The Samsung Galaxy Note20 family won't be getting 100x Space Zoom

According to one of the most reputable Samsung leaksters, the upcoming Galaxy Note20 lineup won't get the 100x zoom from the Galaxy S20 Ultra. Although not very impressive in terms of quality, the feature was impressive as no other phone offers 100x zoom.

Note20 series no longer retains 100X zoom function

It looks like Samsung isn't very happy with the reception of the novelty feature so it has decided to go a different way. Samsung has decided to include a more modest telephoto unit, but it's unclear if the periscope lens or the high-res sensor will be scraped. The S20 Ultra was capable of 3.5x optical zoom and made up for the rest by cropping from the big 48MP sensor.

Galaxy Note20 + will still use 108mp HM1, but add a new sensor to assist in focusing and completely solve the focusing problem.

The good news is that the plus model will retain the 108MP sensor from the S20 Ultra and will be tuned tuned to solve the autofocus issue that some S20 Ultra users experienced.
