News & Reviews:   Samsung Galaxy K Zoom

The upcoming successor to the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom which was earlier thought to be called the Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom could be called the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom with camera samples of the cameraphone already appearing. The EXIF data in the picture states that the device has the model number of Samsung SM-C115. It also reveals tech specs like a 20MP camera sensor at a 4:3 aspect ratio along with 4mm focal length, f/3.1 aperture, 1/50s shutter speed and ISO 80. Unconfirmed tech specs and features include a 10x optical zoom and a zoom lens that doesn't stick out so much along with xenon flash, a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED screen and a hexa-core Samsung Exynos processor. Said to be coming with Android 4.4.2 KitKat, the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom could be coming as early as 29 April 2014 at the Kapture the Moment event in Singapore. No news yet on Malaysia pricing or release dates but we'll keep you posted.

We've already seen leaked tech specs on paper of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom but now there is a picture of it and a possible name as well. Going as the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom, this Samsung Galaxy S5 variant will apparently have an artificial leather backside. As promised, the Zoom lens isn't as prominent (read, sticking out) as before but it is a bit difficult to judge how much based on the angle of the image. Tech specs for the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom are expected to start with a 1.6GHz quad-core processor or a 1.3GHz Samsung Exynos 5 Hexa processor with ARM Mali T624 graphics, a 4.8-inch display, 2GB RAM and Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat. The camera sensor will be 20MP and come with 10x optical zoom and Xenon flash. Still no news on pricing or Malaysia release dates but with the image already leaked we're expecting very soon, or at least within Q2 of 2014.
