Telephoto Lens (n.) A lens with a longer focal length than standard, used for capturing distant subjects. In smartphones, telephoto lenses enable optical zoom, allowing for closer shots without losing image quality. They’re particularly useful for portraits, wildlife, and sports photography. The level of zoom varies between phone models, typically ranging from 2x to 10x optical zoom.
