RE:Galaxy S21 Ultra Just reading a preview of the S21 and this caught my attention. No mention ecosystem partners that I saw in any reviews so one can hope.... it's been 4 long years.

What blew me away is when I attempted a longer zoom. Even at 20x and 30x, the shot appeared clean to me, at least on the phone screen (I wasn’t able to examine the photo on a larger monitor). And at 100x — which Samsung calls “Space Zoom” — the shot is surprisingly detailed. In fact, Samsung has managed to improve stabilization at this zoom range in ways I’d never seen before. Words can’t do it justice, so watch the video: I’m holding the Galaxy S21 Ultra with one hand, zoomed at 100x, and the image is stable.
Other phones that can zoom this far (the Galaxy S20 Ultra, Huawei P40 Pro Plus, and the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, all three of which I tested extensively) showed very, very shakyimages, which is expected behavior, hence my surprise with the new Samsung.
Just to help cross reference.
