Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom Review

3G Only (SM-C101)     See other variants reviews Score: 68.2 / 100

Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is a high quality Android cellphone launched in 2013, packed with a great 1.5 gigahertz Dual-Core CPU, a 4.3-inches multi-touch screen, and 2 cameras, a 16 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.9 mega-pixels front facing camera. Let's take a deeper look at what this phone can give us.

This phone is a compact cellphone, taking into account that it has a 4.3" display and it has just 4.94" long and 2.5 inches wide. This cellphone is a little thick compared to today's phones, being as thick as 0.61". Apparently Samsung didn't care about the weight at all, releasing it with a 7.34 ounces weight. Samsung made this phoneavailable only in 2 color options, black and white.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom includes a very good 4.3" screen with a 960 x 540 resolution, providing this phone with a detailed image quality. This screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

Samsung decided to build the S4 Zoom using an extremely fast Dual-Core CPU running at 1.5 GHz, bundled in a Samsung Exynos 4212 chip with a big 1,5 GB RAM memory. To handle graphic rendering, it also uses a 266 megahertz ARM Mali-400 MP4 graphic processing unit. This cellphone comes with a good 8 GB internal memory and an SD extension slot, which allows you to install hundreds of apps and games without running out of space.

This phone features wifi capability (although it can't be provided to other devices acting as a wireless modem), LTE 4G high speed data connection and also HSPA+ data connection, a bit slower 4G technology and 3G fast connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Micro SIM card for GSM connection.

The S4 Zoom has two cameras, a 16 MP back-facing camera and a 1.9 megapixels front-facing camera. It is also able to shoot videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 frames per second, and HD 1280x720 slow-motion videos at 60 fps. The camera also features many valuable features like auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, face detection shooting, optical image stabilization, geo tagging and HDR mode.

This phone uses a big 2330 mAh Li-Ion battery, which isn't very promising for a cellphone like this. According to Samsung, the S4 Zoom has an aproximate 18 hs stand by time and a 13 hours talk time.

This cellphone also includes some cool features as Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone might not be so convinient considering it is offerred for $ 249, while other similar phones are being sold cheaper than that. No matter if you will use it majorly for social networks, will use it to play lots of games, will use it as a work phone or you love taking photographs, this phone is a great choice .
