Not long ago, Huawei Pura 70 series mobile phones were released, and the telescopic lens used in the main camera attracted everyone's attention, and everyone was also full of curiosity about this "new" telescopic lens, but the lens only had a telescopic function, and did not provide the ability to zoom, which made a discount in practicality.
Samsung also plans to make some adjustments to the image of the next-generation S series mobile phones, and recently, overseas people broke the news of the prototype of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
First of all, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will no longer use 4 cameras on the rear, removing a telephoto lens, and only 3 cameras are ultra-wide, main camera, and periscope telephoto. However, the sensor size and pixels of the main camera will not change, but the amount of light will increase, and the ultra-wide angle will not change much.

The biggest upgrade is that the Galaxy S25 Ultra's periscope telephoto will have a variable focal length feature in addition to a larger sensor, but unlike the continuous variable focal length on the Sony Xperia 1 V, the Galaxy S25 Ultra's periscope telephoto lens only has two fixed focal lengths.
That is to say, a periscope telephoto lens of Galaxy S25 Ultra can be used as a periscope telephoto lens with 2 focal lengths, and the news broke that the zoom factor of one focal length is between 4-5 times, and the other is between 6-7 times, but it is still the engineering machine stage, and what is the final zoom focal length is still to be verified.
The mobile phone realizes the variable focal length function, and the essence is to use the telescopic characteristics of the lens, and the focal length changes through the telescopic lens of the lens, which is different from the purpose of Huawei Pura 70 Ultra to control the thickness of the lens module through the telescopic lens. The ideal state is that in the future, a lens of mobile phones can achieve continuous optical zoom, of course, the premise of use is that continuous optical zoom image quality is available, and it seems that it will take some time at present.
