FYI, this records 4k video. I'm sure the Note does just as well. *wink*

Whats your point? The majority of that device is to support the lens capturing enough light to get better quality input. 4k on phone != 4k broadcast quality.

Its megapixels all over again - sure its a headline spec, but if the light capture is not enough (thus, noise from ISO) or the compression is too high, 4k can look crappier than decent HD.

I'm not fully understanding your post. My post about a real 4k camera was me being silly. Didn't have a point to it really, just find the phone wars silly is all and enjoy mocking it.
