Recent information shared on Weibo suggests that the next generation of the Galaxy Note will feature a promising lens but without the ability to zoom up to 100x.
Information shared on Weibo indicates that the next-generation Galaxy Note series will feature a promising lens but without the capability for 100x zoom.
If the provided information is accurate, the prospective lens on the Galaxy Note 20+ will not be the 48 MP sensor used by the Galaxy S20 Ultra. Instead, the Galaxy Note 20+ will utilize a 13 MP ISOCELL Slim 3M5 1/3-inch sensor, supporting Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) to enhance low-light images. The telephoto lens on the Note 20+ is expected to support up to 50x zoom.
Moreover, the 13 MP ISOCELL Slim 3M5 sensor features large 1.0-micrometer pixels, phase detection autofocus (PDAF), Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), and can record videos at 120 fps. Additionally, it can operate in temperatures ranging from -20 to 70 degrees Celsius and can output images in RAW10 format.

Additional sensors like ISOCELL Bright HM1 and Fast 2L3 will be included.
Alongside the 13 MP ISOCELL Slim 3M5 sensor with the promising lens, the camera setup of the Note 20+ will also include a 108 MP ISOCELL Bright HM1 sensor – similar to the Galaxy S20 Ultra. Sources suggest that the Note 20+ will not have a 3D ToF sensor. Instead, it will use a laser autofocus system to support the ISOCELL Bright HM1 sensor.
The third and final camera module on the rear of the Galaxy Note 20+ will be a super wide-angle camera, featuring a 12 MP ISOCELL Fast 2L3 1/2.55-inch sensor with 1.4-micrometer pixels, Dual Pixel PDAF, and Smart WDR. This camera can record super slow-motion videos at 1440 fps (HD resolution) and can output images in RAW10 and RAW8 formats.

Overall, Samsung will elevate the camera system on the Note 20+ to new heights, addressing weaknesses from previous generations. Currently, the 100x zoom may seem excessive; with a 50x zoom capability, it may become more practical and realistic.
The addition of a super wide-angle camera supporting Dual Pixel PDAF and the transition from a 3D ToF sensor to laser autofocus technology is also commendable.
