With the Galaxy S20 series, Samsung introduced the new and powerful Space Zoom technology. The Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+ feature zoom up to 30x, while the professional-grade 108-megapixel camera of the Galaxy S20 Ultra allows users to zoom up to 100 times to capture moments and details they might miss.
On the other hand, the recently launched Galaxy S21 series flagships also come with incredible camera capabilities. Meanwhile, the zoom capacity of these phones is the same as their predecessors. Moreover, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is Samsung’s first smartphone having two telephoto camera sensors that present 10x optical zoom and up to 100x space zoom.

Space zoom allows the Galaxy S21 Ultra and S20 Ultra owners to capture photos using up to 100 times magnification with clarity and accuracy. Besides, the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, Galaxy S20 FE, Galaxy S20, and Galaxy S20+ users can take images using 30x zoom.
How to use Space Zoom:

In addition to producing clearer shots, the technology also provides users with the ability to take portrait photos taken by professionals, with various background effects to enhance photo quality. It also supports a new “zoom lock” function, which can compensate smartphone users’ tendency to slightly shake the camera when zooming in to take pictures at high magnification.
