Samsung Galaxy K Zoom vs Samsung Galaxy S5
Looking at Samsung's 2014 Galaxy phones side-by-side.
Samsung today announced the newest addition to the Galaxy family, the Galaxy K. This phone is most definitely a follow on to the Galaxy Camera. But while the Galaxy S4 Zoom was definitely a modified Galaxy S4, the Galaxy K Zoom (the 'K' stands for 'kamera'), is not all that similar to this year's flagship Galaxy S5. The device uses a different processor, has a fraction of the storage, wildly different camera hardware (obviously), a smaller screen, a smaller battery, a smaller (and lower resolution) display, and a heavier overall package. Check out our side-by-side comparison for the full breakdown on how these 2014 Samsung devices differ from each other in terms of hardware.
The Galaxy K Zoom is interesting in that it's not trying to be the Galaxy S5 with a beefed up camera. Instead, it represents a totally different type of smartphone, one that hopes to compete with the likes of the Lumia 1020 and is aimed directly at the snap-happy photo enthusiast (we stop short of saying photographers, because not a lot of photographers would give up their DSLR for a point-and-shoot). Samsung hasn't felt the need to cram the highest of high-end specs into this device. At this point, smartphone technology has progressed to the point where you don't need to have the fastest or the biggest phone on the market. Though every company likes to have their flagship, devices like the Moto G and the Nexus 5 are showing us that customers are more than happy if you give them decent specs with a reasonable price. Finding that balance can be difficult, especially when you add the fact that Samsung's Galaxy K Zoom is a niche device on top of that. Sammy hasn't mentioned pricing for the Galaxy K Zoom, so we'll reserve judgement until we hear the magic number, but we're hoping this one is a good value.

Alsto there is no such ting as a 64GB limit, the three limits are
1. SD 2GB
2. SDHC 32GB
3. SDXC 2TB
the reasomn they write those limits are so thy wont get sued by some stupid costomer that expects he can buy a 2TB sd card for his phone if they write it. Therefore they usually just write the biggest available at the time.
Because of the micro-sd slot.
I shudder to think that a giant clunky compound lens fixture slapped onto a gimped smartphone is going to compete with a sleek design like the lumia 1020. I haven't jumped from android to windows, but between the two, I'd take the lumia any day of the week vs. this thing.

While hard to find 4gigabyte SD cards DID exist as part of the standard(but some devices did not read them). This was just before SDHC came out.
So this device may well not like larger cards.
It's 1/2.3" if you were wondering.
