What makes it interesting here is that Samsung has decided to do away with the 10x periscope camera that it used to include on the previous Ultras, though it is still capable of going up to 100x space zoom, and with the higher megapixel count, it is still capable of delivering a 10x lossless zoom by cropping into the sensor.
