Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra 120x zoom sample photos: Not as good as expected!

The well-known network informant under the nickname Ice Universe, who often shares exclusive information about new products in the mobile industry, published photos taken with the main camera of the new Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra smartphone.

These photographs were taken from the same angle using different lenses and zoom factors. This is unlikely to be a surprising conclusion, but no miracle has happened with the introduction of the 120x zoom. 

Even up to 10x zoom, the picture is excellently detailed, but already at 50x zoom it turns into a mess, which is only exacerbated by using 120x zoom.

Some users argue that no post-processing even occurs at 120x zoom – the camera simply takes a picture at 50x zoom and crops it. However, you can see the photos at full resolution via the link in the source below.
