Samsung Galaxy K Zoom

Owning a smartphone these days is all about compromise. There is no handset which ticks every box and fulfills every demand of every consumer, and few compromises are larger or more obvious than the size and weight of this phone. The £400 Galaxy K Zoom...

We can see what Samsung set out to achieve with the K-Zoom. A solid Android smartphone with a digital camera lens is no small feat. The K-Zoom, however, veers closer to the latter. In fact it looks like a dated digital camera at best, as newer devices...

The Galaxy K Zoom is the result of Samsung greatly improving on the Galaxy S4 Zoom formula. The S4 was already doing well on the camera front, but really didn't offer the shape and handling of a smartphone. Its successor is just a tiny bit better for...

We had a lot of complaints last year with the Galaxy S4 zoom. Needless to say, most of those issues return on our 2014 K zoom list as well. While Samsung has definitely improved the specifications on paper, it has still not addressed some rather...

Samsung's update to its hybrid Galaxy S4 Zoom camera phone is, like that model, an interesting beast. On the one hand, it provides one of the best pocketable cameras you can find around, and pairs it with some otherwise decent smartphone innards, most of...

While games consoles, sat navs and MP3 players have all seen their existence threatened by smarter and smarter smartphones, the point-and-shoot snapper has always survived, thanks to the fact that protruding lenses don't sit well with streamlined...

Given that the smartphone has already made the traditional compact camera an endangered species, a smartphone with an optical zoom lens should theoretically push such cameras into extinction. Last year's Galaxy S4 Zoom proved there's certainly a...

One chief cause for concern with a phone that carries 10x optical zoom lens, is a potentially bulky chassis, and unfortunately the Galaxy K zoom is not an exception. It's still as butch and hefty as its predecessor, yet the dimensions are bearable,...
