Remember the short-term thinking people who said "120fps video recording is unnecessary because screens only have 60 Hz"?

Now that 120 Hz screens are arriving even at entry-level smartphones, those 720p120fps videos recorded on the S6 can be enjoyed as real-time.

Too bad new Samsung phones do not encode slow-motion videos in real-time anymore. Samsung introduced real-time encoding on the S6 (file has same frame rate as was actually recorded), but later changed back to the inferior method of slowing down the video file, which is both bad for video editing and does not allow playback in real-time with sound.

While the S6 had many disappointing feature removals, at least real-time encoding of 120fps videos + audio track was a welcome improvement.

    Anonymous, 17 Jun 2024Is this phone worth $7 in 2024? It's got a high res screen for VR If you are taking it as a collection, then yes, but if you are gonna use it for main device, well i suggest you to get Samsung Galaxy S9.

While everyone had a iphone 5/6 or my friends having a S5. Those were the days. Back when Samsung had a clear dominance when it came to features and innovation.

                    I still technically have this, it's just in a phone coma. I dropped it once and the screen refused to display, and the noti light was just flashing blue. 4 years later and I raged with it once and the back glass fell clean off.. maybe I could try disconnecting the battery and try getting it to work..

                      I bought it in May 2015. I still use it every single day! Everything is still original, including the battery. This phone fits in my pocket so easily. And operating it with one hand is super easy.
                      But now it is time for me to move to a new phone. I am thinking of getting S24. I can't find any other decently small power houses. The new design of small Samsung phones is just bad.

                                                            I just know that Amoled and 4K recording already exist on Samsung phone in 2015.

The essentials that Samsung meant was a phone first-and-foremost, with everything else being complimentary. And in 2015 microSD and removal batteries were seen as just that - complimentary and not a critical feature of a good phone. That announcement you refer to was basically Samsung resetting its strategy - the reason why S6 was referred to as Project Zero in 2015.z

                                                                  And to everyone still asking about where Oreo is, go do your homework and stop asking the same question.
