Here is the official press release:
Samsung Introduces the GALAXY S4 zoom - the first smartphone to offer 10x optical zoom, for perfect picture taking
June 12, 2013
A
revolutionary new device that converges the best of a high performance
smartphone and camera, the GALAXY S4 zoom delivers the best of both
worlds
LONDON, UK - June 12, 2013 - Samsung
Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the launch of the Samsung GALAXY
S4 zoom, a powerful new device which combines the stylish heritage of
the latest GALAXY S4 smartphone with advanced photographic capabilities.
Part
of the GALAXY S4 family, the GALAXY S4 zoom is the realization of
Samsung’s mission to create a single device that can fulfill 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, and the only device
you’ll ever need.
“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,” said JK Shin, President and CEO, Head of IT & Mobile
Communications Division, Samsung Electronics. “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.”
Revolutionary new interface
Do it all and miss nothing thanks to the revolutionary new Zoom Ring,
a simple and intuitive way to access the GALAXY S4 zoom’s key features.
When you’re in the middle of a phone call and you see something you
absolutely have to share, a quick twist of the Zoom Ring will activate
the In-Call Photo Share feature, letting you capture and send an image directly via MMS to whoever you are talking to simply.
For easy camera navigation, the Zoom Ring can be used to activate the Quick Launch andShortcut features, giving you instant access to multiple camera modes including Auto, Gallery and Smart Mode with a simple twist.
The
Zoom Ring also revolutionizes conventional camera zoom controls.
Optical zoom control replaces traditional dials and buttons with smooth,
easy-to-operate digital controls. Professional-quality accuracy and
unprecedented ease of use are just a twist away, making it easy to
compose a scene and capture wide-angle shots or tight close-ups.
Capture the best images
When it comes to high quality photography, bigger isn’t always better. The compact GALAXY S4 zoom’s best-in-class 10x Optical Zoom and 16MP BSI CMOS Sensor lets
you capture beautiful images from far away or up close and personal, in
all light conditions, without having to carry heavy camera gear around
with you. Furthermore, the built-in Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) helps
keep the camera perfectly still even when you’re not, reducing blur and
stabilizing the image while zoomed in for high-quality photos and
video.
Photo Suggest instantly
connects you to huge libraries of images taken by fellow photographers,
to help you find and compose your best shots anywhere in the world.
Photo Suggest can even direct you to the ideal nearby location which
will give you the vantage point you need for that perfect photo.
The GALAXY S4 zoom also features Samsung’s popular Smart Mode,
so you can stop worrying about settings and start taking
professional-quality artistic shots. Simply choose from a series of
pre-set modes and the camera will automatically adjust to ensure you
capture the best photo possible. Use Drama Shot to merge continuous
shots of moving objects into a single composed image, or Action Freeze
to instantly capture high-speed action. If you aren’t sure which Smart
Mode to select, the Smart Mode Suggest feature can assess the
scene for you and provide a short list of the best options for your
consideration based on surrounding factors such as light levels, focal
length, or face detection, ensuring you always get the best shot you
want.
Unlimited entertainment in the palm of your hand
The GALAXY S4 zoom's heritage is evident throughout, from its sleek and stylish design to the powerful, yet intuitive user interface. Running on Android Jelly Bean 4.2, the GALAXY S4 zoom boasts many of the same features as the recently launched GALAXY S4, includingTouchwiz,
which lets you fully customize various aspects of your device including
the lock screen and notification bar, for a truly personal mobile
experience.
When you return from your travel adventures, Story Album lets
you arrange all of your treasured images and videos into one timeline
to share with friends and loved ones. You can also edit images and even
order prints directly from the device through a partnership withblurb＊. If you’d rather transfer your images to your laptop or tablet for safe keeping, Samsung Link lets
you do so quickly and easily with just the touch of a button.
Alternatively, you can sync all of your data in your own personal cloud
through HomeSync, providing the ultimate peace of mind and ensuring your images and videos are waiting for you whenever you need them.
The GALAXY S4 zoom features the new Samsung Hub,
a one-stop destination for all of the latest music, videos, books and
games. Search, download and enjoy all of your favorite entertainment at
the touch of a button, all directly from your device. When you find that
amazing new track or game that you can’t wait to share with your
friends, Group Play lets you connect directly with their Samsung
devices so you can all listen and play together, without the need for a
Wi-Fi AP or cellular signal.
