I don't know if we need 8k video, but if it's going to be a feature it sure feels like we should have sd cards. This write-up is talking about 33GB/hr. Given the dinky ass 128GB that seems to be common, and given that the base install is often 30GB+, like, yeah, we need more storage. https://www.androidauthority.com/pixel-9-8k-more-storage-346...
MicroSD cards are fantastic & I'd want them anywhere. But man it's just so preposterous that they have so drastically outpaced phone's builtin storage. 0.5 or 1TB are basically unheard of on phones, but there's plenty of whole SSDs with far more components and cost selling for $50 or less. It's wild. What a supply side economics setup, so many companies all keeping the whole mobile market back, deliberately.
I think Apple's aware of the storage limitations with 8k recording and so they won't bother to ship it in software for another couple years.
The utility gap between 4k and 8k video is tiny. I was eager to move from a giant 1080p TV to a giant 4k TV, but I have no desire to buy 8k.
Neither 8k TVs nor 8k monitors have occupied a meaningful amount of the market, and there appears to be not much demand for them. On the gaming side, the latest graphics cards still can't max out settings on most AAA games at 4k/60fps.
