Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom Unboxing

Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom Unboxing
Aaron unboxes the Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom, one of the family members in the Galaxy S 4 line of devices. Available online through Negri Electronics, the Galaxy S4 zoom sports a 1.5 GHz dual-core CPU, 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display (540x960 pixels), 1.5 GB of RAM, 2,330 mAh battery, and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with TouchWiz. The real star of the show is the 16-megapixel camera that's attached to the back, as it offers a wealth of modes for all picture types. In essence, it's a fusion of the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and Samsung Galaxy Camera, but if you're not in a market that offers it, it's a pricey option versus buying subsidized from a carrier.

EXCELLENT. SAMSUNG MOBILES AND TABLETS REALLY ROCKS

[@JONvincible]

It has a superior zoom lens, but image quality has yet to be determined. The sensor on the GS4 Zoom is relatively small, and its aperture range can't hold a candle to the 1020's constant f/2.2. They're also touting the 1020's lossless digital zoom, though I don't think it goes as far as 10x like this phone does. I'm sure people will do head-to-head comparisons once the 1020 is available.

[@warrenedwarda.5903]

Front: Phone Back: Camera

[@LifeOfJimbo]

+Goldenfreddy234 Plays Hopefully getting this sometime next week :) I think it's good to have a phone to use like a phone and a professional camera at the same time

[@123anes1]

Ok the huge lens and design change only for 3 more megapixels!!!!!GENIUS

[@MuhammadRafikBakhtshiren]

I miss this unboxing video

[@tomer_stern]

This is obviously the future of smartphones!

[@sonjakovacevic9500]

I think this is an awesome phone,that's my opinion and I like it :)

[@Shams-os4yb]

i to ♥

[@JONvincible]

A big selling point of the 1020 is its lossless digital zoom. It can't zoom as far as the GS4 Zoom, but it maintains a constant f/2.2 throughout. I'm interested in both phones, but the lack of apps on WP8 is disconcerting.

[@Darksugar1718]

I waiting for this video :D thanks Aaron :) your favorite fan from Barbados

[@pelon95]

That way of inserting battery, reminds me of my Sony Ericsson K850i , that was an awesome phone with killer features, that many companies today present as "innovations"

[@krishnansivakumar8625]

I bought this phone 7 to 8 years back this is one of my best phone ever

[@BlueChinchillaEatingDorito]

It's like everyday, Samsung is coming out with a new version of the S4

[@hsdavid9291]

looks huge... I hope they will have the design like Xperia Snap on lens

[@l_vadym_l]

I very like this model!!! I think its very COOL!!!

[@FahimAhmed-mh2pk]

Wow ! That is amazing. Love how the battery went. Really great

[@Kakaaa10]

I love it... Its just a Genius Idea

[@joshuatexas]

It’s 2023! So much has changed!

[@mohamedachrvf]

Who is at 2019❤💯?

​@@zahidhasan68 2023 I'm from ice age future

[@kuldeep14603]

From 2023

[@markinto66]

Im from 2024

[@justin________]

me: (using SG4 Zoom) hello? others: what the heck? he's using a camera to call? AWKWARD SITUATION

[@trustyturbo2922]

Didnt realize it was an actual phone! WOW!.

[@molugurivivek2740]

I am living in the year 2024. I am very surprised by this amazing idea from Samsung's S series. ❤💡

[@johnDingoFoxVelocity]

Nice review there is a greater app for camera control on the s4 zoom called pudding camera

[@encryptededdy]

The sensor itself is square-ish, however the lens atop it is a circle. The far corners of the sensor cannot be used as they are covered by the edge of the lens (remember, the lens is a circle, and the sensor is the same height and width of the lens, so therefore the corners are cut off.) Because you can't record a circle image, the resulting circle image is cropped - in widescreen mode, you see 38 megapixels, if you'r shooting in 4:3 ("square") aspect ratio, you see a different 38 megapixels.

[@charltontimbol01]

Watching this on my s4 zoom!!! :))

[@lxquid.ocelot]

It seems so rare now

[@narleycat5503]

i dont see anything wrong with this phone it has the best of both worlds, phone and camera in one. yassss!

[@PeterBlancoPhoneTechNet]

Dogfight of the century: Nokia 1020 vs Galaxy S4 Zoom. Can you make that happen when you get the 1020 Aaron?

[@aniketrazor1994]

Does the lens for this phone only protrude out manually by rotating that "ring" over the lens or can you do it by pressing some button on the screen?

[@bigsteamfan]

Wow, you sure do know a lot about the phone's camera configuration... Thanks for sharing it with me, very interesting stuff.

[@ZubinB]

Someone should just make a case with a camera like this one that attaches to the galaxy S4 just like a case and connect using microUSB port and an advanced camera app to show S4 users some love

[@Borntoobeking]

The moment where you drop it once and it's destroyed.

[@smsokona62]

Aaron i'm looking for a phone 4 my 1 year old daughter which Samsung phone would be best? She likes mostly playing games, texting her friends, and surfing the web.

[@Fullest123]

sony is the king in cameras but all the design in samsung cameras are great its just like phonecamera

[@rffd23]

When is it available on retail stores?

[@ReasonBeforeReligion]

A bigger lens collects more light and creates a better image even at the same megapixel, then you have the zoom, and 3 mp on top of all that, its a good camera!

[@LJLMETAL]

I originally thought the Galaxy S4 Zoom didn't have a Super AMOLED Screen. That is cool to know. That is a plus in my book

[@xristina22gx]

love this phonecamera!

[@RED_EYES11]

I laughed when I imagined how people with this device answer a phone call without a head phone

[@techguyguru]

How good is the video on the zoom?

[@EddyReyes_MN]

This is a funky looking phone with that camera. Just get the original S4 or at least the S4 Active. Samsung is just pushing it with this device.

[@nerdbychoice]

always remember he don't wanna poke us in the eye

[@bigsteamfan]

You can bet 1 million on that, I'm not a dev. I used to think just like you regarding the open-source aspect, then I realized it means the world to ANYONE, not only devs. Because being open-source, means that it gives devs the tools to do their project, which in turn, ALL OF US, can enjoy! So it's a pretty big deal. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if you think stock Android is ugly, you can modify it with a million mods, to your liking. I think WP is hideous, can I mod it's looks? NO...

[@mxmus08]

Samsung are simply testing the market. I take it that this not using the same type of sensor found in compact cameras? what next, interchangeable lenses, lens hood, filter attachments...etc?

[@suazinator]

I would prefer the Samsung galaxy s blaze 4g, good for doing all the things you mentioned

[@ptkewl]

who the hell woke up one day and thought this would be a good idea? mother of god.

[@TheDiver2212]

Every time he says "handy dandy" I always say notebook...

[@AbdulsamiMurad]

First commentator in 2022

[@dannielpreto]

We all do, sir, we all do... Goodbye childhood :(

[@bigsteamfan]

Well, yeah... I guess you're kinda right... But doesn't it have 41 megapixels, not 38?

[@paintedblue83]

@tromain27, the Nokia 1020 much like the 808 pureview takes up to 41 megapixel pics but the default is set at 8mp, it uses a technique called over sampling so that when you zoom into the pic your zooming into very small pixels crammed together for the clear zoom shots. I've had the 808 and my only let down was the OS.

[@TechWithKEM]

The Lumia 1020 runs circles around this. Not just in the camera. I mean they call it the S4 zoom, but not the S4 specs. It isn't even the S3 specs...

[@TheClickStreet]

Back when you actually assemble the phone with the battery

[@jerseydevil1995]

So. Many. God. Damn. Samsung Galaxy devices.

[@angelmarch8024]

How many times he said ''the galaxy s4''? lol

[@Cisco_24]

Why the hell doesn't it have software navigation keys like the galaxy camera!?! That darn home button!

[@Vk_2320]

I just want to buy this even in 2024❤

[@SigntheTreaty]

You should do a 30 Day Challenge with this!!!

[@PeterBlancoPhoneTechNet]

Doesn't mean we can't see a dogfight!

[@baebors2872]

Better u buy camera Canon or Sony

[@JONvincible]

I think the design is neat, but from what I've seen around the web, the image quality just isn't there. You'd think with a phone this dedicated to photography that the image quality would blow normal phone cameras out of the water.

[@Viernes_Cigars]

It seems like they could have sold the camera attachment and people would just add it to the back

[@komboissa4815]

where did he go?

[@tromain27]

Why is the camera only 16mp when windows doesn't even have that huge zoom lens on the back and they have 41mp? I don't get it!

[@AllYouCanEatShrimp385]

so basically you can't place it anywhere lol. it either lays on the touch screen or lays on the huge camera on the back.

[@saraafnan1003]

Can you review it with android kitkat

[@ConstantGains]

Better than the alumia 1080

[@JONvincible]

Lol, I read the original comment and I was trying to figure out if you were being sarcastic. :)

[@TonyLopez]

If I didn't have the HTC one. I would surely buy this phone.

[@mazufreelance]

What is the camera aperture???

[@paintedblue83]

Does this phone work on T-Mobile's HSPA+ network in the states??

[@anobayantv]

Nice review! Accurate!!

[@SunshineDC4]

Wht about the galaxy tab 3?? Thts something that is actually out now...

[@RoseTheOne64]

awesome phone

[@PrincessOTFH]

You should buy it because YOU want it and not care what other people think. I'm not scared to talk in public on my Note 2.

[@practice_game8101]

this phone is powerful than my current pc 💀💀😭😭

[@Huemen_]

It would be cool if it was water proof so you take pictures under water since it has a beter camara

[@sdvorsetz1]

it looks to be about the same size and thickness as the Epic 4G

[@nagrajchundi5291]

Power not opening What is the problem Battery new

[@GroundBeefPigeon]

I miss Aaron :(

[@Kncld]

where did he go?

[@GroundBeefPigeon]

I don't know, he retired.

[@venturadaryl22]

he file his resignation and want something new in his life. I just read that somewhere on the web.

[@Kncld]

***** holy shit

[@nandohuang]

After the launch of 1020, I think the thickness of S4 Zoom lens become funny. Digital Zoom is really great. For a camera phone, of course. I didn't see any special thing in S4 Zoom as a better camera than a camera phone, though...

[@HL2803]

Thank you for this video she is very good !!! I haven't all anderstand because I'm french but it's very good video for phone !!! Bye A french youtuber !!! :-)

[@Tygas15]

so what does it mean ?

[@iskandaarlamsah]

what is tripod??

[@jaelim5020]

Noel, since when megapixel is more important than zooming capability in everyday photo, uh??

[@Jamieb193]

You clearly know nothing about photography, When did you ever see a photographer use a zoom lens for a photoshoot? You don't. But what you do notice is his huge 18-24mp sensor. You can crop a picture if you need to. Zoom isn't needed for most things... The alternative is your feet... Move them

[@ZubinB]

Camera is lagging...you can see blur while he is moving the camera ..i dont exactly know wat this is called but i hate that Also dual core?? That was not expected

[@georgesebastian3652]

2019 anyone??

[@burakgundogdu2612]

Me

[@cikponti4879]

me

[@uNlimitedEntertainment123]

Yup it start up sounds like xp start up

[@dzuy12]

now they just need to combine the s4, s4 active, and the zoom into one device

[@southmemphisbro27]

Now i've seen everything

[@m2s4t6]

Why didn't my Samsung Galaxy s4 zoom come with headphones and a cloth to clean the camera with?

[@pendingcosmos4657]

Weird

[@m2s4t6]

kairon singh It was. Btw, I also called my cellphone provider and told them it looked used too as well as missing some items. They had the nerve to tell me that it wasn't on both counts. They're liars I because a new or slightly use one wouldn't have scotch tape on the box nor have tape on the phone to hold up the sticker in place.

[@pendingcosmos4657]

Why don't you go to that shop and complained what happened

[@m2s4t6]

kairon singh I probably should have because they made use my warranty to get a replacement phone, instead of just sending another one under the 14day trial period those bastards. So annoying they should have just given me a new one since it said it was new when I ordered it, but evidence doesn't lie. Good news the replacement phone works really good and they sent me a free upgraded pair of headphones just missing the cloth to clean the camera lense now.

[@pendingcosmos4657]

ok so how are you feeling

[@HardikChauhan-p3k]

2024

[@arindamb]

The Nokia Lumia 1020 with it's camera back beats the sh*t out of this DoA horse.

[@kingkopla]

Really?!... What's next the Samsung phone-smoothie blender!?

[@Tfrank22]

I love Samsung products, but will people actually by this?

[@LifeOfJimbo]

Hopefully getting this phone for £75 on Tuesday :) I don't like the weight of the phone, but I like how from one side it looks like a camera and the other side it looks like a phone. I had the original S4 and I miss the SlowMo video this will be my main phone and my spare phone will be a LG L40 Both these phones have gorilla glass which is awesome :)

[@ريان0العسري]

غىياما

[@bigsteamfan]

2nd comment, read the first one, first.. It may be cheaper to license, which will result in cheaper handsets, but I would GLADLY, shovel out 100 dollars more for my phone, if that means I'll have an open OS, with a truck-load of community support, and tweaks, mods and apps being developed for it every day, by the *thousands*! You should know by now, cheaper doesn't mean better. You say WP is growing, I say it's slowly crawling to it's grave. I simply don't think it's an OS that will catch on.

[@kylesmith8748]

How many freaking s4's are they going to make.

[@CarlPatric87]

i thought this was the size of the regular s4

[@alma123cordova]

How do you put the sim

[@snowriderist]

It looks like a brick gone back in time a bit haven't they

[@parrotfishko]

i both love samsung s4 zoom and nokia lumia 1020. who will be the cheapest is the winner.
