With the advent of Samsung Samsung S20 and older brothers, in their full review you can find below, a new debate has arisen in the world of technology. No, we're not talking about whether a user needs 12 GB of RAM to move apps and games from the Play Store, but from an 8K video recording.
As has happened with other features like 5G, don't doubt that 8K will be a new claim with a large number of products selling its new facilities. Samsung has always been a priority but throughout the year 2020 and especially in 2021, we'll see how other companies mimic it, all the same with the increase in the price of their mobile devices. So, then, Is 8K required for mobile today? Frankly, we don't believe it.
3 reasons not to bet on 8K … yet
Storage
Let's assume that the Samsung Galaxy S20 has at least 128 storage memory. Obviously more than those ports coming to market with 16 or 32 GB of memory, but frankly, is no longer a terminal that allows for 8K video recording
And yes, this can be solved using MicroSD cards or cloud services like Dropbox or Google Drive, but we truly believe that a patient with 64 GB or 128 GB does not have enough memory to store this type of video. Will we have to wait for 256 GB as standard at the end? Possibly.
Loss of jobs
Yes, the 8K recording is excellent but unfortunately some of the fun features are lost there. If there are multiple 4K audio terminals such as autofocus or video compression, Who do you think will work best for recording 8K?
Alternatively, the Samsung Galaxy S20 only lets you record 8K videos at 24 fps, less than 30 fps "normal" and less than 60 fps allowing even 4K. The question we have to ask ourselves is, do we want to record videos at 8K and 24 fps or better at 4K and 60 fps? For us the answer is clear
4K is not even a standard
In an age where even 4K is not common, talking about 8K makes no sense. It is true that technology must constantly be improving, but we understand that before developing new recording capabilities, we must improve those we already have. In addition to fixing all the errors from 4K recording and which we mentioned in the previous section, We should also remember that there are many devices that are not compatible today.
Not just many phones but also televisions. Of course, there are many and many TVs to come out of the market with this technology, such as the Xiaomi television we reviewed at Andro4all and which left a really good taste, though most have only 1080p resolution or 2k. Why shoot 8K videos when we can't enjoy them?
In short, 8K still has a long way to go. We are obviously not opposed to the growing number of edges with this feature, not to mention that we have previously said that technology should emerge, but that they are not selling to us as a priority. 8K is not that important today anymore much less should be a top priority when buying a new Android terminal.
