The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom's advanced controls and preset modes are easy to use. Its top-notch image quality, optical zoom, and a tripod mount make it the most flexible smartphone camera there is. Android 4.2 helps keep the device fresh and connected
Heavy, thick, and asymmetrical, the camera-shaped Zoom is incredibly awkward and uncomfortable to use as a phone
Buy the Zoom if you'd like a flexible two-in-one camera/smartphone, no matter the size. But enthusiasts should stick to standalone shooters, and slimmer smartphones -- like the arguably better Nokia Lumia 1020 -- will satisfy most photo needs.

Powerful 10x optical zoom lens, Myriad camera options, Helpful camera tutorials, Bright, vibrant display, Image quality suffers in Auto mode
Slow camera, Not available in U.S, Heavy, Uncomfortable to hold for long periods, Below average battery life, No LTE
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom has a powerful camera and granular controls for getting the best shot, but its large 10x zoom lens makes this Android smartphone heavy and awkward to hold....

optical zoom lens, good battery life, solid camera performance, microSD expansion
no LED notification light, qHD resolution, 8GB internal storage (only 5GB accessible), processor could have been faster, too bulky for some, shutter button won't wake the device, same old Samsung design and materials,
regardless of how much Samsung would like you to believe otherwise, we think that the Galaxy S4 Zoom is a camera with a phone slapped on it, rather than a Galaxy S 4 (with which it has nothing in common) with a zoom lens...

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is a smartphone with a rather sizable camera on its back. While you’ll find this machine appearing to want o take the place of the Samsung Galaxy Camera, we’ve found it to be attempting to carve out a different category entir...
Abstract: Aaron reviews the Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom , the camera-centric member of the Galaxy S 4 clan. Essentially the fusion of a Galaxy S4 mini and Galaxy Camera, the S4 zoom offers a 1.5 GHz dual-core Cortex A9 CPU, 4.3-inch qHD display (540x960 pixels) with 256...
Abstract: Is it a smartphone? Is it a camera? Actually, it is an amalgamation of both, and it is known as the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom. This peculiar device has the guts of a modern-day smartphone, and as a matter of fact, it packs enough punch to be anyone's dai...
Good valueformoney for a convergence device, Very good pictures and video, including in lowlight, 10x optical zoom performs very well
Bulky and challenging for onehanded use, Low OLED screen brightness makes it hard to frame a shot outside
The minute you hold the Galaxy S4 Zoom, it becomes clear that Samsung has done more of a compact camera with phone functions, rather than a cameraphone conceived from the ground up with mobility in mind. It is quite bulky because of the 10x zoom lens, ...
Very cool idea, Only phone with 10x optical zoom, MicroSD card support
Uncomfortable to hold, and bulky, Zoom wheel will annoy you, Weak processing power, Camera zoom doesn't work with all apps, Photos didn't look better than iPhone 5S, No full SD support, No external battery charging
There will be a group of people that really like the Galaxy S4 Zoom, cling to it, and defend it rigorously. It will have a cult following. But like the Galaxy Cam, it's kind of a strange tweener product. It's too bulky and slow to be a great Android phone...
