Hey everyone, I noticed this while zooming using the 4K vs the 1080p quality (30fps both, 60fps setting both are the same with 4K being slightly better) the 4K is genuinely worse by a mile than the 1080p when you zoom in, I've provided screenshots and they're respectively 10x (extreme, i know, but a good demonstration) and you can notice the massive differences! i don't know why this is like this.

generally speaking the 4k camera is WAY better in comparison than 1080p when NOT zooming in.

Only the main camera in the middle is capable of recording at 4K. The wide angle and telephoto camera are maxing out at 1080p.

If you zoom in at 4K it will be digital. Only 1080p30 will allow you to use the the two additional lenses.

If you zoom in 10 times while on 1080p30, it will be the telephoto camera with 5x digital zoom. Hence, the better quality.
