Samsung Galaxy K

Worth of buying?

Samsung Galaxy K Zoom is a new 'super-camera-phone' after the previous release of Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom and it is the successor of it. However, the Galaxy K Zoom has not released world-wide yet and has only launched in certain markets. There is no word on when or if it will be available everywhere, but it’s already gone on sale across the pond in the UK.


Take a look at the review of Samsung Galaxy K Zoom







Samsung Galaxy K Zoom has a more enhanced camera zoom option. It also has optical zoom, which means the lens physically zooms in and out. The availability of this device has obvious advantages and disadvantages, like the added bulk and much better camera sensor. The device has 4.8-inch 720P super AMOLED display , 2GB of RAM with a hexa-core Exynos processor . The camera has the 10x optical zoom accompanied with 20.7MP and a Xenon flash.

My Opinion

In my opinion this is a good phone but the size of the phone is hard to be place in a pocket due to the wedge design of the phone. Besides that, the weight of the 200g and it is pretty heavy. So I think this phone isn't worth to buy due to it high end camera which you can have it way better by buying a DSLR or a digital camera. Besides, it only have 1GB of RAM in which I don't think it can process a good quality image taken by it's camera in a short time.

  1. Honestly, am not so keen on having a phone with such camera @@
    I mean, it's great but the thought of it makes the phone seem heavy.
    Phones are meant to be light, and very much mobile, but at this point,
    it might as well become a camera rather than a phone-camera
