4 k video recording?

4k recording is on lte not in 3g.is it true?
if 3g version dosnot have 4k recording then ..there will b patch to record 4k records?let me know

Snap Processor - LTE & 4K recording
Octa Processor - More Ram & 4 Cores but no LTE or 4k
It boils down to processors not 3g

Nope, there will never be any patch. Hardware limitation.
BTW, do you have a 4K TV or a monitor? If not, I find it hard to understand why would you need a 4K. If you have a 4K display, then it makes sense for you.

May be he has. May be does not. Who cares? Let technology spread out. Otherwise we would have stuck with 3GP and low bitrate MP4s.
I totally agree 4k content atm really rare but so did 1080p. Did people sat idle and stuck with 3GP recording in the fear that OMG! 1080p is so huge!!!!!!! I would not buy a 64 GB card for that.
4k is a nice addition. And to your other point-before 1080p displays came out all the 720p display like S3 were able to shoot and playback 1080p. Did anyone question why 1080p on a 720p native display? No.
I have seen two 4k samples and yes I am excited. Specially from the phonearena sample the moving tree leaves looked outstandingly crisp. And if I am the one out of 10 million people who cares about 4k it wont stuck with me forever. With more devices gonna have 4k native [already started to] display and storage like 128 GB 4k will become regular thing. And to be regular stuff like 1080ps or 720ps initiatives like this will naturally occur.
People just cannot keep other people discouraged from a nice tech evolution. If they would succeed people would never move beyond 2 GB memory card and low bitrate 3GP or .rmv video contents and shoot straight out the people who consume ogg music files.

4k video was just a gimmick I feel. If you dont have device to play 4k content like pc or Tv, there is no point of 4k. Its good that Asians won't get it

i have seen the video comparison b/w 4k n 1080p..too much difference..thats y i like 4k..too much detailed in 4k
have a look

Costco had a 4k TV playing the same movie as a 1080p TV and I could genuinely tell the difference. But unfortunately my wallet is a bit too small to early adopt the 4k TV's right now

I'm as much for future-proofing as anyone else here. But where is 4K content coming from and how's it being delivered? Content upscaled to 4K (EG: HD TV/Movies originally captured in 720/1080P) aren't going to look any better than they would on a 720P/1080P TV or monitor. They’ll most likely look worse. 4K content is huge. All the ISPs are already *****ing about what video's doing to their networks. How long did it take for Blu-Ray to become a standard? And the only Blu-Ray that looked good was what was natively captured in HD not the upscaled crap like 50's I love Lucy episodes. So for 4K to become meaningful content producers need to start capturing in it. That 'aint gonna be happening fast as the only ones that benefit from 4K as it stands are the TV manufacturers and they aren't significant enough in the food chain to drive standards forward. So we'll probably all be on the Note 4 (and more likely the N5) when UHD (4K) gains any real traction. Because traction requires native content.
So would I want 4K in the N3? Sure, who wouldn't want extra "cool" stuff for the same price. Would I ever use it to record anything? No, the files are huge and would have to be downscaled to my 1080P TVs, monitors, and devices making natively captured 1080P look better anyway. Am I going to run out and buy 4K playback devices? Absolutely. As soon as at least 1/3 of the content I playback is available in UHD.
An interesting article...

Wow 4k looks really nice. Phonearena posted the sample 4k video but it was useless because youtube converts it to 1080p. The native 1080p video that they posted looked better than 4k on youtube. I can't wait to use 4k. It might not be every time I go to record something but if I love being able to have that option.

It amazes me how short-sighted some people are to say stuff like that. You and Clariion, 2 posts above you, as well as many other people in different threads...Videos, recorded with your phone's camcorder are memories for life. Do you record something only to watch it right away and be done with, never watch it again? 20 years ago, when there was only VHS available - if someone offered you a device, which can record video in DVD quality, would you say "no" to that, because your current TV can only play VHS resolution?...
You're saying "I don't want to record much better quality video just because right now I don't have a TV, that can play it." . In a few years 4k TVs will be a standard in every house, and you'll be watching your wedding's video in sh*itty 1080p, because you chose not to get 4k camcorder just because you didnt have a playback device for it at the time...

I can't believe some of you don't see the benefits of 4k even if you plan on never getting a 4k TV. While recording in 4k, just your ability to digitally zoom while maintaining excellent quality should be worth the feature being present. It's basically lossless digital zoom (up to a point of course.) I can't imagine anyone not wanting that.

[Q] Bad quality 4K recording.

I bought myself a Note 3(N9005, 32GB version) few days ago, but since the beginning I have had a problem with recording 4K videos. To be exact, it doesn't record at the promised 45-50 mbps bitrate, instead it records at 10 mbps or even lesser bitrate. So my question would be, how can I fix that?
All the other featured modes are working flawlessly. Would really appreciate some help. The phone is not rooted or customized in any way.
Thanks in advance!

Did you set it up for 4k in settings

Yes, under the video resolution section I chose 3840x2160. Is there supposed to be some more options to improve the quality?

Do you have a 4k TV if not you won't see any difference between 4k then 1080p

^ um WRONG. And that has nothing to do with this topic

Downscaled 4K looks much better though, so there is a huge benefit in making 4K videos. Anyway it seems like those crappy units of Note 3-s made their way only to Estonia, since me and shizny are both from Estonia and there is no more information about that problem on the internet, atleast I couldn't find absolutely nothing on such weirdness.

Actually jaythenut is correct. Though the Note 3 is capable of recording video for playback on a 4K TV your device having only a 1080p display is not going to appear different at all.
The Note 3 plays back recorded 4K Video in 1080p on both the phone and any other playable media device as it can't process anything higher than that.
Your better off recording videos in 1080p at the now 60f/s.

no one is right.
quality of recorded videos playback is not the same as seen on youtube, by other peeps recordings.
check the quality, bitrate of 4K recorded video on my device is 6000kbps, 1080p is 15000kbps.
If you think a little logically then how come 4K recorded video is worse than 1080p? Even the playback quality is worse, not only on the device itself, but also on monitor.
Have you ever watched 1080p video on 720 display? Any difference? Video is crispy and detailed, Now how about 520p video on 1080p screen?
Now this is the same as my 4K recording on 1080p screen.
Either the device is faulty and cannot record/play 4K videos or sample videos made on youtube are actually 1080p.

This is really strange. I'm from Estonia as well and I'm facing the exact same problems. All my 4K videos look like 240p ones or even worse.
(Can't post the full YT links because of my postcount, but here's the v-codes)
watch?v=4iEt7lGGPqk- 4K sample
watch?v=4fryaJ6cfw4 - 1080p sample for comparison
I can't find anything on the internet regarding this subject, does anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? I sent an email to Samsung support about this as well.

the same problem here (lithuania), firmware N9005XXUBMJ1

Wait for while there will b some patches to fix it.all devices havr same problem

Same here. 4K recording quality (and, of course, bitrate) is awful. Videos looks like 240p.
Lithuania, baseband N9005XXUBMJ1.
EDIT: Ok, it seems that this is common issue with particular batch of this model (maybe it only affects the Baltic countries), and service centers are aware of this problem.
Left my phone for warranty repairs...

so it looks like well have to wait for a fix for this to work properly is that correct

Maybe this helps, but you need to be rooted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioD9DcKXNck&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Did the service center tell you what was the problem?

[Q]

I was wondering if there was some sort of video upscaling present when videos of a lower resolution like 720p and 1080p videos are played. I mean, there's not much point in a QHD screen if even 1080p videos are pixelated, right?

What do you mean? They have to be upscaled, how else would you want to watch them? In a small window? 720p should upscale without any quality loss (1 pixel becomes 4 pixels), 1080p should look great too but with a slight, probably not noticable at such small screen size quality loss.

1080p videos look great on my Tab S 8.4 i don't see any reason why they wouldn't on the Note 4.

Sorry. Yeah, I mean lossless upscaling.

Lossless...?
Relative to the 1080p, sure, it's lossless as you don't lose any resolution from 1080p. Relative to 1440p? Well, in that case of course you lose resolution if the source video isn't 1440p.
Sorry, I'm not too sure what you mean by lossless.

Looks like I've been doing a shoddy job of explaining myself. Sorry about that.
I know that this may sound completely retarded, but what I meant to ask was this : Does the Note 4 have the same type of upscaling that is present in 4K televisions?

Best Videos to show off your N6 Screen

What videos do you guys/gals keep on your Nexus 6 to help show off how pretty the screen is?
Not necessarily movies or anything like that... Just high quality videos or clips to take advantage of the Quad HD screen...
Share them here!

THIS!! I've been wondering the same thing since I got mine yesterday! I downloaded a 1080p version of Guardians of the Galaxy and it looks good, not great. I've seen a couple YouTube videos in 2K but not enough to really show the screen off.

Used this one last night
This one has great visuals as well as sound. Great for testing the stereo speakers!
Here is a classic screen sample video
Optionally you can download a full quality video.

Is it true that YouTube only plays at 1080p on mobile?

YouTube 5.18.5 supports 2k, but only direct download yet:

YouTube Videos

Generally videos on the phone look amazing, but I'm wondering why youtube videos, specifically videos with lots of darks look super blotchy and pixelated. Case in point, the trailers on YouTube for GOT and Frozen 2 are almost unwatchable they're so bad. Is there a setting or something I'm missing? Anyone else seeing this?
I have data saver from att off and I'm watching on wifi with 100mbps.
Edit: Watched the GOT trailer from a different source and it was flawless. I guess it was just low quality source before.

I think it's the source of the video. I just wanted a 4k video on YouTube and it was awesome.

I was thinking that too. I also watched a 4k video on YouTube and was amazing. You would think the studios that release these trailers would put it the highest quality possible. Oh well.
