Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom merges the functionalities of a smartphone and a camera[1][2] featuring a 10x optical zoom lens (24–240 mm equivalent focal length in 35 mm terms) with an aperture range from f/3.1 to f/6.3, integrated optical image stabilizer, and a conventional xenon flash.[3] This device was launched in July 2013.

Powered by a Pega-Dual +XMM6262 SoC, it incorporates a dual-core 1.5 GHz processor.[4] The lineup includes the base variant SM-C101 and an LTE-enabled model SM-C105.[5]

Equipped with a 1/2.33-inch 16 MP BSI-CMOS sensor, the S4 Zoom offers both automatic and manual camera controls, capturing video at full HD 1080p with 30 fps or at 720p with a smoother 60 fps.[6] It fits within the category of low to mid-range point-and-shoot camera devices.[7][3]

One of its Scene modes allows manual adjustment of exposure duration, ISO sensitivity (up to ISO 3200), aperture size, and white balance,[8] features not available on the main Galaxy S4 model.

The device supports recording slow motion footage at 768×512 resolution with 120 frames per second, surpassing the main Galaxy S4’s 800×450 and the Galaxy Note 2’s 720×480 at the same frame rate. Such slow-motion clips are captured without audio. Additionally, optical zoom can be utilized during video recording.[9]Template:Failed verification[8] During any video recording mode or resolution, the optical zoom movement can be slowed to minimize the mechanical noise from the Zoom Lens Engine.[8] This feature is also present in its successor, the Galaxy K Zoom.[10]

While filming video, users can capture still photos at approximately 3.2 megapixels; however, there is a restriction allowing only up to six snapshots throughout the entire recording session regardless of video length or pause status. Samsung has not publicly explained this limitation.

A rotary dial encircling the zoom lens facilitates optical zoom control[11] and provides quick access to camera mode selection.[3] This rotary ring also supports mounting compatible ring lights designed for macro photography.

Screen

This device features a display identical in specs to the S4 Mini, boasting a qHD resolution (distinct from QHD) of 960×540 pixels and a pixel density of 256 ppi.
The screen employs Super AMOLED technology, a common trait among Samsung's mid-tier and flagship models. It is safeguarded by Gorilla Glass 3,[12] unlike the Gorilla Glass 2 found on the Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2, and Galaxy S4 Active. The main Galaxy S4 model also incorporates Gorilla Glass 3.

Galaxy K Zoom

Released in June 2014 as the successor to the Galaxy S4 Zoom, the Galaxy K Zoom (model SM-C115), also referred to as Galaxy S5 Zoom, features a 20.7-megapixel camera with a 10x optical zoom range (24-240mm) and runs on Android 4.4.2. The 'K' designation stands for "Kapture" or "Kamera", with the tagline "Capture the Moment".

Its removable polycarbonate back cover displays the same dotted texture seen on the Galaxy S5, and it operates on TouchWiz Nature UX 3.0, matching that of the Galaxy S5.

While it does not support 4K (2160p) video recording, it can capture footage at 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second and slow-motion video at 720p with 120 frames per second, albeit without audio.[10]

The camera software includes a "Pro Suggest" feature that recommends optimal camera modes based on the detected scene.[13]

Specifications include 2 GB of RAM, 8 GB internal storage expandable via microSD, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280×720 pixels (306 ppi). It is powered by a hexa-core Exynos 5 Hexa (Exynos 5260) chipset paired with a Mali-T624 GPU, weighing 200 g and measuring up to 20.2 millimeters thick at its bulkiest point.[14][15]

Additional photographic features include separate controls for focus and exposure areas.[16] However, compared to the S4 Zoom, it lacks the ability to use Optical Zoom during Slow Motion video capture. The redesigned K Zoom also omits both the tripod screw thread and the rotating ring surrounding the zoom lens.[10]
