This thing claims it shoots 4K video. That means at 32 GB you can shoot 30 minutes of uncompressed video or around an 60 minutes of compressed video (depending on a lot of factors, including compression ratio, format, etc).

The thing will likely overheat or run out of battery before 60 minutes of 4K video, but still the point stands, something that is featuring 4K video but then limits you to only 32 GB of storage is kind of contradictory.

I feel like this device is saying: "We support 4K video* (*but don't actually try to use it)."

PS - My point about overheat/battery is based on previous phones which claimed they supported 4K video. If you tried to use it the camera would switch off after a few minutes due to overheating, and the battery consumption would go through the roof.
