Top Android Smartphones for video, with 4K, stabilization and HDR http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/23569/top-android-smartphones-for-video-with-4k-stabilization-and-hdr Sun, 23 Feb 2020 09:43:13 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 23569@/talks/discussions Primary requirements for smartphone for being in this topic

  • 4K 30fps, good bitrate, preferable HEVC mode option
  • 4K 60fps, good bitrate, preferable HEVC mode option
  • OIS on main camera at least
  • EIS, and good one, for all video modes, including 1080p60 and 4Kp60
  • Sensor shift stabilization, rumored to be in new smartphones later in 2020 and early 2021
  • Proper HDR implementation
  • Preferably Dual Pixel AF (analog of Canon approach)

Nice things to have

  • USB-C with at least USB 3.0 speed, preferably with USB 3.2 Gen 2
  • MicroSD U3 card support up to 512GB, it is always better to have support for card even if 128Gb only

Chipsets to look for

  • Snapdragon 845 on most phones lacks EIS in 4K60fps
  • Snapdragon 855 and 855 Plus
  • Snapdragon 865
  • Snapdragon 865 Plus, coming
  • Snapdragon 630, 632, 660, 662, 665, 670, 675 - no 4K 60fps recording, stab usually don't work in 4K at all, EIS in 1080p30 on most phones only
  • Snapdragon 710, 712, 720, 730, 765 - no 4K 60fps recording, stab usually don't work in 4K at all, EIS in 1080p30 on most phones only
  • HiSilicon Kirin 980 - no 4K 60fps recording
  • Exynos 990 - Samsung alternative to Snapdragon 865
