I can confirm that it at least performs better than my sons P40 Pro.

The P40 pro has excellent zoom to 50x. Rest of the cameras are underwhelming. IMO

This excerpt from the article below is incorrect. Both the S20 and Note 20 Ultras use a hybrid zoom. S20 Ultra starts out with 4X optical vs 5X for the Note 20 Ultra.

"While the Galaxy S20 Ultra still relied on a hybrid optical zoom, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra now has real optical magnification on board. Our short comparison will reveal how big the differences are next to the competition and whether it offers enough to be on par with Huawei.

Unlike the Galaxy S20 Ultra, the Note20 Ultra uses a true 5x optical zoom as the basis for magnification. The data from the main sensor and the periscope zoom is combined to achieve the clearest possible magnification. In addition to electronic image stabilizers, the two OIS also ensure a fairly steady hand at longer focal lengths. A maximum digital magnification of 50x is possible."

It's actually pretty good all things considered. I took this shot of the moon the other night at 35x I believe. Obviously tapatalk scaled it down but the detail in the moon was pretty good.

That is pretty good!

It was the night you could see Mars next to it but the brightness of the moon seemed to overshadow the nearby planet. My buddy has an s20 plus and we couldn't get it to focus on the moon like the note did. He was pretty impressed with the difference.

Yeah , think they got it right on Note 20

Check out the zoom on this. Not having another device to compare it to, for me, its pretty darn good.

Are you guys using a tripod or by hand ?

Mine was taken holding with both hands and kind of leveling it on the back of a chair.

I have the S20 Ultra and Note 10 Ultra. I'll have to do a side by side.

I'm curious to see the comparison

Yeah definitely

2 hands resting on fire place. Theirs a bit of delayed swaying while adjusting, but its easy to manage and lock in on subject.

I want to see a picture of the moon with the 100x space zoom on the s20 ultra

I believe on the S20U the 100x was blurry at that point , could be wrong .
