A common feeling in the past two years is that fewer and fewer mobile phones are equipped with telephoto lenses and . Telephoto lenses are basically invisible on mid-range phones. Even flagship phones are not equipped with many models. This makes many users who like to shoot with telephoto very dissatisfied.
Why are telephoto lenses commonly missing?
Xiaoju believes that there are mainly the following reasons.
First, the telephoto lens is relatively more expensive and the cost is higher.
Second, the lens module of the telephoto lens is thicker, which will cause the lens to bulge excessively. Even if a periscope design is adopted, it will lead to excessive horizontal volume, which is unpopular in the precious space of the fuselage.
The above two points determine that current telephoto lenses are generally placed on high-end flagships, because high-end flagships have thicker bodies and more expensive prices.
The third point is related to the popular trend of mobile phone imaging. For example, when telephoto is popular, everyone is competing to see whose zoom factor is bigger; when AI is popular, they are comparing whose pictures are more gorgeous; when high-pixels are popular, they are comparing whose pixels are higher; when outsole is popular, they are comparing whose Whose sensor size is larger...
Currently, in the imaging competition among major manufacturers, more emphasis is placed on self-developed technology, imaging quality and imaging culture. Therefore, multiple main cameras, outsole, self-developed chips, exclusive algorithms, co-branding with traditional camera manufacturers, etc. have become the core of competition. The telephoto competition is a thing of the past.
However, judging from this year, telephoto lenses are gradually making a comeback. According to Xiaoju's incomplete statistics, so far, at least 20 new models this year are equipped with telephoto lenses.
For many people who like to take pictures, the existence of telephoto is very necessary.
Telephoto has a narrower viewing range, which can eliminate interference from debris in complicated scenes and obtain a cleaner and neater composition.
The telephoto zoom advantage is irreplaceable when shooting distant things, such as children participating in competitions, distant animals, PPT at the venue, etc.
Xiaoju specially took stock of this year’s models equipped with telephoto lenses and made a table. Friends who are in need of telephoto lenses can refer to them. Some detailed data may not be complete enough, but the core parameters are there. If there are any missing models, please leave a message to add them.
