Looks Like the Galaxy S20’s 10x Optical Zoom Feature Was Just Another Rumor; Hybrid Zoom Might Still Reach New Heights

Samsung’s 2019 flagships feature 2x optical zoom and earlier it was believed that the Galaxy S20 camera system will offer a 5x telephoto lens. This in itself would be a massive upgrade, but some of the more recent reports suggest that the South Korean giant’s new premium lineup will have 10x optical zoom. However, if supply chain resources are to go by, the company will supposedly stick to 5x optical zoom this year.
In short, the optical parts manufacturer Optrontech is believed to have provided the 5x zoom module for the Galaxy S20 camera to Samsung already. Thus, if this prism is going to be fitted inside the Galaxy S20, it means the rumors surrounding a 10x zoom lens were inaccurate. That said, the media outlet that broke this news didn’t exactly refute the reports about a 10x camera zoom, so there is also a possibility that the higher-end Galaxy S20 Ultra might be treated to this.
