Have you noticed the extra camera on the back of your Galaxy that lets you zoom in without losing quality? That’s the Telephoto Lens.

 What is a Telephoto Lens?
A telephoto lens is a special type of camera lens designed for optical zoom. Instead of just cropping the picture (like digital zoom), it uses lens optics to bring the subject closer while keeping the details sharp and clear.

 How does it work in Samsung phones?

The telephoto lens has a longer focal length compared to the main camera lens.

This lets it capture distant objects as if they were closer.

With Samsung’s advanced processing + OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), telephoto shots stay crisp even at high zoom levels.

 Benefits of the Telephoto Lens:

Clear zoom shots without pixelation

Great for portraits (natural background blur) 

Capture faraway objects (landscapes, events, wildlife)

In short, the telephoto lens = true optical zoom + sharper details, making your Galaxy a pocket-sized zoom camera.
