Samsung Android Rumors

The lens features f/4.9 aperture, OIS and 240mm (10x) periscope telephoto zoom. But the most important bit is that the periscope system does the 10x zoom by just two refractions instead of five like other periscope systems do.

Yes, something like that. Actually, it's more that Samsung used a larger sensor, but did not compensate enough by using a much larger aperture. For example, 150 units of light could fit through a hole of a specified size. After traveling t...

I see, so basically there's less light hitting the sensor per area on S21 Ultra due to aperture being not large enough, and Samsung compensated for it by using a lot larger sensor. I stand corrected for the part where I said S21 Ultra "take...
