Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is a smartphone with a camera hybrid,

xenon flash.[3]
It was introduced in July 2013.

The phone uses the Samsung Exynos 4212 SoC featuring a 1.5 GHz dualcore CPU.[4] There is a base model, SM-C101, and a variant featuring LTE 4G, SM-C105.[5]

Camera

Its zoom lens with rotary knob

The S4 Zoom uses a 1/2.33-inch 16 MP BSI-CMOS sensor and has both auto and manual camera control, and takes video in 1080p 30 fps (full HD) or 720p at smoother 60 fps.[6] The device can be categorized as a low/mid-end point-and-shoot camera.[7][3]

In one of the Scene modes, the user can set the exposure time, the

Galaxy S4
variant lacks.

It can record

Galaxy Note 2 at that frame rate. Slow motion video is recorded without audio track. One can also use the optical zoom while recording.[9][failed verification][8] While recording video, at any available resolution and frame rate, the optical zoom can optionally be slowed down, to avoid recording the sound of the Zoom Lens mechanism.[8] This also applies to the succeeding Galaxy K Zoom.[10]

While recording video, one can also take still images with around 3.2 megapixels, but only up to 6 pictures during the whole recording, no matter the length or the size of the video, even if this video is paused. Samsung has not given a reason for this limit.

The S4 Zoom has a rotary knob ring around the zoom lens that can be used for optical zooming[11] and to launch the camera from a dedicated mode selector.[3] The rotary ring knob can mount some compatible ring lights for macro photography.

Screen

The screen has the same specifications as the

Galaxy S4
(main model) has Gorilla Glass 3 as well.

Galaxy K Zoom

In June 2014 the successor to the Galaxy S4 Zoom, the Galaxy K Zoom model (SM-C115) - also known as Galaxy S5 Zoom - was released. It comes with a 10x zoom camera (24-240mm) with 20.7 megapixels, with Android 4.4.2. The Galaxy K Zoom also utilizes the letter 'K' for "Kapture" or "Kamera". Its slogan is "Capture the Moment".

Its removable polycarbonate rear cover has the same dotted pattern as the

Galaxy S5, and it shares the same version of TouchWiz (Nature UX 3.0)
.

Although lacking 4K (

2160p) video, it supports video recording with 1080p at 60 frames per second and slow motion 720p at 120 frames per second, the latter without audio.[10]

Its camera software features a "Pro Suggest" mode that automatically suggests the appropriate camera modes for the current scene.[13]

The K Zoom has 2 GB RAM, 8 GB internal storage, microSD card slot, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, 4.8 inch 1280×720 px Super AMOLED (306 ppi), 6-core Exynos 5 Hexa (Exynos 5260) SoC, Mali-T624 GPU, 200 g and 20.2 millimeters at thickest point.[14][15]

It has additional camera controls such as the ability to separate focus and exposure areas.
