Samsung’s intention in writing this article is to match Xiaomi’s upcoming Note13Pro+, which uses 200MP and the main highlight is the in-sensor zoom to 4x.

Another paragraph from Samsung describes the vivo X100 Pro+, which vivo will use 200MP HP3 at the telephoto end to achieve unparalleled telephoto and 200X digital zoom, which will surpass the S24 Ultra and all mobile phones. It's no secret, digital chat  have leaked it many times. Vivo uses HP3 for a focal length of approximately 4.3x. The 16x lossless zoom (12.5MP) that can be achieved far exceeds the 10x 10MP of the S23 Ultra, and given that the Samsung S24 Ultra has canceled the 10x optical zoom, it is very possible for vivo to surpass the S24 Ultra.

Samsung will not adopt such a strong solution because the cost is too high and the camera module is slightly thicker.

The Samsung S24 Ultra telephoto will use a 3x 10MP + 5x 50MP 0.7μm solution.

Next year’s telephoto king is vivo

What’s also interesting is that the photo taken in this Samsung article was taken in Shenzhen. The headquarters of Vivo.
