I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge with 10GB of space free. I'd like record roughly 1hr continuously using the standard camera app.
Do you see any problem with this?

Depends very much on the camera app used and which codec/compression that is using, no general answer on that. And yes, often there's a time limit so recording automatically stops at e.g. 30min – which some apps work around by creating multiple files for the same recording (imitating a stop/record).– Izzy ♦Apr 27, 2017 at 7:41

Record one minute and check how much storage it takes and duplicate by 60

Are there any other limitations? Google is reporting sporadically that there are artificial time limits. I don't have the time/battery to test these limits (massively disorganised)– CheetahApr 27, 2017 at 5:39

This seems like a good idea but it's not. 1 minute of a dark environment will take up less space than others. It's a good indicator, though, but not perfect. Apr 30, 2017 at 16:08
1hr of 1080p footage shouldn't take up 10GB. the data amount changes based on a few factors such as frame rate and bit rate. 60fps takes up more space than 30fps. higher bit rates also take up more storage space. It could anywhere from a few hundred MB to 2 GB perhaps. It also depends on the storage format the video is saved in. Some formats use different forms of compression, some are more effective than others.

On my smartphone, I have a less than 4 minutes footage which is almost 1Gb. One hour would be more than 15 Gb.– ΆνδραςMar 9, 2019 at 19:16
