Definition

The ability of a camera lens to magnify distant subjects. In smartphones, this can be achieved through optical zoom (using lens elements) or digital zoom (cropping and scaling the image), often augmented by software processing.

Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)

Samsung is noted for its strong zoom performance, particularly with its multiple telephoto lenses and aggressive software processing, making it advantageous for distant shots and portraiture.
