Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom Priced for the United Kingdom

Samsung's Galaxy S4 hasn't been out that long but already the company has announced numerous different models of the phone to fit every market. There's the mini for those that don't want all the heft that comes with the regular S4, there's the Active for those that like to get down and dirty and don't want to worry about their phone while doing it. The hackers have the S4 running stock Android, and the photo enthusiasts have the Galaxy S4 Zoom.

 

Announced the second week of June, Samsung revealed that while the fifth Galaxy S4 wouldn't be available in the United States until Q3, it's hitting the United Kingdom this summer. To that end, we've got some pricing on this bad boy for you. UK phone retailer Clove has the X4 Zoom up for pre-order for £442 including VAT. The site says it expects first stock to arrive on July 8.

The Galaxy S4 Zoom sports a 16MP camera with 10x optical zoom and a 1.9MP front-facing camera. As with the Galaxy S4 mini and S4 Active, the device doesn't actually have the same specs as the original S4, just the same S4 branding. The S4 Zoom packs a 4.3-inch qHD display and a dual-core 1.5 GHz CPU coupled with 1.5 GB RAM. There's also 8 GB of onboard storage.

    If you don't care about size and want good zoom, get this. If you don't really care about size and want good pictures, get 1020.

    It is insulting to put this in the same category as LUMIA 1020 or PUREVIEW 808 for that matter. These cameras (Nokia models with 41mp sensor) have a massive 1/1.2" sensor and can actually shoot during low light due to its amazing S/N due to super sampling technique. Nevermind the fact that the 808 (and hopefully the 1020) has the insane wide band stereo audio recording of upto 145 dB!
