![]() I also lost detail despite this crop offering a higher resolution than the zoom lens. Again, I found that the exposure sabotaged the shot with the 108MP primary as it pushed the hat to a much lighter color. Here’s a similar example of a garden gnome that is a little worse for wear after the winter. As you can see, the shot from the primary camera is completely blown out in comparison to the zoom shot and loses a considerable amount of detail. Here’s an example of a shot of a quilt on my porch taken with the full 108MP primary camera on the Galaxy S21 Ultra and then with the 10x zoom. If you are making a minor crop, that won’t matter, but if you are trying to simulate a 3.3x or 10x zoom, it can have a tremendous impact on the result. The phone is making decisions based on the entire scene that it is capturing. One of the more interesting things I encountered during testing was how much of an impact using the telephoto camera versus the standard lens had on exposure. Due to a resolution limit on the tool that we use for the image comparison slider, I had to reduce the resolution for the shots from the dedicated telephoto sensors, but my comparisons are based on the full resolution images which are double that of the samples in the slider. Hopefully, that gives you a general idea of how and why you might find telephoto photography valuable on your phone, now let’s dig into whether having a dedicated telephoto lens is worthwhile. A telephoto lens will also give you different framing options as you might have the ability to crop out an element that was ruining your photo. ![]() Sometimes you miss a specific element trying to take in an entire scene. On that last point, finding a subject that you may not have seen is another benefit of a telephoto lens. You can actually track and capture the action better while honing in on a specific subject. Action shots, whether it's your child running around or getting photos of a football game, are often best captured with a telephoto lens from a distance. ![]()
