Samsung Galaxy S24 in a zoom photo face-off
The iPhone 15 may have bragging rights over the Samsung Galaxy S24 after our 200-photo camera face-off found Apple's device to be the better camera phone overall. But there's one area you'd think that Samsung's handset still holds an advantage — zoom shots. After all, the Galaxy S24 has a dedicated telephoto lens while the iPhone 15 is limited to just main and ultrawide cameras in its rear array. The 10MP telephoto camera on the Galaxy S24 supports a 3x optical zoom, and with the aid of digital zooming, you can get as close as 30x to your subject. (We'd recommend using a tripod for those shots, as longer zooms are especially susceptible to shaky hands.)
