Little by little we continue to know more details of the next big phones that will arrive on the market soon, and if there is something that users pay special attention to, they are to the cameras. Samsung and Huawei have known for a long time, and this year they will not miss the appointment with great news in that regard.
The Galaxy S11 could have a 5x optical zoom
The first rumor is related to the Galaxy S11 . We have already seen more than one track related to the terminal, but now it seems that we have data related to the camera that will perform the telephoto functions. As we suspected, the phone will feature a lens 5 increases to approach the scene or object, however, it seems that the big news will be on the sensor used, as far from the classic 8 – megapixel Samsung will animate with one of no less than 48 megapixels .
Samsung will lead the high-pixel telephoto lens, and the telephoto cameras of the S11e, S11, and S11 + are not less than 48MP.

This would make the Galaxy S11 have a pair of cameras of 108 and 48 megapixels, so it will be interesting to see the performance of both on the device. We’ll see if those 48 megapixels are an aid to crop with interpolation and get a larger hybrid zoom (it looks like it all).
The P40 with 10x camera?
On the other hand we have Huawei, who seems to bet on the maximum in terms of increases. That is the least that predicts the respected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, known for matching with the predictions of Apple, who now says the next flagship Huawei mount a periscope camera with 10x zoom. This is information generated from contacts in different production chains and manufacturers, although unfortunately there is no type of test that can be used to confirm it halfway.
Given that the P30 Pro had a 5x zoom, it makes sense that the manufacturer wants to reach a new level with its next phone, especially when Huawei has no choice but to show muscle and face the harsh reality without Google . If so, the P40 would offer an optical zoom that some compact in the market would already like. The question is, what stabilizer will it take?
Pixels and Zoom
Samsung has a clear advantage over its competitors when it comes to sensor resolution. Its branch of semiconductors has been doing a spectacular job when it comes to making sensors, and it seems that this year they will be crowned with the 108 megapixel captor. So seen seen, Huawei seems to have no choice but to attract attention with the optical zoom.
As we have said, the use of a 5 magnification lens and a 48 megapixel sensor could lead to a rather interesting hybrid zoom, so it will be interesting to see Huawei’s defense in this aspect by opting for the 10 magnification.
