admit that the Samsung Galaxy Camera, which debuted last year, has not fascinated me so much that I wanted to get the device in your hands. What’s another year’s Galaxy S4 Zoom, which combines a decent smartphone with a camera equipped with a tempting lens. I admit, however, that still something was lacking in this device.
equipment may surprise you. As the name suggests, is equipped with a very similar to the S4 Galaxy Mini (GT-i8190) cover, and the same Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 540 × 960 pixels (256 ppi) and the same amount of RAM – 1.5 GB. The system is in both cases, Android 4.2.2, but with prolonged use, you can find some differences. Zoom was, of course, with a larger battery than the Mini (2330 mAh, 1900 mAh terms), and another processor – S4 mini got clocked at 1.7 GHz two-core chip Qualcomm, and Zoom is based on the dual-core, Exynos 4212 copyright system, clocked a speed of 1.5 GHz. This specification sets S4 Zoom (by AnTuTu) almost on par with the HTC One X and slightly below the Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3. The results do not overthrow, but the equipment is sufficient both to less demanding games and image processing using Snapseed. There’s an 8 GB internal memory which can be expanded by putting in an easily accessible microSD card slot. The display even allows you to work full autumn sun, but in these conditions the colors are a bit biased, so I do not recommend treatment. To operate the camera, however, quite enough. I was somewhat surprised accessory kit comes with the camera, and specifically the lack of consistency … Ear Headphones white and black charger with USB cable attached black. There were microfiber cloth to clean the lens.
In contrast to its predecessor, S4 Zoom module is equipped with GSM connectivity (no LTE) and a microSIM slot. Moreover, we can find Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi dual-band, IR transmitter, A-GPS and Glonass, NFC and an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass and proximity sensor. As befits a multimedia device, the image can be made available by the MHL, if you have the right cable.
deserves praise in my opinion, the location of the – both the power switch and volume control can be found on “top” device held in position “shooting” in the left hand. At the right hand, like a compact camera, we find a two-stage shutter button. This arrangement works well when you hold the device in the “mobile” and when the unit is on the stand. Samsung took care of because of the camera can be mounted on any tripod equipped with a standard screw. In some cases, lent me a pocket tripod for compact cameras, which acquired a few years ago for about 30 dollars and I think that in such a gadget should be fitted, if someone decides to buy an S4 Zoom. He was surprised to find that the tripod is lighter than the camera itself – S4 Zoom weighs 208 grams and the screen size identical as S4 mini is really thick (154 mm). Holding it is not the most pleasant, whether in the position of the camera when the mind weight, small and very slippery grip housing, be it as a phone – in this position just very easy to put your fingers in the lens, which, moreover, interfere during a conversation. And yet no one cleaned it before each shot …
Unfortunately, using this device must also be set to a daily charge. Invariably, I also had the dilemma of how to safely be put off: the bottom of the screen or the lens? With two evils I think I’d rather scratch the screen than the cover of the optical system … besides, I still had the feeling he was going to drop the equipment. Really not here “ears” on the wrist strap that can be found in many compact cameras and some smartphones.
