- Samsung has apparently started testing a 200MP periscope camera.
- The Galaxy maker would follow in the footsteps of vivo and HONOR if it offered a phone with a 200MP zoom camera.
- Our own experience with these phones suggests you should expect better long-range zoom.
The first phones with 200MP telephoto cameras hit the market last year, delivering a major leap in resolution and enabling better long-range zoom. Now, it sounds like Samsung is testing this tech, too.
Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station claimed that Samsung has started to test a 200MP periscope camera. The user also said that it was testing a 1/1.5-inch 200MP sensor, making it slightly smaller than the 1/1.4-inch 200MP sensor seen on HONOR and vivo’s phones.
