4k 10 minute limit... is that still a thing?

[rolexreviews]

Hey guys, coming from a Galaxy S8 there is a 4K time limit no I don't know if that is due to the Heat or the Snapdragon of this phone

Does the S10 have a 4k recording time limit as well?

 

[bbgpsuser]

It probably is due to memory available. Generally high-res video is directly captured to high speed internal memory.

Isn’t it still 5 mins?

Whoops definitely could've been 5 minutes my bad. But still I am just hoping there is no limit on the S10

Guess will see, I had hoped it would be unlimited

The limit is not 5 minutes for regular 4K. That limit was for 4K@60FPS. 4K@30FPS or lower, has a 10 minute limit. Not sure what the scenario for the Exynos powered phones is.

Are you speaking about the new S10 or the older models? just checked on my S8 and it is 4K 10 minutes

There should be no limit at all. The iPhone can go continuous till the battery is dead with the same video and settings. It's definitely not memory. May have to do with the processor or the camera itself heating up.

The ultimate limit is going to be storage size. If the recording just "runs out of storage", the video is useless, it can't be played back. So there's always going to be a limit, even when we get 2TB SD cards.

Physically impossible. Plug the iPhone into a charger and start recording. If it is actually recording video, it will stop at some point. No such thing as infinite memory.

guys like think you guys went a little off topic...

it was a very simple question. does the new phones have the same 10 minute limit for 4K recording as the S8 I currently use.

I could record with my S8 until I run out of memory I think that is common knowledge no phone has infinite memory

 

[NIZMOZ44]

Nope. Like I said, it will run till either storage or battery is depleted. Unlike the Note 9, 10 minutes max. It shouldn't have that limit set.

Processor.

All Android phones will overheat without a limit. It's a thing that has existed since they had the ability to start recording 4k

 

[Super Spartan]

Does it have a 10 min limit also on 1080P?

on the S8 no... I think the S10 won't have that on 1080p either

Storage is memory.

Storage is memory.

You seem to be confused. Storage is where the video is written too. RAM/Memory it is not. Memory is not used for video storage. It is used for running the O/S, and applications in the background/foreground without using the storage to swap (which can slow the device down).

Again, there is still only a 10 minute max recording limit on 4k videos on the Samsungs which no one can answer why.

From Samsung Specifications on S10+:

Galaxy S10+
8GB RAM with 128GB internal storage
8GB RAM with 512GB internal storage (Ceramic version only)
12GB RAM with 1TB internal storage (Ceramic version only)

Storage is memory.

Let me see if I can explain it really fast to break down what is being said.

1) Take an iPhone XS Max + a Galaxy S10. Both 512 GB storage max and both at STOCK configs (no user apps).

2) Start recording at 4K.

3) 10 mins of 4k is not going to fill up a brand new 512 GB of either phone, right? Right.

4) 10 mins later the Samsung stops recording. The iPhone continues until it either fills that 512 GB OR the battery dies. The Samsung hasn't hit either one of those -- it just hit the "10 minute limit" imposed by Samsung and therefore stopped.

Of course this is very niche comparison but that is basically what is being said. I hope this helps to clear up the confusion.

So what I read so far. It doesn't matter if I buy high end SD card. The limit is set to 10min?
