Abstract: Is the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom a brilliant phone or a brilliant camera? It has the components to be both, but this is a device that is currently less than the sum of its parts.Based on the S4 Mini mobile, the S4 Zoom offers a 10x optical zoom, and from ...
Unique optical zoom; Decent overall image quality; Good low-light photos
Chubby body makes it very cumbersome to carry around; Poor performance from dual-core processor; Low-resolution screen; Zoom ring is awkward to use; Annoying sound when zooming while filming
The Galaxy S4 Zoom is the only smart phone with an optical zoom -- a 10x one, in front of an impressive 16-megapixel sensor. Far from being the ideal camera phone though, it's let down by its fat, awkward body, unimpressive performance and low-resoluti...

Outstanding camera with optical zoom, Touch Wiz interface, expandable memory, decent battery life
Bulky and heavy, not as fast as it should be, only 8GB onboard memory
Let's be clear, while it has all the power and features of a decent midrange Android smartphone, the S4 Zoom is more of a camera with phone features rather than a phone with enhanced photo ability. It's shaped and weighted like a camera, and isn't very ...

Responsive camera, physical controls make for ease of camera use, microSD card slot for expansion, Android OS is snappy, perfect for sharing shots on the go, optical image stabilisation works well, better screen resolution than a compact camera
Physical camera controls make it horrible to hold as a phone, shiny plastic exterior build, autofocus at 10x can be hit and miss, has lost sight that it should be a phone first and foremost, limited screen resolution
As a phone the S4 Zoom has us equally as charmed as the S4 Mini - it's snappy, great to use, has plenty enough power and is a decent size. As a camera the S4 Zoom performs like a reasonable 16MP, 10x optical zoom compact camera too. Married together...
Given the generally lackluster nature of mobile phone cameras, using the Galaxy S4 Zoom is something of a revelation. Samsung has essentially fused a capable point-and-shoot lens onto the back of a smartphone, and the difference is like night and day. Shots are detailed and colourful, and the x10 optical zoom (unheard of on mobiles until now) allows you to zone-in on your subject without losing c
While it’s genuinely refreshing to take photos on a phone with the same level of competence you’d expect to see in dedicated hardware, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom still feels a little bit like a compromise. As a camera, it beats its phone-based rivals but can’t hope to match the best point-and-shoot compact snappers on the market.And as a phone, it feels very much like last year’s tech. The 1.5GHz
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is a curious hybrid device which practically begs you to like it the moment you take it out of the box. There’s something appealing about a phone which takes image capture so seriously, but it takes a dedicated photo-lover to...
We really want to like the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom but we're just not sure there's a gap in the market for it. If the camera or phone part was better or the price tag was lower then it would make sense, but right now it's a poor compact married to a mid-ra...
Abstract: Shortly after Samsung released the Android-powered Galaxy Camera, it revealed that it had more plans for snappers featuring Google's operating system. We'll be seeing some of those throughout 2013, but one has taken the idea one step further. As well as o...
An excellent camera with 10x zoom, Useful camera scene modes, Comes with Android 4.2.2
Low res screen, Bulky design, Slight lag in performance
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is a great smartphone/camera hybrid – it's a decent mid-range smartphone and camera delivers where it counts. We can't recommend it to everyone, but if you love the idea then you'll love the S4 Zoom.Next, find out which phones w...
Samsung Galaxy Zoom NO ES UN SMARTPHOE, esa es nuestra conclusión principal, si lo tratamos como tal es el smartphone más incomodo hasta el momento, es un smartphone que está destinado a ser secundario, o bien para alguien que trabaje todo el día con una...

Abstract: Físicamente, el terminal se parece bastante al famoso ‘Galaxy Camera’ que ya presentó Samsung anteriormente. Sin embargo, éste es también un móvil con el que podemos realizar llamadas de voz; ya que incorpora un sistema celular 3G que también permite subi...
