1. People hardly ever use 10x zoom
  2. 10x optical zoom is hard to stabilize
  3. Aperture trumps zoom

    It looks awful on devices that have optical zoom, too. There isn’t enough light for computational photography to bail out the shitty physics of any of them.

    Seriously, getting something serviceable out of 1x on a bright day out of that little tiny sensor and lens already takes a boatload of math. The input data isn’t good.

      I would accept that as an explanation if it was the one they gave.
