Several information arrive in the same day about the next Samsung phone that will arrive standing out for its 16 megapixel camera: The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom. One of the information confirms that the photographic sensor of the phone will offer the possibility of having a up to 10X optical zoom Will it be the beginning of the era telephoto of smartphones?
El Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom it would become the first smartphone with an optical zoom of such caliber, as a 10x magnification has never been seen before in a telephone terminal. In addition, rumors about its existence have been confirmed today, as the device has not yet been confirmed by Samsung. This has been thanks to Bluetooth SIG, where its existence is confirmed under the codes SM-C1010 or SM-101 and where it is also confirmed that it will have Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity.
But, returning to the topic of the wonderful 16 megapixel camera and its 10x optical zoomLet's solve some questions that more than one will have by reading these lines.
What does "10x optical zoom" mean on a photographic lens?
It refers exactly to the ratio of highest to lowest increase that the lens can offer us. Moving to the world of photography we could give an example: If we have a 28mm-280mm variable range telephoto lens, we have a 10x magnification, since 280mm is 10 times the 28mm, which is the lowest magnification of the lens.
We still have to wait for the technical characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom To confirm what telephoto lens its 10 increases would be equivalent to, it will depend on the minimum magnification that the lens brings by default. Most smartphones have lenses of around 28mm, so if you stick with this, the 10x magnification of the Samsung Galaxy Zoom would effectively be equivalent to 280mm telephoto lens.
We will be attentive to any information about the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, which is expected to be unveiled later this month to be available in stores before summer.
