If I remember right, newer Samsungs have their stack of telephoto optics pointing toward the top of the phone, parallel to the display. Then use a periscope style prism to look out and forward. That way you aren't limited by the device thickness (although I guess now the diameter of the lenses is constrained)
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoYeah -- this is typically called "folded optics". There have been experiments with this over the years. Minolta coined the phrase for a 3x zoom in the DiMAGE X series, starting twenty years ago, and as I recall they were the first to use this technology in a consumer camera: https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/minoltadimagex https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/minoltadimagex
