    If the customized 1-inch sensor from Sony is a new one instead of another LYT-900, then I'm sold and will keep my fingers crossed. Though the shots look good (though utterly compressed), I'm not excepting much from the 10x optical zoom capability, let alone a Galaxy S4/K-Zoom like retractable/floating system.

      raditz594, 5 hours agoyou're tripping bro. The photo of the girl looks goodhe's talking about the other photo where the level of detail isn't great

        Optical means a lens that physically moves, like galaxy s4 zoom! Not in house wannabe "optical".

          Dimtons, 8 hours agoThat zoom pic looks bad tho, heavily processed you're tripping bro. The photo of the girl looks good

            I hope its something like Samsung K Zoom. Single rear camera with extending lens that goes from 1x to 5x optical and 10x loseless or 10x optical. K Zoom had 1/2.3 sensor 10 years ago. Doing it with type 1" sensor today should be possible.

            I hope its something different than other brands. Not just marketing gimmicks. Or not some prototype with external lens like Xiaomi did.

              Kind of a bit pointless if it's only a concept phone that they are not going to launch as the leaks are suggesting. Would be interesting if they were actually planning to launch it

                EXIF gives the equivalent if software is told to.
                Same way huawei often uses 27mm when lens is 23mm.

                    To me sounds like LYT600 that uses 2x ISZ to achieve this.

                    Even if it was native range, with f2.0, sensor would be too small.
                    Worse than 1/4".


                      Alright Realme make a cheap camera phone for us.. camera phones don't always have to be $1000+

                      Make a successor to Mi Note 10.

                        Anonymous, 8 hours agoThat was cropped 12mp to 10. Does not count. You can ... moreWrong, it was upscaled from 10 mp to 12 mp, just like other 8/10 mp sensors. Physical focal length tells the real story.

                                Sadly , size is issue for longer ranges.
