  • Samsung has unveiled a new supercharged camera phone, the Galaxy

    K Zoom, with a 20.7-megapixel sensor. It is the follow-up device to

    the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, which was introduced last year, and is

    basically a variation on the Galaxy S5.


    There is a 10x optical zoom on board and Optical Image

    Stabiliser, along with some nifty camera software features

    including a “selfie alarm” to help you take better timed selfies

    and Pro Suggest mode, which allows you apply 10 optimised filters

    to photos. 


    The K Zoom is twice as thick as the S5, but its with a 4.8-inch

    display, the phone falls short of phablet proportions and has an

    ergonomic grip that should make it easier to hold. The screen is

    one of Samsung’s famously bright Super AMOLED panels, and with a

    resolution of 1,280×720 pixels, it should be plenty sharp enough

    for you to edit and upload your photos to social networks, even

    though its 720p rather than Full HD.

    Powering the K Zoom are two separate processors — one quad-core

    1.3GHz chip and a 1.7GHz dual-core chip (why? Not sure, but our

    review will reveal the benefits here) — along with 2GB of RAM.

    There is only 8GB of in-built memory on the K Zoom, which even the

    most casual photographer would quickly exceed. Fortunately there is

    also a microSD card slot, meaning the memory can be expanded by up

    to 64GB — something we’d always recommend taking advantage of. The

    phone runs the latest version of Android, 4.4 KitKat, and has

    pretty much all the new software features introduced with the

    Galaxy S5, including the full S-Health suite.




    Pricing and availability for the K Zoom has yet to be announced.

    We’re already seriously impressed with the S5′s camera skills, so

    we’re excited to see what results the K Zoom can produce when we

    give it the full review treatment ahead of its UK release.
