Default Zoom H4n to Android phone for external mic

My Samsung s8 plus takes great video, but the internal mics are terrible. I bought a Blue Snowball mic and it works great with the phones video provided I am 6 inches away from the mic . I like recording some solo guitar/singing for friends on Facebook and YouTube.
Then I remembered I had a zoom H4n and decided to try that as my external mic instead. Well it works fine and works well at a distance, But, I don't sound the same. Hard to describe. Almost sounds like I inhaled a tiny bit of helium?
Anyone have any suggestions?

I figured it out. I changed the zoom recording format from 44.1 khz to 48 and now I sound normal.
