The 100x Space Zoom belonging exclusively to the Galaxy S20 Ultra, for now, could be a gimmick for some, and a blessing for others in some situations. For private investigator Michael McKeever, it is a chance to see how far smartphones have come in terms of zoom levels and to see how Samsung’s latest and greatest flagship stacks up against his go-to cameras. For comparison, the iPhone 11 Pro Max, a Sony HDR-CX190, and a Nikon P100 were included in the test.

McKeever has been doing private investigation for 30 years now and this was the first time when he decided to shoot videos with a smartphone. The Wall Street Journal’s senior personal tech columnist Joanna Stern was able to provide her insights too and states that while the Galaxy S20 Ultra can capture 30x zoomed images at crisp quality, it struggles when taking a decent picture when the 100x Space Zoom feature is used. This is confirmed by the way McKeever uses the Nikon P100.
