Then, I remembered I had the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in my pocket. Samsung is like the OG of super res zoom, so I decided to grab the same shot. The only problem is that the Samsung shot looked really bad, while the Motorola -- the folding Motorola -- came out crispy. Here are the two, side by side.

Side-by-side shots taken with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (left) and the Motorola Razr Fold (right).

The Samsung sample is blurry and splotchy. The Razr Fold sample looks great on the small screen of the phone, but it gets a bit pixelated when you blow it up to a 100% crop. This is a theme you will notice over time.

When I got home from the Grand Canyon, I wanted to see if this was a one-time thing or if this was a theme. Just for funsies, I added in another phone maker that also boasts super resolution zoom capabilities -- the Pixel 10 Pro. I headed off to my local Six Flags amusement park here in Chicago and found some of the furthest shots I could find.
