Since the launch of the Big.Little architecture, there are two different SoC philosophies: on the one hand, for example, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 801, which relies on four equivalent CPU cores, on the other hand, solutions such as the Galaxy K zoom's Exynos 5260 with its different CPU types.

high processing quality; camera with clearly above-average results; very good battery life; faster SoC; battery exchangeable; memory expandable

no tripod thread; bulkier than its predecessor when used as camera; no RAW support; large case and high weight

This was the lowest price around for this phone. Love the zoom. Pictures come out really nice and there are a lot of different camera options, as many as I would use on a regular camera. The rest of the phone works well for messages and apps. Good battery life if you're not on apps all day.

Phone calls and as an excellent camera

I love photography but hate to carry a bulky camera everywhere with me, the samsung Galaxy K Zoom came to my rescue and how! Coming from a leading smartphone maker like Samsung, this is firstly a greaat android smartphone but above all its equipped with a stellar camera with 10X optical zoom!

I bought this phone as I was looking for a mobile with excellent/very good camera; this made more sense as it came with 10x optical zoom and less than 25,000 without compromising on hard-ware. >It is a bit chunky by current standards and weighing at 200 gms you can feel the bulk. With 4.8 " screen.

By no means the perfect combination of a smartphone and zoom lens, the K Zoom isn’t half bad. It’s capable of great photos and videos in the right conditions. This isn’t a device for everyone, but if the “zoom camera with a built-in smartphone” concept appeals to you and you don’t mind the size and weight, it’s currently your best option.
