The transcode logs look fine. Transcoding plenty fast.
From what I can find for your phone, the hardware decoders on it are lacking. 1080P30 for HEVC. Same with H264. 1080P30. So 4K is going to need to be transcoded. What is likely happening is that the phone is not accurately reporting its capabilities and isn't triggering a transcode when it should be.
But the Android app has settings to set the maximum allowed resolution.
Settings > Playback > under the Video Quality section check "Limit maximum supported video resolution" and set the drop down above it to 1080P.
If your friends and family have more capable phones, this won't be a concern.
