The short answer is yes, the Galaxy S25 Ultra shoots 8K video, and it does it better than most phones out there.

What makes it special is that you can shoot 8K from three different cameras: the main camera, the ultrawide, and the 5x telephoto. Most phones that offer 8K only do it on the main sensor. Samsung upgraded the ultrawide to 50 megapixels this year, which is what makes 8K possible on that lens too.

In terms of frame rates, you've got 24fps and 30fps options at 8K. The 24fps option is nice if you're going for that cinematic film look. For everyday stuff, 30fps is probably what you'll use. Drop down to 4K and you can go all the way up to 120fps, which is great for slow motion that still looks sharp.

The video stabilization is genuinely impressive. Test footage shows walking shots that look almost gimbal-stabilized. Even the 5x telephoto, which you'd expect to be shaky, stays remarkably steady when you're pointing it in one direction.

There are also some cool pro features if you're into that stuff. Galaxy Log gives you a flat color profile for proper color grading in post. Night Video mode does a surprisingly good job in low light. And Audio Eraser uses AI to let you isolate and reduce different sounds in your video.

A few things to keep in mind: you can't switch cameras mid-recording when shooting 8K, and the phone will warm up if you shoot for extended periods. Also, 8K files are massive, so make sure you have storage to spare.
