Sometimes the industry plays little tricks on the uninformed customer and dazzles us all with marketing bullshit, that we so desperately want to believe. Case in point: The new Samsung Galaxy S20-generation, which finally landed last week and can already be pre-ordered for a delivery in early March. To better compete with the likes of Huawei, Xiaomi und Apple, Samsung decided to go all nuts over its new cameras in all the three versions of the Galaxy S20-series.
When it comes to the cameras, the virtually hidden specsheet of the Galaxy S20-trio reveals a pretty massive difference between the Galaxy S20 Ultra and its slightly smaller siblings. However Samsung's clever marketing tricks try to cover it all up. Neither the Galaxy S20 nor the Galaxy S20+ have any kind of real zoom camera, the so-called "Telephoto Camera" only offers a ridiculously low 1.06 optical zoom factor, which is essentially no magnification at all. The touted "3x Hybrid Optic Zoom" is a mere crop into the (presumably) 64 megapixel wide-angle image, followed by regular, lossy, 10x digital zoom.

I hope it's not true. Very bad for the brand if found out to be misleading consumers.
It is just digital/hybrid zoom on the smaller S20 and S20+. As stated, the primary camera has and angle of 79 while the so-called "telephoto" camera only has an angle of 76 while the real telephoto camera on Ultra has an angle of 24. That explains it all. Real optical zoom only available on the ultra up to 4x to 5x.
