Leaked Images: Galaxy S4 Zoom is Essentially a Powerful Camera that Doubles as a Flagship Android Phone [PHOTOS]
How Samsung will fuse all the top-notch features of its Galaxy Camera with the already powerful Galaxy S4? As a new report suggests, it is the other way around.
SamMobile collaborated anew with TechTastic in providing a clear picture on how exactly the Galaxy S4 Zoom will look like. New images - a render and what appeared as actual shots of the unit - pointed to the Galaxy Camera getting the GS4 treatment.
The end-product would be a bulging device, far-removed from the familiar slim and light Galaxy signature profile, though considerably shedding much of the heft seen from the Android-powered digital camera that Samsung released in late 2012.
The GS4 Zoom, according to SamMobile, will draw its power from a dual-core 1.6GHz CPU with a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED screen serving as both the phone screen and the camera view-finder.
As standalone snapper, the GS4 Zoom is a shooter's delight with 16MP sensor plus a 10x optical zoom. Completing the superlative cam menu is image stabilisation that ensures blurring will not waste even a single shot.
The connectivity department offers a plethora of ways to reach the world out there. Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and A-GPS make the GS3 Zoom the ultimate point and share tool in a hybrid make, the latter because the unit processes incoming and outgoing calls.
The camera phone will roll out next month, after a planned June 20 unveiling, with Jelly Bean 4.2.2 that will expectedly use up the device's on-board 8GB storage. However, it allows memory expansion of up to 64GB, which should be sufficient to store loads of high-quality clips and images.
A slight button reconfigure was easily noticeable in the render, with right side of device hosting the power and volume keys, sitting side-by-side, while the camera shutter sits near the bottom end.
Actual unpacking of the Galaxy S4 Zoom takes place in London next week, reports said, where Samsung will also unwrap other GS4 variants such as the Galaxy S4 Mini and the Galaxy S4 Active.
