[Solved] Welp, my note8 / note 8 IS waterproof! But, 4k upload is only 1080p?

I admit - it took me a while to do it but I finally took the plunge.............. WITH MY PHONE, HA!

It works pretty decent under water. Use the stylus to touch the screen it is useless once under, but back up it is fine. Flash, zoom, it all seems to work great! Recording video with the flash on? Works..

I can think a few real world uses for this. Heck, I might go swimming with my Koi! Behold, enjoy - my pastey creamy pale wet skin!

HD / 1080p

4k / 2160p​

Weird though, it's a 4k video - only showing 1080 on here? It's been uploaded like 15 hours.

Edit: After several tests, it seems like uploading from desktop is the way to get 4k working. When done processing I'll swap or edit in the video :)
