Samsung Galaxy K Zoom
This phone is a bit like a solution looking for a problem. I’m trying to work out what market this phone is aiming for, and it’s not easy to identify. Essentially, it’s a camera with a phone attached. This means that if you are ready to drop your prosumer camera and have it conjoined toyour phone, or you are a phone junkie that just has to have a biggest camera on the market, this is the one for you. There are other camera phones that also do a good (if not better) job of all the above (the Galaxy S4 Zoom and the Nokia Lumia 1020) with less hardware. Well, you make up your own mind, but I don’t think mum would want one, Dad might and the kids want other bell and whistles.
Camera
So on to the phone then. The camera is a 20.7 MP behemoth that has an10 inch optical zoom and image stabilisation. Sadly, there is no 4K wonderment here, which is a pity, given the opportunities this phone opens up to the manufacturer. It also has a rather low power battery at 2430MHa to keep everything up and running.
The camera tends to overexpose subjects but comes in three modes:
The camera…I mean phone has a 4.8” screen in Super Amoled, runs KitKat 4.4.2 and has what it terms a hexa core processor, which is essentially 2 x quadcore 1.3 GHz processor with a dual core 1.7 GHz processor for normal duty. This also allows14 hours of talk time.
Conclusion
You’ll have to make up your own mind on this one; I’m a little flummoxed…400 GBP can buy you a really decent camera with much better photo taking abilities, so why spend it on a phone that wants to be a prosumer camera as well, that has lesser abilities?
