Recently, Samsung has sent out press invites for an event in Singapore on April 29th, which says “Kapture The Moment.” It looks quite interesting as it could be for another camera-centric phone from the Korean OEM or something related to cameras.
Recently, we spotted the camera-centric Galaxy K Zoom aka Galaxy S5 Zoom, which even posed for the camera as well. The handset is rumored to come with a 20MP camera, and was even spotted at the FCC, which is usually the last stop before the device makes its way to the retail shelves.
The alleged Samsung Galaxy K (S5) is rumored to come with a 4.8-inch display sporting a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, and is powered by a Samsung Exynos 5 Hexa (5260) SoC with ARM’s big.LITTLE architecture consisting of two 1.7GHz Cortex-A15 cores and four 1.3GHz Cortex-A7 cores.
Other features include 2GB RAM, 16GB storage with a microSD card slot, 20MP camera with 10X optical Zoom and should ship with Android 4.4.2 KitKat as its operating system.
Camera-Centric Features
The focus on the camera for the Galaxy K Zoom is evident from the specifications and the marketing tagline “Kapture The Moment.” The 20MP camera is expected to deliver high-quality images, and the 10X optical zoom will allow users to capture distant subjects with clarity. This makes the device particularly appealing for photography enthusiasts who want a powerful camera in their smartphone. Additionally, the camera is likely to include advanced features such as optical image stabilization (OIS), which helps in reducing blur caused by shaky hands, and various shooting modes to enhance the photography experience.
Performance and Usability
The Samsung Exynos 5 Hexa (5260) SoC with ARM’s big.LITTLE architecture is designed to provide a balance between performance and power efficiency. The two 1.7GHz Cortex-A15 cores handle demanding tasks, while the four 1.3GHz Cortex-A7 cores take care of less intensive operations, ensuring smooth performance without draining the battery quickly. With 2GB of RAM, the Galaxy K Zoom should be able to handle multitasking efficiently, allowing users to switch between apps seamlessly.
The 4.8-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels offers a decent viewing experience, making it suitable for watching videos, browsing the web, and playing games. The inclusion of a microSD card slot provides users with the flexibility to expand storage, which is particularly useful for those who take a lot of photos and videos.
The device is expected to run on Android 4.4.2 KitKat, which was the latest version of Android at the time. KitKat brought several improvements over its predecessors, including a more polished user interface, better performance, and enhanced security features. Users can also expect Samsung’s TouchWiz UI on top of Android, offering additional features and customization options.
April 29 is just a few days away, we’ll update you as soon as we get more information about the alleged handset. The event is highly anticipated, and it will be interesting to see what Samsung has in store for its fans and the tech community.
