A few days ago, Samsung officially launched its latest Galaxy S21 smartphones to market in three different models - the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus and the top-end Galaxy S21 Ultra, with notable differences in specs and features.
One interesting difference between these devices is the slow motion video feature. While the Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21 Plus support 960fps super slow motion video recording, the Galaxy S21 Ultra, which has an improved camera, does not natively support it.
In a note on the smartphone's spec sheet, the South Korean giant reports that the smaller S21 models can record 960fps, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra uses digital interpolation to improve video from 480fps to 960fps.
Now, in response on Android policy in this regard, Samsung has confirmed that the larger sensor in the phone is responsible for the performance difference. The larger image sensor works at a slower shutter speed when recording video, and instead of the artificially limited smaller phones, the company decided to offer support for 960fps recording and use frame rate conversion technology on the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
