Before the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, many tech enthusiast had to make the choice between quality and convenience when it came to using either a separate point-and-shoot camera or the one on their mobile device. The 10x optical zoom that the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom offers in addition to professional photography features built right in makes it the best choice for those in the market for a phone that can effectively replace their traditional compact camera.
The 16-megapixel camera with BSI CMOS Sensor on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom makes it a true competitor against traditional cameras. The fully functioning Android operating system makes the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom a device that's truly half phone and half camera.
