That's because most reviews are inaccurate, for example trusted reviews state you can't change shutter speed and other manual controls when you can.
Other sites have made a lot of errors in their reviews.
It's the best android camera phone, the S5 can't compete with it due to lack of OIS, optical zoom and xenon. |

Here I come, just a simply comparison for LOW LIGHT & HIGH ISO PERFORMANCE
S4 Zoom VS K Zoom
K zoom Auto Mode (this is to show you how dark our naked eye look like )
K zoom Long exposure, 10s, ISO100
S4 zoom Long exposure, 10s, ISO100
K zoom High ISO3200, exposure 1.0s (crop below)
S4 zoom High ISO3200, exposure 1.0s (crop below)
K zoom x10zoom, ISO800 (* note: the red box color is same as the next photo vitagen red)
S4 zoom x10zoom, ISO800
Here we can see that K zoom color are more close to real life, but a bit oversaturated. For s4 zoom, the color washout. Meanwhile, I feel that OIS for s4 zoom are bit much better than K zoom.
More shot from K zoom 
ISO800, 1/10s, x10 zoom
ISO800, 1/8s, ~x7 zoom
Found that at high ISO, K zoom perform well, below photo are all taken with ISO1600
Crop in!
Highest ISO3200, 1/350s (in door)

Great comparison... Thanks for sharing
Please could you tell me in your opinion which machine provides the best image quality to the day ?
And also which machine provides the best image quality at night ?
Finally there was some improvement in the front camera ? The focal aperture is the same f/2.8 ?
Again, thanks for the information |

The front camera F2.45, for better selfie, I suggest use back cam, it perform good
now I still quite busy to test for it, but I'm sure that K zoom is better than s4 Zoom.
I never try on nokia 808, 1020.. I can't comment.
My first impression for K zoom (camera) is the high ISO performance was the best among all phone I had used before (n8, galaxy s3, note 2, xperia Z1, s4 Zoom), where at ISO3200, K zoom picture still usable (recommend ISO1600).
In term of camera speed, K zoom, its focus really fast ( I got compare side by side with s5, found it is faster). It take around 1-2s for next photo shot.
But for OIS performance, I believe K zoom still can improve, as s4 zoom do perform better than it.
In term of white balance & sharpness, K zoom do well for white balance especially low light and in door photo. Sharpness level is not high in k zoom, just at the right place ( not over sharpen like s4 zoom & s5)
If you know to tune the setting (WB, ISO, metering, use advantage of the zoom len) you can take a very nice photo with K zoom
