I never had used my phones camera for video purposes but had to use it for some work recently. I was surprised that the phone got soo hot within minutes and literally it automatically shut down the camera as it got overheat. I tried a few other times with same results i.e. overheat within 8minutes. Is there anything that can be done about it, wasn't expecting this from this phone and now strongly thinking not to upgrade to S22 due to this very reason

From personal experience, on my previous s10+ when I recorded 4k 60fps, it did get hot but never shut down. I've now got a s22 ultra now, and my mother has a s22 and the heating is mostly solved, never had the phone go above 40c~.

4K 30fps should be your cameras sweetspot in my opinion @MI9153. You did quite well to get 8 minutes recording at 8K 24fps on your S21 Ultra without your phone melting!.. 🤣🤣🥵🥵.. 👍👍
Yeah at 8K you are talking heavy processing power needed. If you're in a hot climate, this will worsen it. Try dropping to 1080p, or if resolution is needed, drop to 4K Can't imagine 8K would be needed for most tasks. The S22 Ultra is definitely very good at not overheating. Well mine is anyway
The phone will heat up when using power intensive applications and downloading large files, shooting 8k video for extensive period will stretch it. in this article user had warning not to record in 8k over 5 minutes. May be advisable to turn off any connections not needed when shooting 8k. https://www.digitalcitizen.life/recording-videos-smartphones/ As already mentioned lower resolution should be fine in most instances.
