This is not about playing on TV. In my opinion, the lack of 25/50 fps in Samsung is a very serious problem. Especially since the main competitor, Apple, offers such options in the menu.
Did you know that about 75% of the world's population/countries use the 25/50 fps broadcast standard? This may be surprising at first glance, but just look at the map. Just check where the 50 Hz power grid is. Just check where the PAL and SECAM standards used to be (except for very strange variations such as PAL-M used in Brazil, 60 Hz). The frame rate was transferred to the digital world without changes due to the need to maintain compatibility.
The main territories using the 60 Hz standard are the USA and Japan. And Korea. And after that it is clear why equipment from these countries, incompatible with the local video system, is simply flooding us! Other standards are not known in the USA and Korea, and someone once said that most IT specialists have no idea about video standards. That's why they release such *****.
This is the sad picture. In the past, you could freely exchange recordings with your colleagues, edit them, even insert fragments from TV broadcasts as quotes, fair use of course, and there was absolutely no problem with frame rates. And now it's a nightmare. For example, in Europe, professional equipment records in 25/50 fps, this is the industry standard, these are the EBU recommendations, these are the requirements (shutter compatibility) so that the video does not show interference from 50Hz lights. This standard is used in the industry, also for filming the biggest global events. The last Olympics in Paris were broadcast natively in 50 fps. That's it, this is the industry standard.
And smartphones have completely broken this standard! You exchange recordings with colleagues, you get a trash bin of mixed 24/25/30/50/60 fps. It's a real nightmare for professional video editors.
Currently, Samsung is not suitable for professional work due to the lack of 25/50 fps. This is ridiculous, such options are almost everywhere, even in surveillance cameras and drones. But in flagship smartphones of such a large manufacturer - no. Samsung, a total shame. Users have been reporting this problem for years and Samsung does nothing.
To make it even funnier - many videos on European Samsung profiles on YouTube are made in... 25 fps. Not 24, not 30. Exactly 25, the cinema-like standard in Europe. And Samsung smartphones still can't record video in 25 fps.
Samsung, please ask one of your engineers to respond to this thread.
