Last year's Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom had plenty of things right with it
But it was simply far too big to really fit in your pocket. This time around

Samsung's slimmed down last year's model with the K Zoom
But it's still very bulky. It measures up a hefty 20mm at its thickest point
More than double LG's flagship G3
And it also weighs up at 200g
So it's not the easiest blower to cart around. Thanks
It's bulky and heavy
Making it awkward for everyday use
While its overall image quality doesn't particularly impress and it has a disappointingly low resolution display
Camera components still make it feel horrible as a phone
Mere 8GB internal storage
Zoom button placement feels off
Some image processing and lens sharpness issues
No aperture/shutter priority modes
Very bulky
Not ideal ergonomics for a camera
Chunky build
Excessive camera features
Screen resolution lower than others
Poor internal storage
No UHD/4K video capture
It's all a bit bulkier than an average smartphone
The loss of picture quality in the corners of photos

It's probably a long time since you owned a phone as chunky as this, so it will take a bit of getting used to. Because of its size, it feels like a step backwards in terms of design, but if it means you don't need to take a camera everywhere you go, perha...

Samsung Galaxy K Zoom is a camera centric smartphone. If you're looking for a smartphone that can take photos similar to the quality of point-and-shoot then better get this one. This smartphone is actually handy if you don't want to bring your camera on p...

With the Galaxy K zoom, it is obvious that Samsung wants to come up with a camera-centric smartphone that feels more like of a smartphone than a digital camera. Hence, the Galaxy K zoom arrived with a slimmer profile than the Galaxy S4 zoom, along with a...
