Samsung South Africa today announced the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, a powerful new device which combines the design language of the Galaxy S4 smartphone with advanced photographic capabilities, not to mention the only smartphone with a 10x Optical Zoom in the world, to date.
As part of the Galaxy S4 family, the Galaxy S4 Zoom is the realisation of Samsung’s mission to create a single device that can fulfil the role of both an industry leading smartphone and a high-end compact camera. Combining 10x Optical Zoom, 16 Mega Pixel CMOS Sensor, OIS and Xenon Flash with the very latest Samsung Galaxy S4 technology, the Galaxy S4 Zoom sets new standards for perfect mobile photography. It is the ultimate smartphone and camera experience in one!
“The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom represents yet another step forward in the way Samsung is working to enhance the lives of our customers around the world,” says Craige Fleischer, Director of Mobile Communications at Samsung SA.
“As communication continues to become increasingly visual in nature, people wish to capture and share their moments in the highest quality possible, but often do not have the space or inclination to carry a dedicated camera for this purpose. The Galaxy S4 Zoom changes this forever, combining the industry leading functionality and connectivity of the Galaxy S4 with the high quality photographic experience you’d expect from a compact camera. The result is truly the best of both worlds, without compromise.”
