but the quality is either worse or on par with the stock app on 1080p/60
And without stabilization on open camera it starts lagging after a few secs.
All on auto settings and stock rom.
Though the stock file was 4 times bigger than the opencamera one so tweaking the settings might help.
Then again afaik stock has the best quality anyway so no clue what 4k would add to that. Not quality though for sure

[Q] Will the Nexus 5 camera record in slow motion?

I know the camera has something more than the 4 (even though it's still 8mp) but will it have slow motion recording, or does that require special hardware like HTC's ImageSense?
I think it record 1080p at 60fps. You can use the software of your choice to slow down the video. Or buy an HTC.
which HTC model can take show motion?

Probably not.
The camera, CPU, and storage should be fast enough for [email protected] You will need a camera app with a high speed mode. Then change the video from 100+fps to probably 15-30fps.

4K playing must also be supported by the hardware, which is not present in Honor 6X.

Is possible to get 1080p/60fps in video recording?

Title
I would also like know the answer.
On MIUI 9 it was possible, everything worked great. After update (I don't know which) to MIUI 10 it's possible to record only in 1080p 30fps or 4k 30 fps
Mi 8 , Poco and mix 2s will get 4k 60fps next month
so it is not happened in the end

We've got 4k 60fps. Why would you need 1080p?

Display Quality With Netflix

Hi, can anyone share their experiences using XZP watching Netflix? Especially the HDR and the 4K.
I'm on edge whether buying XZP or LG V30.
I will be using the phone mainly for watching, reading, and using moonlight.
Lg V30 has oled dolby vision and bigger screen.
Quality is great especially on downloaded contents but beware, only HDR is supported by the Netflix app, 4k resolution is not available even though the display is 4k, not even 1080p, the max resolution we can have is 720p, this applies to every device as far as i know
Thanks for the feedback. I followed up on this and found that there is a modded netflix app on XDA that allows up to 4K. Gonna try that.
I am just curious 720p HDR vs 1080p and even 4k, which do you think worth more?

Actually I'm not really sure if I can see any difference when HDR is used but probably I've never seen any side to side comparison, probably I would prefer 4k over HDR just because I think the difference between 720 and 4k is incredible.
P.s can you please pm me the thread to the modded APK? Thanks
Yup sent.

S9+ 120fps Camera Mod? (request)

The A50 has just recieved a 120fps camera mod.
There are numerous sources that confirm that the S9 is capable of this.
[Unfortunately as i am a lurker and do not have an account i cannot post links yet so you will have to search yourselves but the sources are numerous]
It is quite obvious that Samsung limited this feature, perhaps in order to segment their branding or because they felt that it was too unstable.
Does anyone know if there is an existing mod for this?
I have a 144hz monitor and would love to start capturing footage I can watch at a higher framerate.
Thanks

Trying to figure this out. super slow mo runs at like 940 fps and slow mode like 240. My numbers might be a bit off. but it already its higher than 120

Oh i thought you were a developer. The S9 can record at 240fps but the actual video is only exported in 60fps and plays at 60fps. I can tell by comparing actual 120fps video with slow mo video i recorded myself without exporting it.

I see now. Lol. That's kinda weird. I'm sure it will come along soon enough mate.
guys.. just open the camera and go to the settings and chose 720p as a resloution.. it will record and export in 240fps and you can do whatever it is that you want with it!
