The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom w/ 10x Zoom
Samsung has officially announced its latest Android-powered camera-phone and it's called the Galaxy S4 Zoom. As the name implies, it is a hybrid between the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and a point-and-shoot Samsung camera. The Galaxy S4 Zoom combines smartphone functionality with a zoom lens and a xenon flash.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom packs a
4.3" Super AMOLED display of qHD resolution (960 x 540 pixels) protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It sports a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and 1.5GB RAM. It is also
thicker than the Galaxy S4 mini at 125.5 mm x 63.5 mm x 15.4 mm. It's also heavier at 208 grams. This camera-centric smartphone runs Android 4.2.2 with Samsung's TouchWiz UI on top.

Of course, photography is the specialty of the Galaxy S4 Zoom. A 10x zoom lens with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) sits in front of a
16-MP sensor. At the wide end, the lens has a very wide 24 mm in 35 mm
equivalent, the aperture goes from f/3.1 to f/6.3 and there's a
mechanical shutter. The Galaxy S4 Zoom also has a control ring around the
lens like some high-end point-and-shoots do, a xenon flash and LED
light. It is capable of 1080p Full HD video recording @ 30fps (and
720p @ 60fps).

The Galaxy S4 Zoom's battery has 2,330 mAh capacity, which seems sufficient for a
day's use of the smartphone with some occasional picture-taking. The internal memory is 8GB, expandable by up to 64GB via the
hot-swappable microSD card slot. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi
a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, and A-GPS. The Samsung S4 Zoom can make phone calls and supports 3G with HSPA and even LTE connectivity.

So what do you think of the Galaxy S4 Zoom? While its specs are high-end, I can't help but loathe its cheap-looking camera panel.
