            Samsung has terrible image processing. When you take a photo of the moon at 100x zoom with the S20 Ultra, it looks worse than with a phone that only has one camera due to extreme noise reduction. At 100x zoom they have strange algorithms.

                  Anonymous, 20 May 2020Periscope is 4x. 104mm. But the 100x is digital zoom from 108MP cam. No, it isn't. The 100x zoom is related to the 1x field of view, but it's approximately 24.5x digital zoom from the periscope camera.

                      the problem is that they do this with their flagships.

                        100x space zoom is a gimmick.

                          Anonymous, 20 May 2020Nah its really goodif you think the under-screen galaxy fingerprint sensor is good or even usable, it only proves you are a samsung shill.
                          for me the sensor doesn't work 80% of times - finger too wet, finger too dry, display too dirty, bad weather, idk what else.
                          compared to the actual physical fingerprint scanner technology which works 99% of time, the under screen scanner is utterly useless.

                                  I don't even bother about 100x Space Zoom. It's just a software mess!

                                    Is the S20U really only 3.5X optical? Explains the poor quality. I can crop a 50X zoom shot from my P30 Pro and achieve similar 100X results to the S20U.

                                        Sensor cropping is just fancy wording for cropping. Using a 1/x of a sensor is exactly the same as using the full sensor and digitally cropping it. The effective sensor area is the same either way,
