Samsung abandoned 100x “space” zoom in Samsung Galaxy Note20
There are no details about what will be the maximum digital zoom in the new smartphones. It is worth noting that adding 100x zoom to the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra was exclusively a marketing zoom. At this approximation, the photos are blurry. Many believe that modern smartphones have enough 50x digital zoom, it is better to focus on improving the magnification of the optical zoom.
At the same time, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra had quite a few problems with the quality of photos on the main 108-megapixel camera, as well as with the operation of the autofocus system, which could not be eliminated with the help of updates.
This insider has repeatedly been the first to provide reliable information about upcoming Samsung smartphones. A few days ago, he predicted the announcement of the Samsung ISOCELL GN1 image sensor, which was introduced yesterday morning. In addition, it was Ice Universe who was the first to use the name waterfall screens, like the Vivo Nex 3, to the extremely curved displays of new smartphones. Moreover, he predicted the appearance on the market of Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha with a girdle screen.
