Leaks are coming out left right and center about the Samsung Galaxy S20 each one revealing just a little bit of what’s to come in Samsung’s next flagship series.
Earlier thought to be designated Galaxy S11, the S20 is expected to have an older brother which should come be announced after its launch dubbed Galaxy S20 Ultra.
The S20 Ultra will supposedly be the most powerful and also most expensive of the S20 siblings.
A new leak revealed by tipster Ishan Agarwal on Twitter shows off the 100x zoom, quad-lens camera set-up attached to the back of the device. These bits and bite-size of clues and leaks are all lining up and soon we should have a complete mental picture of what the S20 family are like before their official announcement.
This image accurately represents how the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G Camera setup looks like! It will be dual shade (grey matte like + black), and it honestly looks good (better than what I tried to make here lol). Yeah, 100X would be printed besides Periscope Camera. pic.twitter.com/YwbYWZmvyg

Apparently, Samsung is proud of their achievement so much so that they’ve opted to label the 100x zoom lens in an obvious manner, right by the periscope. It’s also supposed to be a 10x optical zoom even though that bit of info is yet to be confirmed.
Before you get lost and ask what is he talking about. The 100x is a Digital zoom. It’s software-based and as such, there is a loss of quality the further you zoom in. By contrast, Optical zoom is mechanical. There’s is no loss of quality in the image even when you zoom in to the highest level. Much like the zoom of a DSLR camera.
With tech advancement in the area, the camera field the line between optical and digital zoom is beginning to blur out. Apple, Google and others are relying heavily on advanced algorithms and digital enhancements to make mobile pictures the best they can be.
February 11 is the big announcement day and all speculations will be put to bed. The true features and rumours will path ways and the Samsung 20 series will be unleashed upon us and upon our bank accounts.
