ROFL!!

Take a 10k camera, put android on it, name it GALAXY S4 (something) and whoosh people will buy that crap for 30k....nIf you have even 1 thought of getting it as a camera better get a SLR...nnSLR will have at-least 8 times big sensor (for nearly same price)...nA key factor which affects quality of a camera..nnOne more point this is not at all a phone just look at the dimensions and weight of this phone...nnBest alternatives-nNokia 808 (biggest sensor on smart phone, nearly 4 times of s4 zoom)nNokia 1020 (slaightly smaller than 808)nSony Xperia z1 (same sensor size as of s4 zoom)

Review by SGS4 ZOOM Owner. People who are seriously thinking about buying this products please read my review and make your decision

I purchased this Phone on Feb 1st 2014 from Samsung store for 30K. I also got One Flip Case which also have cover for camera lens. Sennheiser HeadPhones, 16GB samsung micro SD card. 50 GB of Drop box. all worth around 5K. So my total cost came down to 25K. I have seen lot of 1 star ratings on this Phone. Yes I agree that the phone look odd when you speak to some one from it. The camera lens behind it looks bulky and also phone is heavier than normal slim smart phones of its class. However, if you compromise for those things then you are getting a handy phone with good phone features and a very good in fact excellent Camera. No Phone in this world has 10X Optical Zoom (Emphasizing on Optical Zoom). Sensors are almost same in all the phones of their respective classes. Picture taken at 10X optical zoom is as clear as the picture taken without zoom in Sunlight. You don't have to carry a separate DSLR camera if you go out for touring. You'll get excellent pictures with this phone.nnCons: Internal memory is only 8GB can be better. If it had 16GB then it would have been excellent.nnPlease read this review and make your decision and don't go by the review of 1 star reviews who are criticizing the makers of this phone. They are giving their best shot to satisfy their customer base. Please stop criticizing Phone makers and make your own decisions. Do not mislead Customers.nnYou can also wait for some more time to get Samsung Galaxy K Zoom which has excellent features and yet it is sleek in design. I bet in next 2 or 3 years people will forget about buying cameras and go with these Phone/Cameras. Of course professional photographers can ignore this review ;-)nnPeople who are seriously thinking about buying this products please read my review and make your decision. Flipkart selling this phone for such a discounted prize please don't lose this opportunity. In fact it is worth buying this phone for 16499/-

Awesome Allinone device in my pocket

Firstly, I am very disappointed with Flipkart for showing wrong information that Flip cover nwas free with this phone. However Samsung website said offer had ended. nnI felt that this phone makes me complete. I have everything I need from gadgets in one device. It is really not that bulky to carry it in pocket unless you wear skin tight pants. It might be weird in beginning to use this camera designed device as phone, but eventually we get used to it. Overall, its a very satisfying, eye catching useful device with great performance.nnPros of Camphone -n1. Camera takes very high quality videos,n2. Xenon Flash is so bright that the background in the picture taken in pitch dark is clearly visible,n3. The flash lasts only milliseconds that human eyes can tolerate the sudden bright flash light without forcing the person to close the eyes and it takes the picture perfectly in that milliseconds duration. n3. Photo clarity is quite satisfying even in low light conditions without flash,n4. Phone works smooth and fast without any lags even when multitasking with several apps running in parallel.n5. Amazing battery life especially under super save mode - with basic use like calling, messaging, Facebook, chatting etc it lasts for 35-40 hours. I had taken this on my last foreign trip. I was able to take many pictures and videos and also use basic features for whole day. This is the first smartphone that I have seen with such a good battery life.n6. Bulky camera on the rear actually turned out to be advantageous for me. I hold the phone resting the bulk lens part on my forefingers and use the free thumb on touchscreen. The bulk lens part can also be used as stand to place it slant on desk to watch videos.n7. All S4 camera features including drama shot, sound shot, continuous shot etc are present in this device. Group play, Air gesture and other new S4 features are present in this device also.n8. It has got every smartphone features like NFC, Wi-Fi direct, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth, 3G, 3.5G, 4G LTE, DLNA, IR Blaster etc with latest Android Jelly Bean OS.n9. Use phone as Remote control using IR port and Samsung WatchOn App, worked smoothly with old CRT TV.nnCons -n1. Videos and pictures are noisy when zoomed beyond 7.9x. It doesn't take smooth good quality photos when completely zoomed.n2. The zoom is stepwise. I was expecting a smooth zoom where I can zoom and halt at any point. The steps taken are 1.2X, 1.4X, 1.6X, 1.8X, 2.2X, 3.1X, 4.2X, 5.6X, 7.9X, 10.0X. It is impossible to stop at any other intermediary zoom positions.n3. Cannot zoom in Panorama mode unlike in Sony / Fuji film.n4. There is no flash (flash option disabled) in Samsung's Smart modes. I have to switch to expert manual mode or auto mode to use flash,n5. Flashlight cannot be used as Torch using Android Flashlight apps.n6. The notification light is either absent or doesn't work in my device,n7. Sometimes the camera lens part gets jammed with pant pocket while taking out the phone while still sitting. n8. Zoom noise is still captured while recording video even with Quiet zoom turned on in settings. I haven't seen any camera with optical zoom that filters zoom sound completely.n9. No FM

What Happend To SAMSUNG....!!!!????? Very disappointing.....

Why do anyone want to carry such a bulky phone?? And neither u can use it as a phone or a camera comfortably. They just trying to sell their products in INDIA by exploiting people mentality to show off. I had some respect for this brand but seriously they are degrading it. I accept S3 is a great phone but why are they using the same design for all the products later on.nnNow in market LG and SONY phones are really doing great. No body knows LG phones because they wont give much advisement or promotions as Samsung , so the price is also less. n nIf this condition goes on I am sure Samsung is going to loose their market leadership. Otherwise buyers has to stay fools.....

waste

While the camera is great by smartphone standards it's still pretty poor compared to most standalone cameras. Aside from the camera the Samsung Galaxy S4 also seems a little over priced for what it is as the screen isn't full HD and it only has a dual-core processor, which noticeably led to slow down on a few occasions, particularly when launching apps or changing modes on the camera.nThere's also only 8GB of built in storage which really is a paltry amount and while it isn't as bulky or awkward as we thought it might be the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is still far from slim or light.
