To include Samsung in the best zoom argument in 2025 when they no longer come close to anything the global competition Vivo x300pro, honor magic 8 pro, Oppo Find X9 Pro can do using Samsungs top of the line sensors especially while Samsung continues using their low quality small old HP2 out of the s23!! Samsung is actually going to use that sensor again in the s26 and zfold 8!!! Samsung continues exploiting Western consumers by using their pathetic hp2 while providing their global competition with Samsungs latest HPB, HP9 and HP5 sensors!! Samsung devices regarding battery, charging speeds and cameras are closer to the mid range global devices. Samsung refusing to use their best sensors in their own devices while helping their global competition create far superior devices should make everyone in the western markets refuse to purchase another Samsung device!!
Xiaomi is preparing to consign the digital zoom era, previously dominated by competitors such as Samsung, Oppo and Vivo, to the dustbin of history. A further detail regarding the rumored 200 MP Leica optical zoom camera in the Xiaomi 17 Ultra fits perfectly into this picture.
