Samsung introduced the Galaxy S20 and S20 + and gave a good portion of the Green Unpacked event on February 11 to talk about their cameras and for all the improvements that were made while making tools. In particular, the company took a chest from deadly force following zoom, to the extent that they use the technology that the company called Zoom in Space.
However What if the Galaxy S20 and S20 + zoom were not as we really thought it would be? To mark the wait and learn more about the new phones until the launch on March 13, people of Booklet check has decided to carefully review the terminology paper published by Samsung on his website, in order to conclude that The Galaxy S20 and S20 + telephoto sensor is not a true "telephoto".
If you want a real zoom, you'll need to buy the Galaxy S20 Ultra
As indicated by this site, the official official sheet of the three new phones unveiled by Samsung on the 11th shows that or Galaxy S20 or model Also install a “telephoto” or Optical zoom sensor. Instead, Samsung used a lower-resolution sensor than the larger camera at -76º and 79º- but of higher resolution, when different algorithms were used to find what Samsung called the "hybrid Optical zoom", though the "optical" part was is just a 1.06 magnification.
Therefore, this function contains the cut is captured on a 64-megapixel camera getting a 3-zoom hybrid zoom, and later it can be further reduced digitally to get up to 10 zoom images.
On the other hand, it is unknown why Samsung decided to bet on the deal instead of adding an actual zoom. However, it is thought that 8K video has something to do, because shooting a video of such a resolution requires a sensor of at least 33 megapixels – so it would not be possible to use a 12-core -. In addition, since the primary and single sensor intended for capturing a 64-megapixel video have the same field of view, the transition from one sensor to another where video recording is clearly visible.
Yes, Samsung is not the first company to take steps of this kind, and probably not the last. Last year, OnePlus announced its Pro version saying that its graphics system had Good zoom for 3x hybrid, when in fact the "telephoto" sensor offers only the actual zoom magnification of 2.2. At least the Chinese model had a real "telephoto", of course.
In short, though this doesn't mean too much for the Galaxy S20 and S20 + camera will not survive Competitive models of real zoom – And if not, you should see that Pixel 4 is able to zoom in with the 1.8x optical zoom and operating algorithms that Google uses to zoom in without losing it-, you need to keep that in mind, Those who really want to experience Optical zoom skills, should they fit into the Galaxy S20 Ultra with its 4-magnization periscope zoom system with a 24º viewing field.
