100x zoom test with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has a quad camera setup on the rear, consisting of a 200MP (f/1.7) main unit, a 12MP (f/2.2) ultrawide and a pair of telephoto modules: one is a 50MP (f/3.4) 5x zoom, and the other is a secondary 10MP (f/2.4) 3x zoom. Space Zoom carries over from the S23 Ultra, once again allowing you to hybrid zoom up to a maximum zoom range of 100x.

As ever, it’s the zoomed images that are the real star of the show. The 10x periscope camera of last year’s phone has been replaced with a 5x zoom, yet it’s worth noting that this now captures 50MP images, rather than the previous 10MP. During a brisk one-day trip around San Francisco, I had the opportunity to capture some truly excellent stills from various vantage points, zooming all the way up to the maximum 100x.
And quite frankly, these are the best-looking zoomed images around, especially those captured between the 3x and 10x range. Anything beyond that, and you’ll spot some rather aggressive over-sharpening, but dip below 10x and you’re looking at a set of pictures with a remarkable lack of visual noise and outstanding clarity, even in low light.
