Obsessed with taking selfies?, but not able to take good ones with your phone? Looks like Samsung has noted your fancy for selfies and launched its camera – centric smartphone – the Galaxy K zoom. This handset combines both a Smartphone with high – end specifications and a camera with zoom – lens. Previously we had Nokia Lumia 1020 with 41 – megapixel sensor but it lacked a retractable zoom lens which has been offered in Samsung K zoom. This camera specialized phone is lighter and thinner compared to the Galaxy S4 zoom that was released last year. The device is another in the line of android powered wifi cameras that also includes Galaxy camera 2 and Galaxy NK.
This camera – cum – Smartphone has been made lighter addressing the complaints about the previous model which was thick and heavy like a good camera but a difficult to handle Smartphone. It uses the same 10x optical zoom but this one is retractable. The device being 200g is still heavier than S5 but 8g lighter than S4 and 1cm thinner. The main rear camera is 20.7 megapixels with ½.3 BSI CMOS sensor. Android KitKat powers the device. It supports 2GB RAM, 3G and LTE, 4.8 inch display with a resolution of 1280x 720 pixels. The processor is Exynos hexacore application processor by Samsung which packs both 1.7GHz dual – core and 1.3GHz quad – core.
The improvement is reflected in the device’s powerful processor, long lasting battery, larger screen and higher pixel density. The back plate is perforated representing its release time. Samsung has packed features such as auto – exposure separation, optical image stabilizer and auto – focus for enhancing photography. Instead of the usual LED flash, it uses a xenon flash. For making it easy to time selfies, the device has borrowed the selfie alarm feature from Galaxy camera 2.
