Commenting on the launch, Mr. Asim Warsi, V.P, Marketing, Mobile & IT at Samsung India“With the launch of Galaxy K zoom, Samsung brings consumers a unique combination of a stylish smartphone with advanced photography capabilities. Equipped with excellent image processing apps, new Galaxy K zoom enables users to swiftly capture and share their memorable moments with ease.”
Galaxy K zoom offers an advanced technical camera system designed to offer the control and functionality of a professional camera. It is equipped with new retracting lens technology that provides 10x optical zoom in a remarkably slim body. Other notable features include the 20.7 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor for ultra-clear, ultra-detailed images. It excels in low light conditions, and provides Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) to reduce blur caused by movement. These specifications ensure the device delivers pictures and video (Full HD) that are crisp and sharp. In addition, the device’s Xenon Flash provides a brighter light than LEDs to improve the quality of the image with natural brilliance.
The new device also integrates the most advanced camera usability features and functions, including AF/AE Separation (Auto Focus/ Auto Exposure Separation) for the precise balance of light and clarity, Pro Suggest mode which offers 5 optimized filter settings, Selfie Alarm that allows users to take timed selfies with ease, and object tracking for a clear, focused shot of a moving subject. Each feature comes with a simple User Interface, allowing users to easily capture photos and videos.
The perforated plastic back makes a welcome appearance on the Galaxy K Zoom. The screen resolution of the device is 720p which is quite low considering the fact that the 20MP photograph shots clicked by the camera module would not look that good at this screen.
Pricing and Availability
The Galaxy K zoom will be available in India from 9 July 2014 at INR 29,999 exclusively on www.amazon.in. The new smartphone will be available in three colour options including Charcoal Black, Electric Blue and Shimmery White.
