Samsung Galaxy K Zoom Review

(SM-C115) Score: 70.3 / 100

Samsung Galaxy K Zoom is a completely fascinating phone released some years ago, in 2014, packed with a pretty large 4.8-inches multi touch screen, a high speed Hexa-Core processor (they are really a Quad-Core ticking at 1700 MHz and a Dual-Core at 1.7 GHz), and two cameras, a 20.7 MP back facing camera and a 2 MP front side camera.

Even though the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom only has 5.41" long and 2.79 inches wide, it's able to fit a a 4.8" display. This phone is quite thick for today's standards, being as thick as 0.65 inches. Apparently Samsung totally forgot about weight optimization, releasing a 7.05 oz heavyweight product. Samsung made the Samsung Galaxy K Zoomavailable just in three color options, black, blue and white.

This cellphone has a high-tech 1280 x 720 (HD) 4.8" screen, which makes it impossible to even see the pixels forming the screen. Its screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

Samsung decided to sell this cellphone with a Exynos 5 Hexa chip, which holds a very fast Hexa-Core processor (formed by a Quad-Core speeding at 1700 MHz and another Dual-Core speeding at 1700 megahertz) and a big 2 GB RAM memory. A nice advantage of this phone is the 8 GB quite big internal storage memory and a slot for external memory cards, allowing you to install hundreds of games and apps without running out of space.

This cellphone features two cameras, a 20.7 mega-pixels back camera and a 2 megapixels front facing camera. It also captures 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 60 fps. This cellphone also has multiple cool features: auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, face detection shooting, optical image stabilization, HDR mode, smile detection shooting and geo tagging.

This cellphone comes with a 2430 mAh massive Li-Ion removable battery that can keep this phone running for several hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it.

This cellphone includes WiFi connection (although it can't be shared with other devices acting as a hotspot), 4G (LTE) high performance internet connection and also HSPA+ connectivity, that is a slower 4G network and 3G fast connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Micro SIM card for GSM networks.

This cellphone also features some cool features as Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth phones and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This cellphone is not cheap at all considering it is priced 819 dollars, while many similar cellphones are being sold much cheaper than that. If you are looking for a gamer cellphone, love photography, will use it as a work cellphone or want a phone majorly for internet broswing and social networks, this cellphone is probably a great choice for you.
