Slow Motion

High-frame-rate video (120/240/960 FPS) played back slowly for dramatic effect.

Also known as: Slow-Mo High Frame Rate Video

Full Definition & Technical Explanation

Slow motion records at high frame rates and replays at normal speed. Phones support e.g., 240 FPS (1080p); some reach 960 FPS at lower resolution.

See Slow motion in camera specs. Higher FPS = smoother slow-mo but shorter duration and lower resolution.
