Thank you Tim for allowing me to fly my test phone on your rocket.

Now that I have had time to review the data, it looks OK, but not fantastic like I thought it would be.
Unlike the Pixel 4A and Nexus 5X, the phone only has 8Gs per access (which I knew, but I was after the quality video).
The video is blurry, which it shouldn't be - I will play programmatically with the settings and see if there is something I can change to adjust. In addition, the phone is only allowing me to shoot 4K @ 30 FPS. Developers have complained that it is troublesome getting 60FPS to work, I've programmed a few different ways and have yet to figure out the combo. It doesn't use the "standard" android way of doing it, nor through android development does it say it supports 4K at 60FPS. That said, I can go into the camera app and shoot video 4K at 60FPS so I know it can work, and work very well.
Right now, at least for rocket launches, the Pixel 4A and Nexus 5X reign supreme. I'll keep you posted if I figure out the right combo of settings for the Samsung Galaxy 10e to give it another go.
The good news is that the phone does not ignore my app and go into deep sleep when I my app says not to. All telemetry was gathered the entire time as well as video. The IR app is officially proven compatible with the phone. My guess is the entire Samsung Galaxy lineup is compatible.
