Two years ago I bought a Samsung A9+. I was shocked to find out it wouldn't play 4k video from my drones, camcorder or underwater camera. But I just found out somewhat of a solution. The Mavic 3 Pro and Osmo 5 pro both create lrf files, which I think are 720p. The A9+ will play them, but first you have to rename the extention to mp4. So I found out that the Android CX File Explorer will do this easily. First you create a new subdirectory called lrf. Then move all the lrf files into it. Then select all the files, and hit rename. It allows you to type in a new extention, mp4. Then hit done and it will batch rename them. Then you can play them with your preferred player.

The .lrf files are the low res version of the high res (4K for example) files, allowing fast file transfer to you mobile device from your drone etc. Renaming the file extension to .mp4, as you mention, will allow playback of these files on devices that can open mp4 files.
You could use these files as proxy files (matching timecode to the high res version) in a video editor such as DaVinci Resolve and then output at full resolution - for devices that can play the high resolution files - 4K TV etc.
