Samsung Malaysia Electronics announced the new camera specialised smartphone, the Samsung GALAXY K zoom. It blends advanced digital camera technology with Samsung’s industry-leading GALAXY experience featuring effortless capturing ability, real optics, and a premium design, offering users the mobile solutions they need with the ability to create professional-quality visual content in a fun, easy–to-use device.
As a camera-specialised smartphone, the GALAXY K zoom offers an advanced technical camera system designed to offer the control and functionality of a professional camera, ensuring that the important moments are never missed and always captured with complete clarity. The GALAXY K zoom is equipped with new retracting lens technology that provides 10x optical zoom in a remarkably slim and chic body. Other notable features include the 20.7 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor for ultra-clear, ultra-detailed images. It excels in low light conditions, and provides Optical Image Stabiliser (OIS) to reduce blur caused by movement. These specifications ensure the device delivers pictures and video (Full HD) that are crisp and sharp, even when zoomed and in low light. In addition, the device’s Xenon Flash provides a brighter light than LEDs to improve the quality of the image with natural brilliance.
The new device also integrates the most advanced camera usability features and functions, including AF/AE Separation (Auto Focus/ Auto Exposure Separation) for the precise balance of light and clarity, next-generation Pro Suggest mode which offers 5 optimised filter settings, Selfie Alarm that allows users to take timed selfies with ease, and object tracking for a clear, focused shot of a moving subject. Each feature comes with a simple User Interface, allowing users to easily capture photos and videos with ground-breaking quality, in any situation.
The compact and highly portable GALAXY K zoom features an ergonomic grip and sleek, stylish lines that feel soft and comfortable in the hand. Additionally, the GALAXY K zoom offers all the features that consumers want in a flagship GALAXY smartphone, such as Ultra Power Saving Mode for minimising the battery consumption, S Health Lite for personalised fitness and lifestyle coaching, and a Studio app to allow users to easily edit their pictures and videos.
The Samsung GALAXY K zoom in Shimmery White will be available from 21 June onwards, while the Charcoal Black variant will be in store from 26 June onwards. They are available for purchase at a recommended retail price of RM1,699, at all Samsung Experience Stores and Samsung authorised dealers.
