No needs long range 10x zoom in real life , 3x is more usable and better for optic specs. K Zoom not is the Best cameraphone , not is simply Best , but is nice toy. I want try it  |

Its totally different.. its one thing to zoom in to a 41Mpix shots and another to optically zoom in using glass elements. The 1020/808 concept works great for a smartphone since there are no movable parts, which results in a more compact, lighter, and physically more reliable package.. but it can't compete with real zoom lenses in terms of magnification and quality retention.

We can go even further back to Samsungs 1st Optical Zoom phone, the Symbian S60 based G810:

G810 has clever optical scheme, without outside moving parts - same as Vario Tessar Lens

It's was much like the Nokia N93, the moving parts were inside, if I'm not mistaken G810 owners did complain of the camera making a noise if you're zooming while recording a video, it would ruin the sound.
Either way, Samsung have been pursuing this for a long time, I can't wait until the day they bring all this into one beast of a flagship once all the tech is refined.

It's thick but not bad looking.
This will be my next cause my s5 begin to struggle at iso 80 (blurry shake) |

I'm very tempted to get one too, the OIS, 10x zoom, it's not too thick or too heavy and it's got Xenon and reasonable specs so if it's out before I go on holiday at the end of June then I'll be getting one and I can test it out properly when I go away. |

It does look great huh ? I wasn't impressed by last years S4 Zoom, but this is much nicer.
I still don't think i'll have the spare cash to buy one though, anytime soon, ever !
Check me out on Instagram ! search for etaab ! |

I know a couple of people who have the S4 Zoom and it's not as bad to use as you might think, these days people take pictures with tablets and all sorts, a lot of people who say bad things about the S4 zoom have never used one or looked at one, it's not perfect and it's quite bulky but it does rival a mid range compact camera for quality.
The K Zoom is a big improvement though and they have done a very good job slimming it down, if you want a very good camera and phone together I don't see a better alternative especially as it will be the best all round camera on Android.
When there's OIS and Xenon Flash along with proper zoom there's no competition, it's my ideal device. |

wider than the 808 and it shows very good sharpness/detail in the middle of the frame.

I always wondered who would be the first manufacturer to release a phone with folded optics like Sony The series cameras?? I know that folded optics generally produce worse images but I wondered if Samsung would ever do that.
Phone?? What phone?? |

Samples not good , not bad - simply cheap compact camera quality. I would take K-Zoom only as funny toy , I would......
