One of the biggest features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is undoubtedly the camera. It features a high-resolution camera with a 16 MP sensor. Even though mega pixels aren’t everything, the Note 4 camera can record 4K UHD videos.
Videos recorded in 4K UHD resolution are a lot sharper and better than videos recorded in 1080p Full HD resolution. One downside of recording videos in 4K is file size.
A 4K video takes more space than a 1080p video and that is not a good thing, especially if you have the 16 GB variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Because videos take so much memory, Samsung has limited recording time to only 5 minutes. So you cannot record more than 5 minutes of 4K videos.
If you want to record 4K UHD videos for longer than 5 minutes, don’t worry. You can easily extend recording limit to 20 minutes or even more using the Note 4 camera mod.
The Note 4 camera mode increases recording limit from 5 to 20 minutes and also improves video quality by increasing bit rate. Here’s how to install the mod in order to remove the 5 minute recording limit.
- Download the mod here. You can download the Exynos or Snapdragon variant based on what chipset your phone has.
- Install custom recovery on your Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (tutorial).
- Boot into Recovery and flash the Note 4 camera mod.
