Have just recieved my new A51, and after trying for awhile I cannot seem to record higher than 30Fps. Have added link below showing it should reach 120Fps at 1080p. Have tried the Open Camera app and it says these frame rates are not supported??

It's possible that is a mistake, as there is no mention of it in the actual review. It would also seem weird that it would have a 120fps mode, but no 60fps mode.

Can understand that, I guess I took it as 30-120fps. Cant find genuine samsung spec sheet?
Tje fact that the hardware is capable also frustrates me. I guess it's just a sales tactic from samsung to give extra reasons to buy their flagship models...

Apparently they are making lots of firmware changes as people find odd behaviour.

Where did you pick up yours from?

Prices have stagnated since the lockdown

I really hope they do, the hardware is easily capable so just stupid that they limit it..

You generally can't access full functionality of the camera on Samsung hardware using third party apps. Check the native camera app out by taking some video and check the details afterward.
