PRO-GRADE VIDEO

The video revolution begins here
8K
Goes far beyond cinema resolution

Scene of a man dancing in front of an architectural structure, shot with 8K on Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. A still image is taken from the video using 8K Video Snap. The image shows how crisp a frame from 8K video looks as a photo.

Take epic portraits right out of 8K video

8K Video is the highest resolution video available in a smartphone — that's four times as many pixels as 4K. Record in 8K 24fps and get crisp footage that looks better than the cinema, then upload and watch right on YouTube.

And with 8K Video Snap, you can pull epic high-resolution photos straight from 8K video.4 So you don't have to choose between shooting video or stills.

Turn on Super Steady and Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G shoots like an action cam. AI stabilization eliminates the bumps, delivering gimbal-smooth video when you're on the move.

Super Smooth 60fps Video does just what it says — shoots at 60fps for a smooth, detailed view when you play back the moment. Dynamic frame rate in FHD Auto Mode captures smoother video during the day — then switches to 30fps for brighter video in low light.
