Obviously the picture is very compressed and looks better in motion. Taken from this Galaxy S5 video with a 4K option.

The video still looks great but my screen is only 1080p so I cannot see all of the detail. This still picture which you can pan will be able to see what quality is achievable.

Just need to get a 4K display now. I know the picture is big but its to show the detail as an example.

** Please resize image to no more than 1280px wide before replacing image tags - thanks **

As much as that does look quite good I'd like to see more interest in higher temporal resolution, rather than higher spatial resolution. 4k is irrelevant on our 1080p screens but 60+fps videos can look great on current tech.

My Lg G2 can take 1080p@60fps videos but will only do so in very good lighting conditions, anything indoors and it lowers right down to 30fps. And Youtube, even, can't playback 60fps videos. I've heard of almost nothing in terms of TV/film moving to higher framerates.

Give me higher FPS, please!
 
Yep 60FPS and OIS would be perfect.

4K is great and all but it will take another few years before it becomes mainstream.

I'm happy with 1080p60 OIS'd.
 
Whats the point in 4k really on phones? Especially when batteries are still pretty turd. We don't even have it in mainstream 4K TVs.
 
There's a lot of pixels in that image, but very little detail. 4K is important right now if you're wanting something that looks good on a spec sheet, but that is far from a high quality image.

A still image from a compressed video will never look good. The compression builds up the image from the many different frames, so requires the video to get the full effect.

Very little detail, have you seen the cars?

he does say it's compressed from YT.

At full bitrate it would look very decent on a 4K Display.
