There is an unwritten rule in the digital circle that many configurations are only used by flagship phones, which are rarely seen on low-to-mid-range models. For example, IP68 dustproof and waterproof, wireless charging, periscope telephoto lens, etc., these are the selling points that the flagship comes standard with. Among them, due to the increasing attention of various manufacturers to the image function of mobile phones in recent years, the importance of periscope telephoto has begun to become prominent, and even Apple has equipped the iPhone 15 Pro Max with a periscope telephoto lens for the first time. 
Oppo Find X7 Ultra) So, with each flagship equipped with a periscope telephoto, who performs the best? Today, let's test it together, including the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Samsung S23 Ultra, Huawei Mate 60 Pro+, Vivo X100 Pro, and Oppo Find X7 Ultra. Before we officially announce the samples, let's take a look at the telephoto configuration of these five models. First up is the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which has a periscope telephoto lens with 12 million pixels and supports up to 5x optical zoom. This is followed by the Samsung S23 Ultra, which is equipped with two 10-megapixel telephoto lenses that support up to 10x optical zoom as well as 100x digital zoom. The Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ is equipped with a 48-megapixel ultra-macro telephoto lens that supports 35x optical zoom.

Huawei Mate 60 Pro+) The vivo X100 Pro is equipped with a 50-megapixel Zeiss APO super telephoto lens on the rear, which supports 43x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom. Finally, there is the Oppo Find X7 Ultra, which is equipped with two periscope telephoto lenses for the first time in history. These two telephoto lenses support 65mm and 135mm classic portrait focal lengths respectively, and are equipped with IMX890 and IMX858 two outsole sensors, which support up to 6x optical zoom. From a hardware perspective, the Samsung S23 Ultra and the Oppo Find X7 Ultra are undoubtedly the strongest in terms of telephoto configuration, so is this also the case when actually shooting?

It is not difficult to see from the picture below that the four models are all good, and the details on the night billboards are recorded, but there is a gap in imaging quality. Because the iPhone 15 Pro Max only supports up to 5x light variation, noise is noticeable in photos at 10x zoom, but its highlight suppression is strong. The Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ shows clear detail in the front lamp post, but there is a slight noise on the billboard in the back.

The performance of the OPPO Find X7 Ultra is reasonable, with the configuration of dual periscope telephoto lenses, the brightness of the shot is moderate, and the ability to suppress highlights is also very strong, and the details on the billboard are clearly visible, the key is that in the night environment, the noise of the whole photo is very small, and the image quality is extremely high.

Oppo Find X7 Ultra 10x sample) switched to 60x zoom mode, at which point the iPhone 15 Pro Max exited and switched to the more powerful Samsung S23 Ultra and three other domestic flagships. The four models shoot the distant clock at the same time, because it is 60x zoom, which not only tests the "telephoto" ability of the four models, but also puts forward certain requirements for the camera hardware of the mobile phone. Although Samsung S23 Ultra supports 10x light change and 100x digital zoom, because its periscope telephoto lens is only 10 million pixels, the **smear feeling is very serious.

Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ 60x sample) The Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ is also on par with the Samsung S23 Ultra overall, but the Vivo X100 Pro and Oppo Find X7 Ultra are the best performers, with clear clock details and vivid colors with no noticeable noise. Especially the OPPO Find X7 Ultra, because it is equipped with two periscope telephoto lenses, one 3x IMX890 + one 6x IMX858, the sensor has certain advantages over other flagships, so the photos still have a good look after cropping.

OPPO Find X7 Ultra 60x sample) After some comparison, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the telephoto shooting capabilities of these five flagships. To put it simply, all of these flagships perform well in telephoto shooting, but in extreme scenarios such as 60x and 100x zoom modes, the Vivo X100 Pro and Oppo Find X7 Ultra perform significantly better. Especially the Find X7 Ultra with the blessing of dual periscopes, the details of the distant picture are clearly recorded in the mobile phone, this strength is not available in every model, and friends who like to take pictures can experience it.
