Is the recording time of 4K video (30 fps) limited on the Galaxy S23 FE?
EDIT:
The answer (tl;dr;) for the question based on the replies I got:
The recording time of 4K video is *not* time limited in this phone.

Since there are modes like 4k 60 fps and 8k 24 fps, I would like to know if this limitation applies to 4k 30 fps mode?

Yes, of course, if the space runs out, the recording is interrupted, but is the time limited by Samsung's own camera application, e.g. due to possible overheating?

@Ropo: Yes, the recording limits are put in place by the Camera app to prevent overheating, and to prevent any storage related issues (as high resolutions and framerates naturally result in larger file sizes).

Thanks for the reply.
So, do you mean there IS a time limit for 4k 30 fps video in Samsung Galaxy S23 FE ?
Then how about FullHD (2k) 30 fps ?
For some reason this question is very hard to find an answer to, so if anyone is reading this comment and owns the phone, could you please help me out with this.

@Ropo: There is a time limit for videos recorded at 4K 30fps, however I am unable to verify exactly what this is based on the information that is available to me. I will pass this to our product specialists to see if they're able to shed further light on the matter, and get back to you as soon as I know more.

Thank you. I really appreciate your help.
On my current 7 years old phone I've been using the OpenCamera app to get around this limitation, and it's worked pretty well. But it looks like I'm doomed to continue using OC over default apps in the future because they are still doing these limitations.

@Ropo: I have spoken with our Product Specialists, and they have confirmed that limits to recording at 4K@30fps will be dependent on your remaining internal storage capacity. As an example, if you don't have a lot of storage left, then a count down timer will appear when you start the recording, informing you of the limit. If you have plenty of remaining storage, then you won't see a countdown timer, although one may appear if you approach your storage limit. This is applicable to all resolutions/framerates, except 8K recordings, which are capped at 10 minutes.
