Many Android phones today offer a few preset zoom levels in the camera app, and you’ll often find 0.6x (or 0.5x), 1x, and 2x options at the very least. Some phones also offer telephoto cameras for even more robust zoom options in the viewfinder.

That got us wondering whether you stick with these preset options or if you freely zoom and stop on whatever zoom level you want. Let us know via the poll below and leave a comment if you’d like to elaborate.
