We asked, you told us: Most readers would buy continuous zoom camera phones

June 26, 2025

Zoom lenses are pretty common on thebest camera phones, and for good reason. They bring distant subjects closer, and more recent technology has improved the fruits of these cameras considerably. Using two dedicated zoom cameras has also helped OEMs improve the quality of shots at specific zoom levels.

But this setup may not be needed for much longer, at least forSamsung. According to rumors, theSamsung Galaxy S22series may pack even more imaging advancements, with a continuous zoom camera slated for inclusion. This means the firm could get away with using a single zoom camera that can span across multiple zoom ranges.

More than 54% of voters are adamant they’d purchase a phone with the tech, ticking the “yes, of course” box.
