Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom reviews and price in India
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom :-
Samsung has finally launched its newest smartphones Galaxy S4 zoom and Galaxy S4 mini in Indian market yesterday..let's take a close view of the amazing features of Galaxy S4 Zoom..
When it comes to the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the South Korean firm had just taken the excellent Galaxy S4 and bolted the camera from the Galaxy Camera on the back.
In fact it's not done anything close to that - it's actually used the stripped-down Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini as the base for the handset and then bolted a 16MP camera on the back, which has all the usual goodies you'd expect from a decent compact, though isn't as photographically advanced as the new Android-powered Samsung Galaxy NX compact system camera.
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom Specifications:-
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is arguably more camera than phone. It takes the body and smartphone features of the S4 and marries it with a larger sensor and 10x optical zoom, turning what was already a superb camera phone into more of a phone-camera.
There are compromises, though: its 4.3-inch, 960x540-pixel display and 1.5GHz dual-core processor are much less impressive specs than the standard Galaxy S4. Here's hoping the camera tech it's wielding more than makes up for it.
It's running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, which is a nice choice for future-proofing the device. It's also packing a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and a healthy 1.5GB RAM, which showed in our tests, with quick rendering of pictures taken and easily blipping through the phone, opening and shutting apps with skill and speed.

The camera itself is where the Galaxy S4 Zoom actually shines - the phone is OK, but the camera comes out with some really good pictures. The first element is the shutter button that sits on top of the device - we'd expect to see it there, but it's a really nice implementation, with easy focusing through holding it down halfway.
Pros and cons of Galaxy S4 Zoom:-
It will also activate the camera from wherever you are in the phone, which is good given this is what the phone's USP is all about. There's also a spinning ring on the front, something Samsung says is a little 'retro' when it comes to cameras as it enables you to zoom in and out using the 10x optical zoom.
It's also supposed to start up the camera from sleep mode, according to the South Korean firm, but in our tests that didn't seem to work.

User Reviews and opinions:-
A lot of critics didn't see the Note being a success including yourselves! At least Samsung being something to the market that is new and different. If we had a world according to Apple it would be just the iPhone 4S or 5. I bought this in Dubai and it is neither bulky given that it has a proper zoom lens nor is it remotely 'odd'. It is a very pocketable device that takes seriously good pictures on the go in daylight, night or low light. It will sell a few million. Come back in a few months and we will talk then! ;-) -Pawan

Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom Price in India:-
Samsung has finally launched Galaxy S4 zoom and Galaxy S4 mini in the Indian market. The devices have been priced at Rs 27,900 and Rs 29,900 for S4 mini and S4 Zoom respectively.
With so many mobile and plan options, take the time to look around online and in the shops until you find the mobile phone you want for the price you're after.
Verdict:-
It fits in your pocket but still packs the skills of a proper compact camera. Alright, we should say it bulges in your pocket, but if you want that extra quality it's worth risking arrest for indecent behavior We'd imagine the mechanics of the lens aren't too kind on the battery but will let you know when we do our full review soon. A bold and much needed step to improve low light photography for casual users. Now we just have to hope the price isn't 10x the S4.
