Morning walk - Samsung S21 Ultra 5g Camera Test 8k video footage

It's been a few months since I got the Samsung S21 Ultra 5G phone and I really never tested its video capabilities. Today I decided to leave my other cameras at home and head out to the mountain to do my usual morning walk carrying only the Samsung phone with the intention to capture some clips
At first my intention was to record in 4K but it seems that the camera app doesn't allow 24 fps in any resolution except 8K so I went with it and recorded a few Gb of footage.
When recording 8K video it seems that only one of the cameras can be used and some features like 10 bit or focus tracking are not enabled. Still, the colors look good, the stabilization is not that bad and I had no issues focusing while shooting the video.
Will I use it more in the future? yes, definitely
Is it going to substitute my mirrorless cameras? not at all, not for now
Let me know if you want to know anything about the Samsung S21 5G Ultra in the comments

I have s21 ultra and i love it. The problem with 8k recording is its only 24 fps so if anything moves a lot in the recording, it gets blurry and not clear. Still and less motion video looks better not fast pacing one. Another thing is you need a 8k display to enjoy the most of it. 4k to 8k is not a big jump so its difficult to say the difference compare to 1080 to 4k. But i am still a samsung fan. Whatever this phone provide is ultimate.. display, design, features everything

[@RamonLinares]

I agree 100%. We must have in mind that only a few high end mirrorless cameras offer 8K recording but they cost 4x the price! 24 fps is the standard for 'cinematography' video and I am actually more bothered that the standard Android app doesn't offer 4K 24fps. It's difficult for me to mix the footage from the phone and the cameras if they have different frame rate. But anyway, I don't think there is a better phone camera than the S21. Let's see what Apple presents tomorrow!

@@RamonLinares are you using 8k in regular video mode or in pro mode?

[@RamonLinares]

@@doriansorzano I use the normal video mode. I was not aware of a pro video mode until now that I read your comment... And now I see that there are 24fps options for every resultion in that 'pro video' 🙄 Thanks for your comment, now I learned one thing more about the phone!

[@doriansorzano]

@@RamonLinares no problem. I shoot in pro and I forgot it does 8k as well. Lol. Play around with the resolutions though! Some of the lower resolutions have stabilization in pro. If you want you can check out the video I made about the rig I use. Only 3 mins. Lol

Hi Ramon just bumped into ur video since I just purchased this phone and will be delivered tomorrow. Was curious if the video footage was good. And indeed I love it! This is all I need to convince myself I did the right decision!

[@RamonLinares]

Thank you for your comment! You won't be disappointed at all with the Samsung 👍

[@StephanieVDW]

How big is a 1 minute Long clips in 8k?

[@RamonLinares]

I just did a test and a one minute video in 8k 24fps was 580MB. Certainly not small

[@sanjukumari-ry1dg]

Cute video😊😊😊😊😊

[@RamonLinares]

Thank you so much!

[@thunderzrl4931]

Also would cinematci mode be in 4k or only 8k?

[@RamonLinares]

It can be both. I would advise to do 4k only because there is not much benefit of recording in 8k. To get the 24 fos (more cinematic) in 4k you should go to the 'video pro' mode of the camera.

[@Twizzforsberg]

Looks great weird focus is not working. And No gimbal nice movement. Most videos People make me seasick 🤪

[@RamonLinares]

Thank you! I must say that while shooting it looks worse on the screen (a lot of rolling shutter) but when I check the file it looks much better. I am not sure what kind of magic is Samsung using 😀

[@killstylingdzn8910]

How do you do is? I have s21u and he look bad not like that

[@RamonLinares]

I didn't do anything special, I used the default camera app. One thing that is important is to record with a lot of light. In dark situations the image is really bad but this applies to any phone. Thanks for your comment!

[@ridgefrost]

not too long ago this was cutting edge camera quality used in movies and such

[@RamonLinares]

Indeed, not many movies are being shot at 8k!

[@gilvandejesus5118]

Quanto tempo ele consegue filmar em 8k?

[@RamonLinares]

I never reached the limit, but I very rarely record more than one minute clips, the files are very big and I only have 128Gb...

[@cristocentrico461]

@@RamonLinares friend as is that you recording in 4k. I need learn. My celphone s21 recording in 2048x1080

[@gilvandejesus5118]

Esquenta?

[@TheCzx]

Are u using a Color Grading in this Camera Test ?

[@RamonLinares]

Hello Mr Indra Muhammad. I didn't color grade the footage. It is straight out of the camera, quite impressive to be honest.

[@mialiliane9710]

your phone is 256gb? or 512???

[@RamonLinares]

It's the 256gb

[@MichaelWite19]

Is it just me or 8k video is bad quality on my phone bc of low frame rate

[@RamonLinares]

KZbin reduces the quality when watched in a phone. You can try to force higher quality in settings but at the end it's up to youtube to decide...

[@therandompwdguy6849]

I HOPE THEY MAKE 30 FPS..24 FPS IS SO GARBAGE

[@xTHORx07]

8k 24fps😔

[@RamonLinares]

I know...

[@slayerj1009]

8k just looks like full hd. confused with this 8k

[@doriansorzano]

Depends on your device and what resolution you are playing it on.

awesome!
