Samsung Galaxy S8 ALIVE!!! by XEETECHCARE:
We will have more information on the Galaxy S8 as the release approaches. It is certainly an exciting phone from a slow motion perspective and makes for the first time our list for competitive slow motion sice the specs have finally reached the top tier competitors and exceeded them with 4k 60fps! -HSC
4k 60fps recording sadly won’t be possible since the Snapdragon 835 will only record up to 30fps in 4k. It does 60fps for video playback.
Hi Tom, we are showing the rumored specs from GSM arena. And they list 4k 60p. You might be right but we’ll wait until final release. Thanks!
