    There is no point to a small handheld device being in 4k.

    2k /maybe/.

    You would have to have literally super human vision to tell the difference between a 2k and 4k display the size of a phone unless you held it something like 2 or 3 inches from your face.

    At which distance most people cannot focus their eyes anyway.

      It’s for video recording, not the screen resolution. I’d say for archival reasons it’s perfectly okay to record in 4k even if your phone display is not in 4k. Sometimes I like to view my recorded videos on my 4k TV to be watched with friends and family.

        I have my daughter’s first steps in 4K. That was roughly seven years ago. Shot from an old LG. That little clip is amazing, and it looks so much better than what 1080p at the time would have looked like.

        I use so much storage space on my family 1080p videos that I can’t imagine shooting much of it in 4k. How do you cope with that storage need?
