PRO-GRADE VIDEO
The video revolution begins here
Goes far beyond cinema resolution
Scene of a man dancing in front of an architectural structure, shot with 8K on Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. A still image is taken from the video using 8K Video Snap. The image shows how crisp a frame from 8K Video looks as a photo.
Take epic portraits right out of 8K Video
8K Video is the highest resolution video available in a smartphone — that's four times as many pixels as 4K. Record in 8K 24fps and get crisp footage that looks better than the cinema, then upload and watch right on YouTube.
And with 8K Video Snap, you can pull epic high-resolution photos straight from 8K Video.4 So you don't have to choose between shooting video or stills.
