Description

The Samsung Galaxy K zoom has drawn inspiration from the Galaxy S5 as it features the flagship's distinct perforated pattern and shimmering finish. What's new, however, is the dedicated camera button on the side, which is a must-have for any camera-centric handset.The screen on the Samsung Galaxy K zoom measures 4.8 inches in diagonal. It is Super AMOLED with resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels. Under the hood of the Samsung Galaxy K zoom beats a hexa-core SoC – an Exynos 5 model featuring a 1.3 GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 setup handling lighter tasks and a 1.7 GHz dual-core Cortex-A15 CPU which kicks in when extra power is needed. Two gigs of RAM have also been thrown in for good measure. On-board storage capacity is limited to only 8 gigs, but a microSD card slot allows that to be expanded with cards of at least 64 gigabytes. As for the most exciting part of the equation – the device's camera – Samsung has chosen to go with a 20.7MP BSI CMOS camera sensor that is 1/2.3" in size. Furthermore, the Galaxy K zoom packs a powerful xenon flash accompanied by an assistive LED light, just like its predecessor.

This device is also known as Samsung SM-C115, Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom

A great 'camera' phone

Edited: Nov 26, 2015, 7:57 AM

Phone owned for less than a year

I have had this phone for an year, and this is what I think:
1 - The build quality is good enough, with good heft in the hand, but the plastic does feel a bit cheap. And it is a bit heavy, due to the big camera.
2 - Display:-
Display is great, with great colours that pop out, but the peak brightness is a bit low.
3 - User Interface:-
The software is 4.4.2 Android, with touchwiz UI mounted on it. The UI runs very smooth and lag free, due to the hexa core processor. Even games like Real Racing 3 ran very smoothly on the phone. The biggest issue is NO SOFTWARE UPDATE. And also, the internal memory is ridiculously low for an android smartphone - it gets filled up with apps really quickly.
4 - Camera:-
This is the best part of the phone. The optical zoom means that the level of closeness you get to a subject if shot is INSANE. the clarity of the shots at full resolution is outstanding. And also, the shutter speed is very good. There are also a number of shooting modes to suit your fancy. And a lot of effects can be applied in the studio app, which is bundled in the phone. All this is a great thing to have on a phone, if you are a shutterbug. However, in auto mode, the flash kicks in way too quickly, but this can be solved by manually switching off the flash. Otherwise, a brillant camera for a phone.
5 - Battery:-
Battery life is surprisingly good for this phone. I can get a full day, with moderate to heavy usage.
Overall, it is a great camera phone. A must have phone for Shutterbugs

Best camera phone you can get and a big improvement over the last generation design

Edited: Sep 27, 2014, 5:24 AM

Phone owned for less than a year

I've owned many smartphones over the years (iOS, Android and WP) and this one currently stands as my favorite. If you're into photography, there's no better phone out there for that at the moment. Even the 41MP camera of the Nokia 1020 is no match for the optical zoom that the K Zoom provides. It opens up so many more possibilities for photos and videos. Samsung also did a great job with the new design over the old S4 Zoom. This one is much more ergonomic and slimmed down in comparison. The curved back feels great in the hand. Make sure you get a case with a lens cover though to help protect the lens and keep dust out.
