The video recording capabilities of the Sharp Aquos R9 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra showcase significant differences, particularly in resolution, features, and overall flexibility.
Video Resolution and Frame Rates
- Galaxy S25 Ultra: This device supports 8K video recording at 30 frames per second (fps) using its primary (200MP), ultrawide (50MP), and telephoto (50MP) cameras. However, users cannot switch between these cameras while recording in 8K[1][3]. Additionally, it captures videos in 10-bit HDR by default, which enhances color richness and dynamic range[3].- Aquos R9 Pro: In contrast, the Aquos R9 Pro records video at a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K) at 30 fps. It does not support 8K recording[4][6]. The camera system includes three 50.3MP sensors, but the video capabilities are limited compared to the S25 Ultra.
Advanced Features
- Galaxy S25 Ultra: Offers a LOG video recording mode, which is preferred by professionals for its flat color profile that allows for extensive post-production editing. This feature is available across the entire S25 series, making it accessible even to users of the base models[2][3].- Aquos R9 Pro: The device supports Dolby Vision, enhancing video quality with vivid colors and contrasts. Additionally, it features a dedicated shutter button for a more tactile photography experience, which can also aid in video recording[6][8].
Camera System and Performance
- Galaxy S25 Ultra: The camera system is enhanced by Samsung's ProVisual Engine, which employs AI for improved image processing, resulting in lower noise and higher detail in videos. The advanced ISP also contributes to better low-light performance during video capture[1][3].- Aquos R9 Pro: While it boasts impressive hardware with large sensors for low-light performance and optical zoom capabilities (2.8x optical zoom and up to 20x hybrid zoom), its overall video recording features are not as advanced as those of the Galaxy S25 Ultra[6][10].
In summary, the Galaxy S25 Ultra excels in video recording capabilities with its support for 8K resolution, advanced editing features like LOG mode, and superior image processing technology. The Aquos R9 Pro, while offering solid performance with Dolby Vision support and a dedicated shutter button, falls short in terms of maximum resolution and flexibility during video capture.
