  • A ZTE executive has bemoaned the lack of telephoto or periscope cameras on some flagship phones.
  • The executive claimed that these cameras can be more expensive than main cameras.

Telephoto and periscope zoom cameras are among the most useful secondary cameras around, allowing you to get more detailed zoomed shots without physically moving closer to a subject. Unfortunately, we’ve seen a trend in recent years for some flagship phones to skip a zoom-focused camera, such as the Google Pixel 6, iPhone 13, and OnePlus 9.

Now, ZTE executive Lu Qianhao has published a Weibo post bemoaning the lack of telephoto and periscope cameras on some flagship phones.
