Samsung Galaxy S10 vs Galaxy S10+ vs Galaxy S10e camera

For the imaging needs, the South Korean company has loaded triple camera setups on both Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ with dual optical image stabilisation (OIS) support. To detail the setup, there is going to be a 12-megapixel sensor with a telephoto f2.4 auto-focus lens, a 12-megapixel sensor with wide-angle f1.5/ f2.4 auto-focus lens, and a 16-megapixel sensor with ultra-wide-angle f2.2 fixed-focus lens. Both camera setups support 0.5x to 2x optical zoom and up to 10x digital zoom. The Galaxy S10e's dual-camera setup is missing the 12-megapixel sensor with telephoto lens, present in the Galaxy S10, and hence there is a lack of 2x optical zoom support.
