Spotted: Samsung Galaxy K Zoom

The new Samsung Galaxy K Zoom camera phone has been spotted!

It looks like S4 at front and has S5 perforated dotted back design. Samsung also made away the camera grip that was on the previous zoom which should shed few inches off its waist and would be considered a camera phone.

The Galaxy K Zoom sports a 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED Display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It is a nice update to 4.3 inch qHD display on the previous zoom.  Powering the device is Hexa-Core Exynos 5260 (1.3 GHz Quad-core Cortex A7 & 1.7 GHz Dual-Core Cortex A15) which should provide more powerful performance than that of the galaxy camera and original zoom. Graphics is provided by Mali-T624 GPU coupled with 2GB RAM and 8GB Internal Storage. For sure you need more storage space, so Samsung graciously provided microSD slot that supports up to 64GB.



You do get arsenal of connectivity features like WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC and MHL-supported MicroUSB port. For Data needs, LTE will provide high speed connectivity so sharing and uploading your outputs is a snap. Battery is at 2430mAh.

Finally, we move it to its major feature - the camera that is a 20.7 MP Auto/Manual Focus 1/2.3'' BSI sensor with 10x optical zoom (24-240mm) and Optical Image Stabilization. Comes with Xenon flash for a more improved lighting for low light captures. Various Modes which includes Pro Suggest, Program, Beauty Face, Shot & More, Panorama, Virtual Tour, HDR, Night, Continuous Shot, Selfie Alarm, Manual and Many more. It also have 2MP front for skype and video-chats. It shoots Full HD 1080p@60fps video recording.

Overall, the new Galaxy Zoom K is great improvement to the S4 Zoom and Galaxy Camera in terms of display and internal hardware though can't say much for camera output because it is likely adjusted to pack more pixels and features plus the Xenon Flash. Wished they had put the ISOCELL technology, the one on the S5, it will surely make a difference.

Anyways, if you are getting one then head on over to Villman (see here) priced for 24,990 Pesos.
