I am using 3-years old Nexus 5 smartphone with Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) overclocked @ 2.65GHz
and Snap Camera HDR 8.0.4 app from Google Play Store to unlocked 4K resolution.
It isn't native 4K, the native 3264 resolution was upscaled to 3840 at 48Mbps, but the quality is still pretty good.
Please note that there is problems with stuttering but Nexus 5 comes with native support for 1080p video only!

Free Music: Zhu - Faded (T-Mass & Arman Cekin Remix): https://soundcloud.com/t-mass/zhu-faded-t-mass-and-arman-cekin-remix
Some RAW images uploaded to Facebook (lower quality): Picture 1, Picture 2, Picture 3, Picture 4, Picture 5

I hope you will enjoy it :)

Excellent quality.
With 4k video the Nexus 5 throttles quite a bit which results in jittery video after about a minute or two.
Camera2 API (lollipop DP2 or DP3 onwards?) paved the way for such applications allowing devs to access the camera HW at a very low level.
