Not that we needed any further confirmation about the camera setups on the Galaxy S21, S21+ or S21 Ultra, but it’s always nice to get an official render leal that confirms every rumor so far. These come courtesy of the one and only Evan Blass via Voice, and include the main, periscope, telephoto, and ultrawide-angle camera specifications of Samsung’s Galaxy S21 family.
Samsung Galaxy S21 vs S21+ vs S21 Ultra camera specs
- 12MP vs 12 MP vs 108MP main sensors
- 12MP vs 12MP vs 12MP ultrawide camera lens sensors
- 64MP vs 64MP vs 10MP 10x periscope/3x telephoto zoom cameras
- 10MP vs 10MP vs 40MP front camera sensors
It simply crops from the high-res 64MP secondary sensor, and Samsung itself admits that what it calls a “telephoto camera” actually sports a lens that is very much wide-angle, almost as wide as the lens on the main camera.
The “telephoto” lens only provides a 1.06 zoom compared to the regular camera, so all the zooming is actually almost entirely based on software – cropping and merging with the information from the main and/or ultrawide sensors.
