There are two types of zoom. Due to its module moving the lens directly to zoom, the latter is what the company is putting to use.

This is all thanks to the company's zoom actuator, a component that used less battery power and was more focused on accuracy. The thickness of the module has been reduced in order to remove the "camerabump" that can be found on many of the best phones on the market.

The module uses an optical image stabilizer to reduce blur on photos and videos caused by shaking and increase the definition of captured content. The closer you are to a target, the more clear you can see subtle movements.

The relationship between the two companies will help improve the software that works with the optical zoom. The work will be used on phones powered by the new platform. It's claimed to improve auto-focus, auto-exposure, auto-white balance, and more.

The periscope optical lens is built for content creators. The module had a zoom range of 3.5 to 5.2x. Users would be able to enjoy a smooth zoom and better image capture before digital cropping came into play, according to the company. Since it is attempting to keep the quality high at a much closer zoom range without compromising, it looks like the optical telephoto module is trying to get the edge.
