High Resolution

108MP lets you pinch in. Again. And again. And again.4

Photo taken on Galaxy S20 Ultra’s 108 megapixel camera of a couple sitting on a beach. The 108MP gives you incredible detail in your photos so you can pinch in again and again without losing clarity, and as we pinch in on the photo, we discover a scene of someone carrying a surfboard at the right angle to make it look like the person jumping off the cliff behind them is jumping onto the surfboard

Pinch in to experience 108MP

Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G breaks the 12MP barrier by giving you millions more pixels in each photograph. Which means, for the first time ever, you can pinch in to capture details you've never seen before.
