Pixel 10 Pro Beats Galaxy S26 Ultra and Razr Fold in 100x Zoom Test

Summary
Three phones tested at 100x zoom — Google’s Pixel 10 Pro, Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra and Motorola’s Razr Fold — produced a clear winner, with the Pixel delivering the best overall long-range images.
At roughly 250 feet and 450 feet, the Pixel returned the cleanest processed shots, while Samsung’s images were repeatedly the blurriest and Motorola generally finished second, though it edged the Pixel in one 325-foot stuffed-prize shot.
Samsung’s weakness appeared tied to processing: the reporter said the S26 Ultra showed little visible post-capture cleanup, while the Pixel signaled image processing and the Razr also refined shots after capture.
Night shooting partly narrowed the gap, with Samsung and Motorola producing similarly usable moon photos while the Pixel struggled to lock on and overexposed, but the broader daytime tests still pointed to Samsung lagging rivals in super-resolution zoom.
