      potato4k, 07 Mar 2020LOL. Sure fanboy. What’s next, are you going to give credit... moreSure if they pioneer some feature, I'll give them credit but they are too busy playing catchup.
      Innovation is far from sight, pioneering something is a distant dream for Apple in the smartphone world in 2020.

        Flgshp2020, 07 Mar 2020It's simply better in all conditions, that is what matters.... moreLOL. Sure fanboy. What’s next, are you going to give credit to Apple next if they do it?

          You don't get credit for bringing it first.
          Pioneering doesn't mean bringing it first, it means taking it to the next level which is what Samsung did with the telephoto lens. I wish they did the same for the Ultrawide.

            HovadoLesni, 06 Mar 2020unfortunately (for the competition) Huawei is no more a pla... moreYup, agreed. Without Huawei, Samsung basically has free reign for flagship Android, thus explains why they moved up the price range with the S20 ultra.

              Flgshp2020, 06 Mar 2020Been there done that? Lol the same zoom lens on p30 pro whi... moreSo? The fact is Huawei pioneered the periscope zoom lens. Obviously Samsung’s should be better as it is newer, but it’s not innovative, just reiterative.

That 100x zoom is rubbish, be honest its not something I would go around showing people. And I'm Samsung user, but not a fanboy.

                      Well i bet is the same like Xiaomi had last year with that 108 Mppix camer phone which came out last november.

                        potato4k, 06 Mar 2020Yup, good to see the boy (Samsung) growing up, trying to ca... moreBeen there done that? Lol the same zoom lens on p30 pro which is rendered useless in low light since sensor is small and weak.

                              The S20 Series and the S20 Ultra are extremely bold decisions and risks taken, and with the right firmware updated to the camera algorithms, it should pay off as probably the best phone camera of the year. The zoom, including the 100x zoom had already improved substantially with the new firmware update. If Samsung can master the upressing software during or immediate after image capture itself, this camera could truly help you replace your point and shoot completely.

                                Plus its gonna get even better with time as Samsung improves their Algorithms for Nona Bayer sensor.

                                It just didn't match the expectations that were created by the hype, where everyone thought this would be head and shoulders above the rest of the flagships.

                                    A very important piece of information from the source link:
                                    "The lens itself is good for a 4x zoom—the rest comes from a combination of sensor cropping and binning (48 megapixels pared down to 12) and standard digital zoom, to get to 100x."

                                      separating boys from men...samsung rules..
