Z2 Xperia, Galaxy Note 3 and S5 are unable to shoot more … – Phonandroid

different manufacturers of the smartphone market are engaged in a race the most demanding specifications. LG, for example, was the first major vendor to offer a 2k screen on the new G3 LG. Previously, different terminals offered include shoot videos in 4k but the duration of these would be limited . Explanations

Several terminals, including the Samsung Galaxy S5 (see our detailed test Samsung Galaxy S5), the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 or the Sony Xperia Z2, used to shoot in 4K. However, “shoot in 4K” does not seem to be an adequate expression to the extent they are not able to record more than 5 minutes of images .

So Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and S5 are limited to 5 minutes video 4k their photo application, the Xperia Z2 (find our full review of the Sony Xperia Z2) has no apparent limit and yet, it is not capable of exceeding (about) 5 minutes of recording. The reason for this is actually quite simple.

This time limit can be explained by the temperature of the components. Indeed, the camera application automatically would end the recording to avoid overheating , overheating intervene from … outstanding … 5 minutes at room temperature (about 25 ° C).

If you try to chain directly after a new video, the Xperia Z2 record hardly few minutes of video. According to our colleagues PhoneArena, the temperature increase would be real since the rear of the terminal reach up to 44 ° C while recording a video 4k (S5 and Galaxy Note 3 remain more “fresh” through the material of the shell).

To support their argument, our colleagues have decided to make a video in 4K by placing the terminal near the air conditioning. With this source of fresh outdoor air, the Xperia Z2 recorded without problem 10mn Video . Then comes the question of memory, this kind of video occupying a lot of space.

The Sony Xperia Z2 is therefore concerned only good temperature to shoot in 4K. That remains to be seen in perspective since most of mobile users usually recorded short videos with their smartphone. If you ever wondered where that time limit had, you now have the answer is simply to avoid overheating of your precious .

We would like to know your opinion . Do you find it normal that the flagship could film only 5mn in 4k? Sign up videos longer than 5 minutes
