So perhaps the K zoom will be sold for around $500 when it lands in the US - despite the fact that €499 means around $690 at today’s exchange rates.
Besides having a possibly great camera on the back, the Samsung Galaxy K zoom offers all the features that you’d expect from a good mid-range smartphone, including: a 4.8 inch 720p Super AMOLED display, LTE connectivity, hexa-core Exynos 5 processor, 2GB of RAM, 8GB of internal memory, microSD card support, and a 2,430 mAh battery.
The Samsung Galaxy K zoom will be available in three color versions: black, white, and blue. Is anyone looking forward to buying it?

Yup. Its called amoled which is the same screen technology used by Lumia 1020. Now imagine over-saturated image on an over-saturated screen. Get the picture ? :)
Unlike SS Lumia don't have the feature to switch to Adobe RGB which produces THE most accurate screen (even better then LCDs):http://www.phonearena.com/news/UL-certifies-the-4.99-FHD-display-on-the-Samsung-Galaxy-S4_id43874

'Wait so are justifying your comment?'
Weren't you the one who went off topic and took a sling at SS's screen tech on a camera article ? I was merely replying not justifying.
'Since when does my pics on my wife's 1020 stay on the phone? Lol okay.. '
Its upto you what you do with your wife's pic. You may enlarge it hang t above your bed or you may keep it in your wallet its upto you. But whenever you take ur picture through your smartphone your first reference point is from that phone's display on the basis of which you judge the picture and decide to share. Not to mention most people would want to view your wife's photo on their mobile. ;)
also using PA as a screen reference?
If you actually bothered to click on the link you'd realize its not PA's reference, PA merely reported the news. What if I give you displaymate's link would you believe that or you'll find a excuse to disregard that too ?
'Why stop there...SS screen tech it not at all what I would consider the best isn't about my preferences.'
Its YOUR opinion the experts beg to differ.http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_S5_ShootOut_1.htm
do you let others tell you what is better?
No. That's why I bought my GS5 before any review came out. I went instore and fell in love with its gorgeous display.
'nuff said.

I'm not getting into your copy reply fest but my reply was to your jab at Lumia devices... Ss makes everything over saturated but you still jab at lumias.. Its pathetic that you need to justify your love of Ss by taking jabs at others. Glad you love your phone but a screen is only as good as preferences no matter what scientific bs that you try and feed everyone.

And have you owned a lumia phone? I can adjust colours as what i want on my Lumia 925. However, i have to say that the Galaxy K zoom looks much better than its previous predecessor. If the price is reasonable, i will get one too as i prefer android to wp

I thought I wanted to trade in my Note 3 for the Galaxy K Zoom....
Now there's no doubt in my mind. If AT&T brings on the K Zoom. I'm getting one immediately!! I want this phone! 20 MP, 10x optical zoom, OIS and not crappy hardware... I'm sold! TAKE MY MONEY!!!

The price really needs to be kept down. The camera, for most purposes, is markedly inferior to the Sony RX100 and other top quality small cameras. While the addition of Android warrants some price increase, not many people will pay for too much price increase. Otherwise they will just get a very good camera and a very nice phone instead of this combo.
If we get $499 in the US without contract, that is about right. $400-450 would be better as that is the range of the existing S4 Zoom.

This phone is not a common mid-range phone. Exynos 5260 is much much better than Ssnapdragon S600 while the best mid-range phone now utilizing Quad-core Cortex A7 Snapdragon S400 The screen is RGB Super Smoled 720 with more than 300ppi- crisp enough.
