Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd launched GALAXY S4 Zoom today. The phone is being seen as the amalgamation of the company’s flagship #-Link-Snipped-# and the <a href="https://www.crazyengineers.com/threads/samsung-galaxy-camera-launched-in-india-pricing-will-be-revealed-later-around-diwali.66642">Samsung Galaxy Camera Launched In India. Pricing Will Be Revealed Later, Around Diwali.</a>. The Android (4.2) Jelly Bean smartphone is equipped with 16MP BSI CMOS Sensor with 10x Optical zoom and optical image stabilisation. Another feature that Samsung wants to focus our attention is the Zoom Ring. The zoom ring present in the rear camera can be used to capture and share the photo during a call to the caller. The zoom ring also simplifies the camera as it can activate Quick Launch and Shortcut features along with camera modes like Auto, Gallery and Smart Mode.

    Let me predict. This is gonna be Samsung's next flop 😁

    Even Galaxy S4 didn't make a huge impact!

    Innovations are cool but still the price can be reduced to a level affordable for Gadget freaks

    by looking at design and weight, quite possible it is gonna be a flop show, however it would definitely trigger a new idea of integrating high end phones with high end camera features.

    Not sure if with NOTE 3, Samsung comes up with a feature of Note 2 and facility of a DSLR camera (as rumored). Or who knows Apple steals the idea, and comes up with something mind boggling (as they are the best whatever they do - doesn't matter they steal the idea or not.... 😁 )

    It would have made sense if they said it was a camera with the abilities to make phone calls rather than a phone with huge lens and huge body! 😁

    I'm waiting for that day, when cell phones will come with an inbuilt rocket launcher 😁
