What video quality do I need on a phone?

Can I use 1080p or do I need a 4k video quality phone to record at 120fps? I see the Google pixel 9a has 120fps at 1080p and 60fps at 4k. Will this be enough to get good video quality of my playing?

I hate technology choice.

Hi Mark!

The resolution doesn’t matter, only the frame rate. I was not aware that phones can now do 4K in slow motion. If they can, they won’t hurt, but it’s not strictly necessary unless you’re a dermatologist. You can see anything you need to see with 720p or better. High speed and good lighting matters the most.
