With 3.5x optical zoom and AI-supported enhancements such as AI Flash Photography and AI Editor 2.0, these devices capture portraits and landscapes with remarkable clarity.

Elevating Travel Memories with Cinematic Impact

The telephoto zoom is more than a technical upgrade. It is also a storytelling tool. Paired with its AI-powered image processing, the telephoto camera also supports 4K recording, including underwater 4K on supported models, so your memories are preserved with ultra-high-definition detail and cinematic impact.
