The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is one of the most peculiar devices that are known so far. Its nature responds to an upper-middle-range smartphone that presents as its main distinguishing feature a powerful 16 megapixel camera that incorporates optical zoom. And when we say optical zoom we mean a small lens that allows magnifications of up to ten times, something unheard of in the market and that has only been compared in an anecdotal device, the Altek Leo, which had a focus of only three times.
This Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, which was presented just a few weeks ago, will begin its European journey from tomorrow, July 11. This is at least suggested by some UK distributors, such as Clove or Carphone Warehouse ”” the chain that in our country we know as The Phone House ””. According to both stores, this device could be acquired imminently, presenting itself with a price ”” says Clove ””, in free format, of almost 443 pounds (about 518 euros, at the current exchange rate). This cost would be consistent with the first indications that began to be had in this regard, which indicated that the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom could be purchased for around 500 euros.
With that price, the South Korean firm would hope to offer users a curious device that, as we say, has in its camera the most powerful argument to differentiate itself from the competition. And not only due to the fact of contact with a high quality and resolution sensor, as well as a zoom capacity that knocks down everything we can see on the market. In addition, it equips a series of utilities that help to make the most of the photographic section. In fact, the lens ring has various accesses and controllers that communicate with the application that manages the operation of the camera, with which we could easily configure real-time shots.
Moreover, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom incorporates a 4.3 - inch screen with 960 x 540 resolution pixels and the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system. In order to function with the solvency it deserves, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom installs a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, and is also backed by a 1.5 GB RAM. Since we are talking about memory, it is convenient to know that this equipment has eight GB, with the option of expansion via microSD card with up to 64 GB as a compatible top.
Despite its attractions, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom raises some skepticism on account of its design. Precisely that makes the sight be deposited these days in what the Finnish Nokia could have up its sleeve. We refer to the rumored Nokia Lumia 909, a terminal that also wants to focus its appeal on the camera, incorporating the PureView sensor that the firm has already installed in the Nokia 808, a unit that boasts 41 megapixels and that, in practice, Get high resolution images and powerful digital zoom. This device could be the star of the event that the company will celebrate tomorrow in New YorkSo that the battle for the phone is served with the best camera on the market.
