I find that few people here talk about a new feature that has become popular in the smartphone industry in recent years: telephoto macro.

Next, let me talk about it. Maybe you don’t usually have access to Chinese brand mobile phones, so you may not know much about telephoto macro. Telephoto macro means that the telephoto camera of the mobile phone can achieve macro shooting. In layman’s terms, it means , the telephoto camera can be very close to the subject, even as close as 10~20cm to capture the object, so that the high magnification of the telephoto can be used to capture the details of flowers and insects, which is great.

Among the recently released mobile phones, Huawei Mate60 Pro, Xiaomi 14, and iQOO 12 all have

telephoto macro functions. They are usually 3x or 3.5x64MP. As you can see, these photos are impressive.

Loosely speaking, in fact, S23Ultra also has telephoto macro function. The shortest shooting distance of

S23U's 10x is 50cm. It can be zoomed in to high magnification to shoot some flowers and insects. I often do this, but 50cm is still a bit far, so the picture quality is not very good. good.

The picture quality of Huawei and vivo iQOO12 is better.

However, the telephoto of Huawei and iQOO 12 is not as good as Samsung S23U when used as a telescope, because the 10x of S23U is the most powerful at 10x-100x.

However, all this is about to change. The 100mm (4.3x) telephoto camera of the new phone that vivo will release tomorrow not only ranks first with the S23 Ultra in terms of telephoto function, but I can guarantee that its algorithm is very strong. It also has a telephoto macro function within 20cm, which is by far the best performance of a smartphone in terms of shooting close objects. I was shocked by the amazing picture quality.

In other words, the total telephoto performance of this phone clearly surpasses that of the S23U. It can be used as both a telescope and a microscope, and both perform best. I will show you samples to prove this the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, I think telephoto cameras for future smartphones must not only perform well in telephoto, but also work hard on telephoto and macro. This is even more practical than 100x telephoto in life, what do you think?
