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

there are some tweaks , but it will not get you propper results
but 4k is 4k, hardware must support it

Is there a way to have 4K video recording?

With root or something?
Thanks!

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

60 fps video recording

Hi guys i have xiaomi note 5, xiaomi mi max 3 and pocophone f1.
They all have about the same camera setup, however, on note 5 and max 3 (in miui 10) i have 1080p video recording at 60fps.
And on most expensive phone with strongest chipset, pocophone, i only have 1080p @ 30fps.
That is kind of nonsense.
Is it possible to have mi max 3 camera app on pocophone? Or is there any other way to record 60fps video with poco?

BSG 6.1 ,MIUI global Beta
I guess 60 fps does not mean all the way 60 fps .
I got just 28 fps on MIUI stock camera
I have same problem with Pixel Rom, Gcam cannot recorded 60Fps VIdeo

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.

4k 60fps 5 min

hello 4k 60fps 5 min recording why not recording longer ?
Possible overheat I would imagine
And the fact it might be a 40Gb file lol
Just kidding more like 5 or 6
Se recorder with H.264 or H.265?
A video of 6 secs in 4k 60fps Is more than 100mb
Inviato dal mio GM1913 utilizzando Tapatalk
I don't believe the OnePlus 7 pro can review in 10bit (x265) I don't think there is an H265 but could be wrong. The only 265 files I see for torrents is x265 and it's 10bit

You can record/covert videos in H265 or x265 without it requiring 10-bit color. There is a magisk mod for OnePlus 5 for recording in H265 and it works nicely. It's just more compressed and requires that codec on the playing machine to view, which would be included if you are able to record into it. (maybe someone will port the Magisk mod to the 7 Pro)

10bit IS x265 as there is no 10bit h264 anywhere. So if you're talking an 10bit file, it means x265. So by default I just use 10bit to explain x265. Also, there no one uses H265, it's almost all x265 so that's basically a non issue.

I think there`s an internal cache built into the camera and it would get full when you record longer...

Is there any evidence of such a thing? Gigabytes more of cache? This would be like discovering dark matter in our phones.

Yeah, it's just a guess, because I know that there was a Sony smartphone also with a cache built into the camera, and our phone uses a Sony camera. And these cache is very small, like cpu caches < 10mb
There is literally zero benefit of having a sub 10MB cache shooting 4K 60fps video.
It's solely heat-related.
It is because of heat, as others have said on this thread.
Most every other Android phone capable of recording 4k 60fps has similar limitations
