Bionic Chip, 30 Sep 2022It doesn't matter if it can zoom 3.5x or not. What mat... moreSorry you're doing it wrong. That's not the way to multiply for zoom. The correct way is:

Zoom=max focal length (telephoto)/focal length of base lens (main camera)

So mate 50 pro's main camera has focal length of 24mm and telephoto is 90mm. So 90/24=3.75 (GSMarena should fix it, it's not 3.5x it's 3.75x).
And for iPhone 14 pro max it's 77/24=3.21 (i think they just round it down to nearest 0.0 or 0.5)
For s22 ultra, 70/23=3.04 and 230/23=10 times optical zoom.

So, you don't multiply the zoom to telephoto focal length as you did there, rather you multiply the zoom to main lens's focal length to approximate telephoto lens's zoom (i say approximate because advertised zoom is slightly inaccurate as shown above).

Yes, maybe you're right that 90mm lens may not fit without increasing phone's thickness so they need to fold it into periscope setup. But, once they did go periscope, question is why be limited to 3.5 or 3.75x and not go for lets say 5x? There's plenty of room so why be limited to 90mm?

        90mm x 0.5 = 45mm
        Add that to 3x, and that is:
        (90mm x 3)+45mm
        270mm+45mm
        =315mm

        Take a 600mm lens with 1x zoom (no zoom at all). Still beats a the 104mm telephoto on a Pixel 6 Pro with 4x zoom.

          Anonymous, 30 Sep 2022I'm not denying it can zoom more than iphone because 3... moreIt doesn't matter if it can zoom 3.5x or not. What matters is the FOCAL LENGTH.
          Do the math.
          Huawei Mate 50 Pro: 90mm X 3.5= 315mm

          We are getting 315mm and that qualifies as a telephoto lens.

          Even a phone with 2x zoom with base focal length of 200mm, you still get 400mm at max zoom. Even greater than the Pixel 6 Pro with 4x.

          Just google: "what does 3x optical zoom means" and do the multiplication yourself.

          It has to be a periscope setup otherwise it won't fit. The sensor size, aperture, focal length, and thickness of the phone are all considered in designing these kind of camera systems.

              Bionic Chip, 30 Sep 20223.5x optical zoom seems like a small number but if you look... moreI'm not denying it can zoom more than iphone because 3.5x vs 3x but here it's periscope on iphone it's not, but all other phones with periscope has much more zoom. 3.5x its too less for periscope. Even pixel 6 pro has 4x with periscope.

                  Mate 50 Pro's telephoto lens is greater than that of iPhone 14 Pro Max since it can only achieve a maximum focal length of 77mm x 3 = 231mm.

                  Haha! Mate 50 Pro's focal length is the equivalent of 210mm (315mm FF equivalent) zoom lens that you typically find on an APS-C camera body (e.g. SEL55210). I own this type of lens and I take moon photos with it.

                    Btw iphone 14 pro max has 3x optical you can go and post your on that page too.

                      Great specs for phone. Love the possibiliti to use google services thrue gspace app, and you can download it from app gallery

                                Huawei invented reverse wireless charging on the mate phones and fast wireless charging as well. Its a shame people were jealous of huaweis success and they banned google.
                                Huawei would be number one right now.
