Galaxy K Zoom is a hybrid device of its own kind. There is literally no alternate available in the market for such kind of hybrid device. This gives you the best of both worlds. It has an excellent 20.7 MP 10X optical zoom camera which gives you best camera shots alongwith optical zoom capability.

It was just about this time last year that we were asking some valid questions about the Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom : Is it a phone? Is it a camera? Who would buy it? Why?!? One year later, its successor has reached the market with the same functionality and almost the same form factor.

The cameras on our smartphones have come a long way over the past several years, and have undoubtedly contributed to making point and shoot cameras obsolete . An important feature from these cameras that aren't easily found with smartphone camera tech though is optical zoom.

10x optical zoom; Solid build quality; Optical image stabilization

Heavy and bulky; Awkward to hold; Bad battery life

This is a suoerb bit of kit..l had its predesesor the s4 zoom .. in fact l still have it but the k zoom is a much better phone.A lot less bulky to carry and takes pics comparable to a good compact camera.I really like the fact you can adjust colour balance etc on the camera.Its also a very capable...

K Zoom is not only a camera with decent zoom capability but is also a phone with decent innards that performs well, almost as well as its slimmer, costlier water resistant sibling. With a single button the phone transforms itself into a digital camera.

High zoom with Xenon flash; TouchWiz works lag-free; Decent built

Bulky; Not high-end as a point and shoot

What an awesome phone! I previously had a Samsung Note 2, which has a bigger screen than the K Zoom. I love this phone, because I normally carry a separate camera with me on walks. I hike a lot!

Last year, after launching the hot-selling GALAXY S4, Samsung went on to create spin-offs of their flagship device, one of which was the GALAXY S4 Zoom that was designed to cater to the crowd who loves taking photos with their smartphones.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S4 zoom last year, to place their bets on the cameraphone market. It didn't work out so well, as the S4 zoom was basically two devices slapped on together.

Massive improvements in usability compared to the S4 zoom; Above average AMOLED display; Snappy performance; Point and shoot camera performance

Camera is unstable sometimes; has bugs; Battery life is average; doesn't meet expectations; Still thick and huge when compared to a normal cameraphone; Mid-range specifications – no 4K; sensor is still 1/2.3

The Samsung Galaxy K Zoom is not something that I would automatically reject. The camera works well, but the rest of the phone isn't too impressive. It is pretty cool when it comes to general camera performance and you can also use it as a phone.
