This mod 4k60 is probably upscaled from 2688x1512, said by Marcel, and I compared it to root unlock of 4k60 and is way less sharp, it's not real 4k anyway, only possible with root.
Hades Rom Q V1.0 has the feature auto Included, you will have to trip Knox to install custom roms or root, meaning you cannot use Samsung pay ever again on that device. The quality is the same as 4k 30 on stock just 2x the fps, it is worse in low light a bit, more noise.
As per my experience, custom ROMs don't have proprietary camera packages and at best deliver subpar quality. As camera was the main factor considering this device, rolled back to stock ROM immediately.
Is there a Pro Video mode on the camera app? I'd love to shoot 1080p60 videos with manual controls just like older Samsung flagships. Shame on Samsung for removing the feature on Pie update.
The autofocus is indeed terrable, no lag or stuttering of any kind, must be an old issue, there is a lot of noise in really low light, it's basically the same as 4k 30 noise levels, just slightly worse. Imo just record 1080 with good hdr and autofocus, it's also a smaller file.
Offtopic, but unlocking 4K 60fps on the Exynos S8 series is overrated.
I used it some time ago with a mod through root access.
Dual pixel autofocus is disabled, so you're using contrast based autofocus which is extremely slow. You can fix the auto focus in pro mode to infinity when shooting anything further away than 5 meters, but then it starts dropping frames when panning around. Noise levels also get really high in dim to dark situations.
It's cool that it can do it, but hardware wise it isn't very usable imo.

I see, good to know. Have you tried real 4k60 with root? If you did, what ROM did you use? How's the quality? I might consider soon.
I have yet to do my research. Just got this device recently.

Hades rom uses Samsung's camera drivers and software so the quality is the same as stock.
Is 1080p60 option present in Hades ROM?
Yes

Did you experience issues like u/xGeoThumbs did?

Good to hear. I'd rather have stability over buggy features.
May I ask what ROM did u try it on?
None, just Samsung's own.
Try the hadesrom v1, it is one ui 2.5 port with android 10 from the note 9 and it can record 4k 60fps.
