The standout camera is the 3x 72mm periscope, which is equipped with a 64MP sensors (0.7µm pixels) and a bright f/2.4 aperture.

You can't just throw the word periscope in there with no explanation unless this phone also comes with sonar and torpedoes

Periscope is a type of zoom lens that has been used in smartphones for a while. Here's an android police article on the subject: https://www.androidpolice.com/how-periscope-cameras-work/

Wow, never heard of that before. Actually a really interesting article, cheers!

My note 20 ultra has it. It's super cool to get zoom on a low profile camera like whats needed in a phone, because digital zoom is kind of BS.

Between my 5x periscope and the digital zoom I can be like 50 feet away from a light switch and tell you what kind of screws are holding the cover plate on.
