The Samsung Galaxy K Zoom (formerly known as the Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom before being announced) is an Android-based smartphone manufactured, developed and designed by Samsung Electronics, and is the successor to the Galaxy S4 Zoom. It was unveiled on April 29, 2014, and released on May 31, 2014. It comes with a 10x zoom camera (24-240mm) with 20.7 megapixels, with Android 4.4.2. The Galaxy K Zoom also utilizes the letter "K" for "Kapture" or "Kamera". Its slogan is "Capture the Moment". History Its removable polycarbonate rear cover has the same dotted pattern as the Galaxy S5, and it shares the same version of TouchWiz (Nature UX 3.0).
Although lacking 4K (2160p) video, it supports video recording with 1080p at 60 frames per second and slow motion 720p at 120 frames per second, the latter without audio.
Its camera software features a "Pro Suggest" mode that automatically suggests the appropriate camera modes for the current scene.
The K Zoom has 2 GB RAM, 8 GB built-in flash, microSD, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, 4.8 inch 1280×720 px Super AMOLED (306 ppi), 6-core Exynos 5 Hexa (Exynos 5260) SoC, Mali-T624 GPU, 200 g and 20.2 millimeters at thickest point.
It has additional camera controls such as the ability to separate focus and exposure areas. A disadvantage in comparison to the S4 Zoom is that one can't use the Optical Zoom, while recording Slow Motion Videos. The new design of the K Zoom also removed the camera tripod screw thread and the rotary ring around the zoom lens. References
