Welcome! Is your phone recording with a variable frame rate or variable bit rate? A lot of software that isn't designed for consumers/phones has trouble dealing with either of those. You can use MediaInfo to check your source files and try transcoding to constant bit rate/constant framerate.

I figured that out Michael. My S10e apparently only records variable frame rates. I am using Handbrake to convert to constant FPS. But I am still finding duplicate frames.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S10e and I record videos in UHD 30 fps. How come there are "Extra" frames?
