 @c713ed05 Quick question. Isn’t one of the benefits of a periscope lens is that all the zooms get to use the 48mp sensor instead of 3 different ones? Shouldn’t that make a HUGE quality difference?

 @ef238dc1 No, the zoom camera just replaces the 3x camera, I think. The 1x and 0.5x cameras are still separate.

 @a6ff0b2b Well that just isn't very exciting at all! I figured the periscope reflector would enable them to all just move the mirror and use the same sensor... this is just a bit better physical distance for the optics... grrrrr. Give me magic!!!
