A 16K (7680p) video frame is around 133 megapixels at 16:9 aspect ratio.
Mobile phone image sensors have already surpassed 100 megapixels, therefore that barrier might be passed within the next few years.
The potential for 12K (6480p) is even already there (74 megapixels).
There was already a Nokia 808 PureView in 2011 and the Lumia 1020 from 2013 with ravenous resolutions for their time (41 megapixels), more than the 33 megapixels needed for 8K (although they had 4:3 sensor aspect ratios, as far as I can recall). But at that time, the processing power and image sensor speeds were not nearly sufficient for 8K video.
The potential for 1440p@120fps, 5K and 6K video was already there in the mid-2010s, but vendors sadly decided to skip it.
