Launching in Singapore last month, the Galaxy K Zoom features a 20.7 MP 1/2.3-inch CMOS camera sensor with BSI and a Xenon flash and 10x retractable zoom lens.

There’s also a 2MP front camera for those essential social media-bound selfies, and the phone can record 1920×1080 full-HD resolution video at 60fps.

There’s a large 4.8-inch 720p screen, while lurking inside can be found a hexa-core Exynos 5 Hexa 5260 SoC CPU (two 1.7GHz Cortex-A15, four 1.3GHz Cortex-A7 cores), backed by 2 GB RAM, 8 GB internal memory and a microSD slot offering up to 64 GB additional storage.

Connectivity comes in the shape of LTE Cat 4, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 LE and a MicroUSB 2.0 slot, with the Samsung running on a generous 2430 mAh battery.

It’s a big of a hefty beast, measuring up at 20.2 mm thick, but at 200g, it’s 8g lighters than its predecessor, the S4 Zoom.
